For as long as I can remember,  I have been fascinated by dreams, both my own and others’.  I began keeping a dream journal in 1984, and many years later answered an ad in a Jungian society newsletter for a “dream group,”  where I could explore what my dreams might mean.  It was my first foray into a focused approach to the hidden mysteries of dreamlife. 

In 1995 I came across Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill by Jeremy Taylor, a Unitarian Minister who had gleaned a wealth of ideas from over 30 years of working with thousands of dreams shared in his classes, workshops and practice devoted to “dreamwork.”  He is one of four co-founders of the International Association for the Study of Dreams, the world’s foremost organization for the investigation of dreams and dreaming.

I brought Where People Fly to my next dream group, where I heard that Jeremy would soon be in town to offer a workshop on how we can make sense of our dreams.  I signed up at once, and haven’t looked at dreams in the same way since.  In 2001,  I was forewarned about a frightening health issue by a dream that revealed a diagnosis, prognosis and surgeon; two more dreams followed that reassured me all would be well. Dreams have proven to be a wellspring for my self-awareness … and led me to discover a capacity for helping others delve into their dreams and learn from them.

I  am certified as a Professional Dreamwork Facilitator by the Marin Institute for Projective Dreamwork, and frequently attend Haden Institute Summer Dream and Spirituality conferences in Hendersonville, NC. I am also certified as an “Online Dreamwork Facilitator” through the Unitarian Church of the Larger Fellowship. I have taught several dream workshops in the Washington, DC area – where I have helped many people “unpack” their dreams – and for over 15 years, have facilitated an ongoing dream group in the DC metro area. In addition to my interest in dreams, I am a happily married, retired chiropractor, having had a private practice in College Park, MD for 24 years. In my spare time I enjoy travel, swing dancing, listening to jazz, reading and quilting.
