Course Overview
In this course Bob Quinn, DAOM, L.Ac. shares the Projective Dreamwork methodology of Jeremy Taylor-- which is remarkably consistent with Chinese classical sources, most notably the Ling Shu-- and shares how to use it to unravel the medical information that is hidden in patient dreams in symbolic form. He demonstrates irrefutably, based on the Nei Jing, that dreamwork is a part of our classical tradition.
These dream images are particularly helpful in cases of complex disease such as Chronic Lyme Disease. Patient dreams can deliver important insights into diagnosis and treatment that might otherwise have been missed in the normal patient interview. In this way we become more effective practitioners.
