DREAM SEMINARS
2026
“I am starting to feel bad for anyone who is not partaking in the Dream Seminars...”
“spaces at the limit of reason itself, those spaces occupied by the infant, the psychotic, the computer hacker, the dreamer, and the visionary: cultural outer spaces.” - Elizabeth Grosz

“There is no transition: you wake up in the dream in the other world, on the other side; there is no passport, no visa but this extreme familiarity with extreme strangeness.”
“The task of dream interpretation is to unravel what the dream-work has woven.”

DREAM
Especially in these AI days, the dream is respite.
To study the dream is to study creation, imagination, bewilderment, madness, source, and freedom.
No prior experience is necessary.
Generative and free-associative in nature, our monthly workshops will delve deep, with each class focusing on a particular dream fragment from literature, film, or psychoanalysis.
We’ll see where the dream takes us, entering its world.
These workshops will create lasting and meaningful conversations.
Registration for the dream seminars is now closed.
“...dreams...don’t say where they come from. In a certain respect, they escape censorship, opposing all power with an unquenchable language of truth.”
