ABSTRACT
This chapter concentrates on supramodal dreamwork, particularly emphasizing dreamwork with emotions and bodywork, which are the modalities that people are least aware of experientially in dreams. Dreams do not provide complete scenes from childhood – they contain individual elements which, directly or symbolically, arouse associations to childhood. Memories are almost never complete – they are fragmented and reintegrated in the dream narrative. Prospective dreams usually contain an increased occurrence of universal, impersonal symbols of transformation that may be, for instance, finding new roads, experiencing sexual unification, emerging from a dark tunnel, being bathed in a light of unusual clarity, meeting a particularly wise person or talking animal, valuable objects, fountains of youth, angels, and majestic birds. Dreams are a wholeness of images, body sensations, movements, thoughts and feelings. In dreams, the stream of information is generally understood to move from body to emotions to image.
