A “Bringing to Awareness” Dream

Abstract

The following is a presentation of a ‘bringing to awareness’ dream. It is purely descriptive and I think that it relates to Havlicek’s notion about the relationship between the “activation of kinesthetic modality with imagined movement...it is as if the image of movement itself awakened consciousness” (p. 10). More importantly it shows how the ‘dreamer’ integrates the differing stimuli and needs —to weave and guide the dream in order to satisfy the need; it appears to be a creative problem—solving situation.
