Our dreams, including our nightmares, are our own unique languages that can form a bridge between our deeper conscious selves and our waking lives. Experiences that established trauma in our bodies take on a life of their own as feedback loops. In her book PTSDreams: Transform Your Nightmares from Trauma Through Healing Dreamwork, Linda Schiller provides unique and powerful ways of exploring dreams in order to end post-traumatic stress, transforming it into post-traumatic spiritual growth.
Dreamwork has been a part of my life since I chose dream interpretation as a high school science fair project, way back in the late 1980s. Over the years, dream study became a hobby that encompasses other interests of mine: foreign languages, drawing and sculpting, meaningful coincidences, and the practice of active listening within conversations. Linda’s book was published at exactly the right time for me, as I was barely six months into volunteering in Ukraine and in search of ways I can best help people here.
Reading PTSDreams feels like sitting in a cozy café with a dear friend who is full of compassion and guidance. The gentle wisdom contained in Linda's book is perfect for any dreamer! Her exercises and stories will benefit anyone looking to improve their lives.
Here is a short and powerful example of an experience I have had applying Linda’s GAIA protocol to a dream I recorded in March 2021:
The standout character in this dream is a circus artist. He is performing a quick-change routine while walking on a tight-wire. My Dream Self is working as an assistant to the artist. There is a moment in the performance when there is a slight malfunction in the strings my Dream Self is manipulating for the changes of the performer's outfits. A little later in the dream, I feel as if my wrists and ankles have fishing lines tied around them and some invisible entity is dragging me around my actual in-real-life bedroom floor.
By embodying the character of The Circus Performer - over a year away from the dream - I experienced the "aha!" of realizing that quick changes don’t always go according to plan, seeking help from other people is a strength, and that instead of feeling scared within a perspective of being tied up and dragged around, just going along with situations that are completely out of my control can be exciting!
As of this writing, I have been in Ukraine working as a humanitarian aid volunteer for 10 months. One of the projects that I’m currently working on is the use of dream exploration with people here to help them heal from their experiences. I’m benefiting from studying lots of books on the topics of dreams and healing. My library includes Courtney Armstrong’s Rethinking Trauma Treatment, Working with Dreams and PTSD Nightmares, edited by Jacquie Lewis and Stanley Krippner, and Stanley Rosenberg’s Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve. Linda Schiller’s PTSDreams is my number one resource in the project. I feel tremendous optimism now and I’m grateful for the support that Linda provides in her writing, interviews, lectures, and social media contact.
Three of my favorite quotes from the book:
“It may be helpful to remind yourself that above all else, nightmares come to us to help us process information.”
“Dreams have a language of their own, and as we know, translation from any language into another is imperfect.“
“Dreams come to us with messages and meanings and their own internal structure and story.”
