In this captivating documentary film, Dr. Stephen Aizenstat and four noted experts reach deeply into the mystery of our dream life, revealing a vast, untapped source of meaning, tenderness and understanding. Aizenstat believes the unique perspective and intelligence found in dreams can help us to better access and understand our personal stories and the stories of the world – the hidden stories being played out far below day-to-day life. By paying attention to these stories, we gain access to a resource we may have long forgotten or ignored. A trained clinical psychologist and co-founder of Pacifica Graduate Institute, Aizenstat grounds his method in the work of Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, James Hillman and Marion Woodman. And Aizenstat gores further, also incorporating ancient beliefs about dreams held by indigenous peoples. The result is an innovative and artistic approach that allows the images in dreams to come to life, and bring forth their unique messages.
