    Freud believed that a dream is a disguised wish fulfillment, one function of which is to protect the continuation of sleep. Karl Abraham, in contrast, theorized that “it is not only during sleep that we dream.” The idea that we are continuously dreaming will be the focus of this Weekend Intensive. We will explore the theories of several psychoanalysts who believe we dream not only during sleep, but when awake, especially during the analytic hour. We will take a fresh look at Freud’s Interpretation of Dreams in light of current thinking, including Montague Ullman’s method of group dream sharing and Bion and Ogden’s views on the analyst’s reverie and the analytic third, which allow us to understand patients’ dreams via co-created mechanisms. Consistent with the drive theory model, we will discuss of the role of aggression in dreams. We will also consider the current dream research of sleep scientists Zadra and Stickgold. Participants are encouraged to present case material and relevant dreams. 
     
    This weekend seminar will examine the theory and utilization of countertransference feelings in treatment. A variety of case examples will be presented and explored. This will be an interactive learning experience combining theory with process experiences of the group. Readings will be made available to participants.
