Dreamwork

Dreamwork refers to the process of analyzing, interpreting, and working with dreams, often with the goal of personal growth, self-discovery, or therapeutic healing. This practice is rooted in various psychological and spiritual traditions, with prominent figures like Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung contributing significantly to its development. In Hebrew, dreamwork can be translated as עבודה על חלומות (avodah al chalomot), while in German it is known as Traumarbeit, and in French as travail sur les rêves. Dreamwork can involve techniques such as dream journaling, active imagination, and guided imagery, and it is often used in psychotherapy to help individuals explore their subconscious mind, resolve inner conflicts, and gain insights into their emotions and behaviors. The contextual information surrounding dreamwork is vast, encompassing cultural, historical, and scientific perspectives, and it continues to be a subject of interest in both academic and popular contexts.

Tool of psychoanalysis
Dreamwork is the exploration of the images and emotions that a dream presents and evokes. It differs from classical dream interpretation in that it does not attempt to establish a unique meaning for the dream. In this way the dream remains "alive" whereas if it has been assigned a specific meaning, it is "finished". Dreamworkers take the position that a dream may have a variety of meanings depending on the levels that are being explored.
