Dream Interpretation 101
a teleclass starting Feb. 20
Dreams are letter from home, from a place deep in the psyche that has a
picture of our life, from the land of our unconscious beyond the
awareness of the ego state.
Dreams can save us from blindness to something important, can tell a
story that is not completely obvious to us while awake, and can remind
us of parts of ourselves we have forsaken.
Join us in this rich, frank
discussion and learning group where we will learn:
-
Three ways to recall dreams
-
Many ways of interpreting dreams
-
Main
misconceptions about dreams
-
13 very common dreams that have universal meaning
Participants will also have
the opportunity to share their dreams for interpretive feedback from the
group.
Dreams break open our narrowness of vision…they remind us how vast we
really are…and they give us the world in terms of our wholeness rather
than our brokenness or woundedness. When we have forgotten
ourselves, the dreammaker remembers.

Top Ten Advantages of
the Teleclass Format
Teleclasses are more than just a different delivery medium
(as compared to brick-and-mortar classrooms). Teleclasses are a
different approach to teaching. In fact, they are more about causing
change, accelerating development/evolution and producing results/change
than they are about information-transfer or other traditional teaching
methods.
Below, you will read about what's different -- and special -- about
the Teleclass format and approach. (Note: We are comparing and
contrasting the teleclass format to/with the traditional classroom
environment, but we don't mean to come across critically about that
format -- that format provides a high-value experience as well.)
1. Results-orientation. Traditional classrooms are about
transferring information and measuring how much the student grasped, can
use and/or has retained. This is also an important aspect of the
teleclass format. But the teleclass approach goes farther. Many
teleclasses are designed to help the student reach a goal, make a
change, prove what they learned, or fix a problem during the teleclass,
not just after it. This approach helps the student to learn more deeply
and to assimilate the information/skills completely because they are
using it, not just learning/understanding it. Big difference. When
focusing on desired results, participants learn the information/skills
2-10 times faster/better/deeper (as compared to theoretical learning).
2. Increased participation and inclusion. On the teleclass,
everyone is sitting in the front row and there is more
"personal/experimental" talking and sharing. Because of the anonymity of
the teleclass, most participants feel more confident about sharing
personal stories, problems or situations because they won't be as judged
and they won't run into a classmate the next time they are at the mall!
People feel safer, so they take more risks. Taking risks makes the
teleclass even more interesting (for both the risk-taker and the other
participants).
3. Magic of meeting experienced, accomplished colleagues. In
a traditional classroom, you can meet interesting people as well, but
they tend to be geographically/culturally similar to you. With the
national/international classroom, you have a much higher chance of
meeting people who can change your life, even if you have a virtual
(meaning not geographically proximate) relationship with them. The
people attending teleclasses are generally successful and have a track
record, so you're co-learning with people who can teach you something
because they've been through it. This is different than most traditional
classrooms/universities where the instructor really IS the authority and
the students are just the students.
4. Fast-developing intimacy. Because of the freedom to share
personal or meaningful things, participants tend to bond much more
quickly in a teleclass format vs. a traditional classroom format. They
are there to work together and hear/be with each other without the
distractions/diversions of clothing, uncomfortable chairs, stress of
driving to the classroom, opinions about another classmate's hair style,
etc. teleclasses are a cleaner, more superconductive environment.
5. Precise foci possible. Thanks to the
national/international nature of the telephone (vs. the geocentric
limitations of the traditional classroom), it's more likely that one can
tap into a group of people who have very specialized/narrow mutual
interests, via phone. In other words, there may not be enough people in
the same city/region to support a tightly focused traditional-classroom
course, but there would be enough folks nationally to make that slice of
study viable financially (for both the student and the teacher/virtual
university).
6. Comfort, convenience and commitment to learning . People who take
teleclasses are there because they want to learn the information and
grow because of it. They are not there to get their need for physical
socialization or attention getting. In addition, many people get off the
learning track because they get married, get a career, have children,
get busy/involved in projects, adventures and other great life stuff.
"Going back to school" sounds like it would mean cutting out a part of
one's life, sacrificing something. But with teleclasses, you can "fit
in" an hour a week to learn something you want to learn. The
time/disruption cost is minimal, the financial cost is negligible and
the ripple affect from being "tapped in" to others on a similar learning
track is very rewarding and beneficial. One discovers how to integrate
vs. compartmentalize learning, thanks to the convenience and flexibility
of the teleclass format.
7. Opportunity to affect/contribute to the class. The
traditional classroom carries the power structure of "I am the teacher;
you are the student." This is not nearly as true in the teleclass
format. Most teleclass leaders rely on the participants to help with the
class content and examples; synergy and collaboration results. This is a
huge difference and increases value exponentially.
8. Higher-end discussion. Because (theoretically, anyway) 90% of the
content of a teleclass can be learned/gotten outside of the teleclass
itself (via the web, e-mail, etc.), the instructor and participants have
more time to focus on the specific application of the information (and
brainstorming too) during the actual teleclasses. Students quickly come
to expect this type of high-end, stimulating discussion from a
teleclass, instead of basic information transfer. This is a radical
attitudinal change compared to the
"come-to-class-to-learn-the-information traditional approach." The
information/instructor is the star of the traditional classroom; the
students and synergy/wisdom-created is the star of the teleclass.
9. Wisdom-creation environment. Because of how the
participants are set up to learn/listen/participate in a teleclass, and
the fact that the instructor is in facilitation/coaching mode (vs.
straight information-delivery mode), there is almost an (healthful)
expectation that something terrific will be created, presenced or
discovered during the teleclass itself, by everyone. In other words,
wisdom can be created, instead of just information being transferred.
It's a whole 'nother feeling.
10. Lifelong learning is more likely. Because of the
convenience and the nature of the teleclasses, you may find yourself
wanting to keep learning as a lifelong priority, instead of just taking
classes when you "need to" or in order to get a degree or certification.
Remember how it was during your college days? Always engaged, learning,
interested? You can have that again, yet with the convenience of the
teleclass format. (And without the cafeteria food, juvenile antics,
etc.)
