The Language of Dreams is a breakthrough series introducing a step-by-step method of dream analysis previously unavailable outside of intensive psychotherapy. Produced by experts in Jungian dream analysis and hosted by Jungian analyst Elizabeth Strahan, the programs guide you through dream techniques emphasizing Jung's synthetic, creative approach to translating the messages delivered from the unconscious via dreams.

While the complete series is a comprehensive exploration of the language of dreams, the first two programs are a complete introduction to Jungian dream work. You’ll learn to listen to the psyche as it speaks to you in dreams and unlock the messages from the unconscious by understanding its particular language.

Our dreams have a superior intelligence in them: a wisdom and cleverness that guides us. They convey to us illuminating insights. They warn us about danger. They predict future events. They hint at the deeper meaning of life. Dreams steer us to an adapted, wise attitude toward life.
