Introduction to Dream Analysis Class

Principles established by the late C. G. Jung allow us to better understand just what a dream is attempting to tell us about ourselves. On Saturday, January 7 from 2 to 3:30pm, Carolyn V. Sundstrom, LPC, LP, will instruct an Introduction to Dream Analysis class at the Qi Gong for Healing Center in Warren. The class will focus on looking at the constituent parts of the dream, gleaning the dreamer’s associations to the various dream figures, and noting how the dreamer felt while dreaming the dream.

After a brief introduction, participants will examine a short, well-known fairy tale to elucidate these principles regarding dream interpretation. This provides an opportunity to see how others react to the same material, as well as use the exercise to explore Jungian concepts and principles. Students will work on typical motifs in dreams such as the repetitive dream, nightmares, flying or falling dreams, etc., to understand how they may begin to interpret the intricacies of dream analysis. Most dreamers will find motifs and themes being repeated with subtle and not-so-subtle variations as they begin to more consciously attend to their dreams.

Carolyn V. Sundstrom is a graduate of the C. G. Jung Institute of New York, and has been in private practice since 1994. Location: Qi Gong for Healing Center, 67 Mountain Boulevard, Warren. Contact Carolyn Sundstrom at [email protected] for more details.

Dream Analysis News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
