Using dreams to understand our life patterns Jungian psychology combines with the philosophy of mythicalism, championed by Santayana, which maintains that patterns of our lives and relationships are in effect re-enactments of ancient cultural and tribal legends, translated into the scenarios of our modern age. In coaching, clients explore parts of themselves, using the archetypal interactions of Biblical stories and of cultural-tribal lore and legends as points of reference. This is the value of dream work in coaching, because even though the substance of our dreams seems to have no relationship to the events of our day-to-day lives; through the symbolism of dreams which is also the symbolism of tribal lore and of Bible stories, they do. Copyright (c) 2009 Dave Smart Dave Smart, the lead coach for Transcendence Coaching and Mentoring, has had extensive education and experience in coaching, and as an initiate in certain mystery schools he has studied the legends and symbolism of various tribal societies. "Legends quite similar to one another often pop up in cultures separated continents apart", he says. If you find recurring incidents being the "story of your life" and want to change that; then coaching, dream work, and learning about how these incidents tie in to tribal legends, is for you.
