About this course

Dream interpretation has been an integral part of Classical Chinese Diagnosis as evidenced in the Neijing and Ling Shu.
Through dreams, the Hun-Ethereal soul helps release accumulated pathogenic factors from external climatic causes, dietary or internal non-expressed emotions.

The ancient Chinese understanding of dreams combined with modern concepts of neuroscience and psychiatry provide a very powerful diagnostic and therapeutic tool.

This workshop covers:

Physiology of Dreaming (Western and Chinese)
The role of the Liver and Hun in the dreaming process
Dream significance according to the ancient classical texts
Physiological and psychological interpretation of dreams and therapeutic applications
Clinical examples
