Jeremy Taylor’s Dreamwork Toolkit

Outline of the group process:

If you wish to have an opportunity to share a dream, I put your name on a piece of paper, place it in the bowl and pull a name for the first dream to be worked. We work that dream for approx. 45-50 minutes, then take a short break and pull another name and work that dream for the last 45-50 minutes of the group. It’s a wonderful way to share dreams as everyone connects from the comfort of their home and everybody’s dream becomes everybody’s dream!

Conference code provided with paid registration

*Zoom is a free online video conferencing system similar to Skype, however, provides more versatility and more stable connectivity. For more info, please email billie@wakeuptoyourdreams.com

About Billie

In 1996, I was on a soul’s quest, seeking something that would enthuse me and give me a sense of belonging and purpose. During my spiritual journey, I came upon Dr. Ron Masa, who invited me to join his dream group. I ended up becoming a permanent fixture of the group for the next five years! I was enthralled as to how each dreamer, regardless of their age, gender, race or socioeconomic status, found helpful guidance through a deeper understanding of their dreams.

In 2000, I attended a Jeremy Taylor workshop, which opened my eyes to the gentle power of the projective method of dreamwork. I witnessed how by using the “if it were my dream” format, all of us began to communicate in an egalitarian and empathetic way. Every dream became everybody’s dream. I had an epiphany that weekend realizing, not only are the dreams healing for us as individuals, but the compassionate sharing between a group with the common purpose of a deeper understanding of our dreams can ultimately be healing for the entire planet.

In 2002, I had a dream titled “Dream Camp” which inspired me to create a workshop centered around dreamwork and including other activities such as yoga, art and music, with all of us staying onsite getting to know one another throughout the weekend…sort of like camp! In August of 2003, the Dreamwork Retreat was born and is still going strong. Over the years, the retreats have blossomed into an annual event with a community of dreamers from all over the country, many of whom look forward to attending each and every time. In honor of the tenth anniversary of the retreats, in August 2013, I created another special event, “Waking the Dreamer Within” an inspirational weekend dedicated to dreams, art, poetry, music and authentic expression. http://wakingthedreamerwithin.com/

UPDATE: Sadly, Jeremy left this physical world, January 3th, 2018, just a few weeks before his 75th birthday and only three days after the passing of his beloved wife, Kathryn Taylor, a formidable dreamworker and talented artist as well.

Also, here is a link to a touching and very comical description of what happened with the moving of Jeremy’s enormous and rather weighty library:
