Thursday, November 8th ~ Layne Dalfen: Dream Analysis
Dreams reveal the solutions to your problems and understanding the language gives you the power, comfort and flexibility in how you decide to react to a person or a situation. Dream analysis is an incredible opportunity to escape your repetitive and tired responses that you may have been accustomed to from childhood. Layne will discuss her method which not only helps dreamers uncover why they had that dream last night, but more importantly what a solution looks like when it comes in the form of a metaphor.
Layne Dalfen founded The Dream Interpretation Center in Montreal in 1997. She has been a lecturer for the Counselling students at Concordia University in Montreal since 2005. Her interest in dreams stems from her early experience in Freudian analysis where dream work was the primary tool. She later studied at The Gestalt Counselling and Training Center Certificate Program in Montreal, and Adlerian principles with Dr. Leo Gold of The Alfred Adler Institute in New York. She has been a member of The International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD) since 1997, and was a Board of Directors member from 2005-2009.
Combining insight from Freud, Adler, Jung and Perls Gestalt Physchology, her focus is introducing the general public to the value of decoding their dreams. She does this by teaching easy-to-grasp ideas about how to uncover the solutions to our current issues that appear in our dreams every night.
She has appeared on over 150 radio shows across America and has been featured on numerous TV networks. Layne has written articles for magazines both in Canada and The US. Layne is also well known at Rancho La Puerta Spa in Mexico.
Layne has two book, Have a Great Dream: Book #1; The Overview: Decoding Your Dreams To Discover Your Full Potential and Have a Great Dream: Book 
#2; A Deeper Discussion: Decoding Your Dreams To Discover Your Full Potential. These two books show you how to analyze, evaluate and map your own dreams for the clues that will truly set you free, and bring you closer to what you really desire in life. Oftentimes, you are stuck in a situation because you are continuing to react based on the beliefs and habits that were instilled in you from childhood. Lifelong patterns are your default behavior. This is often your “shadow” side holding back out of fear. But your dreams show you new possibilities—new ways to respond—that would never have occurred to you under the old paradigm, opening you up to your full creative expression–unlimited by past repetitive constructs. Thus, as you reach for and act on these new alternatives, you can discover and experience your true and full potential.
