Summer 2026 Dream Group
Explore with us
This group has started. However, if you have a group that wants to meet and would like Erika to facilitate a few sessions, please reach out to hiddendoorcoaching@gmail.com.
Our dream group will begin again in June 2026, with Zoom sessions and some in-person gatherings in Sonoma County.
New members are welcome.
This group is for people who want to make more room for dreams, images, symbols, synchronicities, and the inner life. You do not need to be an experienced dreamworker to join. You only need curiosity, openness, and a willingness to listen to your dreams.
Dreams often arrive when something in us is asking for attention.
A dream may bring a person we have not seen in years. A landscape we do not recognize. A deceased loved one. A house, a road, an animal, a door, a child, a stranger, a feeling, or a question.
Sometimes a dream feels ordinary.
Sometimes it feels urgent.
Sometimes it feels like a hidden door.
What we will explore
In this group, we will make space for dreams and the images they bring.
We will explore:
remembering and recording dreams
listening to dream images without rushing to explain them
dream tending
dream incubation
active imagination
symbolic language
synchronicities
divination as a reflective practice
the ways dreams may guide us during life transitions
The goal is not to reduce a dream to a quick interpretation.
The goal is to stay curious.
What is alive in the dream?
What feeling remains?
What image wants attention?
What might the dream be asking us to notice?
Why dreams matter
Dreams speak in a different language than ordinary waking thought.
They may use image, story, emotion, sensation, memory, symbol, and surprise. They may show us what we already know but have not yet been able to say. They may bring forward grief, fear, longing, guidance, or new possibility.
In Jungian work, dreams are not treated as meaningless. They are approached as communications from the unconscious — not always clear, not always comfortable, but often meaningful.
A dream group gives us a place to listen together.
Hearing a dream spoken aloud can change it. Having others witness the dream with care can help reveal layers we might miss alone. The group becomes a container for curiosity, respect, and discovery.
Who this group is for
This group may be a good fit if you are:
interested in dreamwork
curious about Jungian approaches
drawn to active imagination
wanting a more regular relationship with your dream life
interested in symbols, images, and synchronicity
seeking a thoughtful group space for inner work
You are welcome whether you remember dreams often or only occasionally.
Sometimes the first step is simply making room for the dream to find you.
Meeting format
We usually meet on Sunday late afternoons for Zoom sessions.
Some in-person sessions in Sonoma County will also be announced.
The group will begin in June 2026.
A note on the spirit of the group
Dreams are personal. They deserve care.
This group is not about analyzing one another or telling someone else what their dream “means.” It is about listening, wondering, reflecting, and honoring the images that arise.
We will approach dreams with respect, imagination, and the understanding that there is often more than one layer of meaning.
