Where Dreams and Creativity are Linked.
THE DREAMBRIDGE MISSION
The Dreambridge mission is to help people of all ages connect with their dreams and their creativity, to provide educational Dream-Arts opportunities, to expand cultural awareness of the link between dreams and creativity, and enrich the community-at-large with authentic and meaningful Dream-Arts contributions.
The figure eight symbolizes the continuum of consciousness between waking and dreaming that belongs to the experience of individuals. They each have a thread weaving through and connecting them to others in their community. At the Dreambridge, this thread is the gift of dream sharing, and Dream-Arts!
THE DREAMBRIDGE CODE OF ETHICS
We celebrate the many benefits of dreamwork, yet recognize that there are potential risks. We agree with the ethical position taken by the International Association for the Study of Dreams, in that we support an approach to dreamwork and dream sharing that respects the dreamer's dignity and integrity, and which recognizes the dreamer as the decision-maker regarding the significance of the dream.
Systems of dreamwork that assign authority or knowledge of the dream's meanings to someone other than the dreamer can be misleading, incorrect, and harmful. Ethical dreamwork helps dreamers work with their own dream images, feelings, and associations, and guides them to more fully experience, appreciate, and understand their dreams.
Every dream may have multiple meanings, and different techniques may be reasonably employed to touch these multiple layers of significance. A dreamer's decision to share or discontinue sharing a dream should always be respected and honored. The dreamer should be forewarned that unexpected issues or emotions may arise in the course of the dreamwork. Information and mutual agreement about the degree of privacy and confidentiality are essential ingredients in creating a safe atmosphere for dream sharing.
Dreamwork outside a clinical setting is not a substitute for psychotherapy, or other professional treatment, and should not be used as such.
We recognize and respect that there are many valid and time-honored dreamwork traditions. We invite and welcome the participation of dreamers from all cultures. There are social, cultural, and transpersonal aspects to dream experience. In this statement we do not mean to imply that the only valid approach to dreamwork focuses on the dreamer's personal life. Our purpose is to honor and respect the person of the dreamer as well as the dream itself, regardless of how the relationship between the two may be understood.
