Social Dream Sharing

Introduction to Dream Matrix / Dream Sharing

By Art Funkhouser & Dominique Lepori, from Friday to Sunday, 7:35 to 8:30 am.

Dream groups and other forms of open dream discussion are an increasingly important way of creating and sustaining community. This has been practiced among many indigenous peoples for centuries while those who have not worked with dreams are only now beginning to tap into the power that is set free when this level of openness is achieved. The focus is not on therapy (although it can be quite therapeutic) but rather on creating a safe place in which the unconscious can reveal what it wants to say, and a dialogue can ensue. During the three days of this conference, there will not be time for the full power of this way of meeting and sharing to be fully realized but participants will, at least, acquire a feeling for it.

Brief Biographies

Art Funkhouser, Doctor of Science, is a psychotherapist with a practice in Bern, Switzerland since 1981. Originally from the US where he worked as an experimental physicist, he came to Zurich in 1973 to begin his training at the C. G. Jung institute. Since 1989, he has been leading a seminar that concentrates on practicing simple tools for working with dreams from the personal unconscious, ones with no obvious archetypal/symbolic content, the so-called everyday dreams. He has been a member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams since 1994.

Dominique Lepori, MA in Economics, MSc in Psychology, Training Analyst and Supervisor Jung Institute/IAAP), Sandplay Therapist and Teaching Member (SGSST/ISST), Group Analyst (SGAZ/GAS). For around two decades she has had a private practice in Zurich as a psychotherapist for adults, children/adolescents, lecturing/training for home institutes and router programs. She has led social dreaming sessions at meetings of the IAAP.

Picture Archive

Open daily to the participants of the conference.

© 2022 Ruth Ammann Picture Archive

The picture archive of the C.G. Jung Institute Zurich comprises two exceptional collections: The C.G. Jung Collection with approx. 4500 pictures of his patients from the years 1917-1955, and the Jolande Jacobi Collection (Jung's pupil and colleague, 1890-1973) with approximately 6'500 pictures and drawings from the 40s to 70s of the 20th century.

C.G. Jung, as well as Jolande Jacobi, asked their patients to paint and draw their inner pictures. In the so-called Active Imagination, series of pictures were created as part of the therapeutic process. The C.G. Jung/Jacobi collection is unique and cannot be compared to any other collection of psychiatrists of its time. It differs from the historical art collections of psychiatric institutions both in the prerequisites of the pictorial work and in the impulse for artistic activity. The patients came to their analysts as private patients and ventured with them into the unconscious via the creation of images. The resulting series of pictures show on the one hand in an impressive way the power and effect of the method of painting from the unconscious for the individual, but on the other hand they are also important contemporary documents.

Furthermore, the archive contains extensive documentation on pictures, motifs and symbols (e.g., Jung's documentation on alchemy), as well as more recent pictorial works, together with picture series created or compiled by various analysts and artists after 1973.

Ruth Ammann, the curator of the archives, has put together an exhibition of paintings and images from the archive that have to do with emotions and feelings, and which will be shown in the picture archive and corridor located in the top floor of the Institute. She has offered to be present in the archive during the conference and everyone is encouraged to become acquainted with this impressive collection of drawings and paintings from the unconscious.
