Intentional dreaming has been used to solve life's problems. "Embodiment: Creative Imagination in Medicine, Art and Travel" sets out Robert Bosnak's practice of embodied imagination and demonstrates how he actually works with dreams and memories in groups. Through detailed case studies, professionals and students will find thorough discussions of: ways to flashback into dreams and memories while in a hypnagogic state of consciousness; the practice of embodied imagination and its profound physical effects; psyche as a self-organizing multiplicity of selves; the nature of subjectivity; the body as a theatre of sense memories; the limitation of reason; the process of dissociation; and, the treatment of trauma. This book discusses a variety of techniques which may be applied by health professionals to their patients and clients. It will also be of particular interest to Jungian and relational psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and clinical psychologists, as well as to artists, actors, directors, writers and other individuals who wish to explore the creative imagination.
