"An invitation to the inner world that opens the door to dreams."

Healing begins when you read the dream letter, the language of symbols!
A practical guide to dream work, covering everything from self-understanding to counseling sessions.

If you want to interpret the unconscious messages conveyed by dreams and move toward self-understanding and healing, the first step begins with facing your dreams.
How should we view our dreams and how should we approach them?

『The Psychology of Dreams and Collective Projective Dream Work』 is a book that provides specific and systematic guidance on how to understand and interpret dreams, based on the theories of Freud, Jung, and Perls, as well as actual counseling cases, to answer these questions.
This book views dreams not simply as psychological phenomena, but as profound messages for self-reflection, growth, and integration. It is a practical guide that provides specific methods for accessing repressed emotions and core issues through dreams.

This book helps even those who don't remember their dreams reconnect with their unconscious by understanding the structure and symbolic language of dreams.
From the perspective that dreams are not simply objects of analysis, but rather mirrors through which we encounter our true selves, we present an integrated approach encompassing psychology, spirituality, symbolic interpretation, and clinical practice.

The book, consisting of 10 chapters in 4 parts and an appendix, follows the following flow.

Part 1 covers the structure of dreams, symbolic language, the relationship between sleep, brain waves, and dreams, and types of dreams, which are the basis of dream work.

Part 2 compares and analyzes the major dream interpretation techniques, focusing on the theories of Freud, Jung, and Perls.

Part 3 presents the theory and method of 'collective projective dream work', which has recently been attracting attention in clinical practice, and includes actual dream work cases according to the method.

Part 4 explores the world of dreams and archetypes through myths and folktales, and further explores the value and meaning of 'aha' experiences and projective work.


In the appendix, we present a path to finding meaning by discussing how complexes and various archetypes emphasized in Jungian psychology appear in dreams.


This book, which clearly and easily explains the theory of dreams, which can be perceived as complex and difficult, is structured so that anyone can understand and utilize it, from general readers interested in dreams to psychological counselors who wish to utilize dreams in counseling, and even students learning about dream work.

Author Kim Jung-ho is an expert who completed the Dream Work Leader course at the Hayden Institute in the United States and has extensive clinical experience in counseling and spirituality.
Currently, he is an honorary professor at the Graduate School of Healing Counseling and the director of the Healing Counseling Research Institute. He runs a wide range of programs, including group projection dream work, trauma healing counseling, inner child healing counseling, one-job healing counseling, and spiritual healing training.

"The Psychology of Dreams and Collective Projective Dreamwork" provides a clinical approach with in-depth theory for all those who wish to encounter their inner selves through dreams.
Not only does it explain complex dream theories in an easy-to-understand way, it also contains content that can be directly applied to actual counseling or dream work.
Therefore, for counselors who wish to apply dream work in their counseling settings, this is an opportunity to acquire immediately applicable techniques, and for readers who wish to study dreams, this is an opportunity to learn and expand their knowledge and understanding of the psychological theories of dreams.
