Living Beyond the Five Senses
The Giant Compass: Dream Book
About Me
- Teresa L. DeCicco
- I am a professor, author, researcher and applied clinician in Psychology. I became interested in the science of consciousness and dreaming while working with cancer patients, years ago. I noticed that the cancer patients I worked with wanted to talk about their dreams. Though I was not particularly interested in dreams at the time, patients continued to bring them up; session after session. I finally decided to explore the science of dreaming and found a whole world of knowledge. The science of dreaming was being studied all over the world by a vast array of scientist! This is when my own scientific explorations began. I studied dreams and then designed techniques for linking them to waking day life in meaningful ways. My work became focused on helping people with self-discovery and self-change. Dreams can help with health issues, relationships, work-related issues, and bring life-changing information into the conscious mind. Dreams are a problem-solving mechanism that will bring forth novel solutions. My work is my way of sharing what I have learned from research and practice, with the world.

Looking forward to all the insight on the wonderous world of dreams :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to this as well. I often don't remember dreams and this is my first online class. So this will be very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI agree Jade. I'm hoping to get a few tips on how to better remember a dream
DeleteI am looking forward to this too... I'm really excited to get started :)
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem Jade, I often can't remember my dreams either, unless there was something particular vivid about them.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about this course too.
I have always been interested in the intangible space of dreaming; so mystical, mysterious, and somewhat magical! Yet, can be studied in a scientific light. Considering that I have always believed that dreams can help solve problems in one’s waking life, I feel that this class is going to be very exciting!...The subtitle of the Giant Compass, Navigating Your Life with Your Dreams, really struck my curiosity. I look forward to exploring this interesting topic, and acquiring knowledge to certain notions I wonder about :)
ReplyDeleteI have also always been fascinated by dreams. I used to study them on my own time and considered them more spiritual. My dreams used to be vivid and extreme and now I hardly remember them - maybe because my life has become more practical during recent years. I'm excited to re-dabble into this field, but even more-so, I am excited that psychology has begun to re-examine dreams and consider their meaning and importance. I am very happy to be able to take a class like this in a university setting; it is rare. At the same time, I am excited to dive into my potential and become more connected with myself through dream interpretation and meditation. Thank you for offering this course!
ReplyDeleteI'm also looking forward to the course and especially exploring dreams and their meanings. I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds it frustrating when you're having a great dream, you wake up and do your best to remember what happened, but something distracts you and you've forgotten what the dream was about. Getting a handle on remembering dreams and then trying to figure out their meaning would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI have a conscious tendency to allow myself to rest the extra time I need in order for my dream to unfold as naturally as possible. The waking world can wait because it is the dreaming that makes our upright lives more liveable. I believe that my dream state is a free flowing thought process where my imagination has no bounds.
