| “What Ms.
Turner is proposing seems to me to be a project worthy of support. Every
person dreams, every night, and there is compelling evidence that dreams
help each individual consolidate information gathered during the day’s
activities, aid us in our attempts to update our models of the world,
and help us both conceptualize and face our fears. Ms. Turner’s central narrative notion – to base her (workshops) around the search for meaning typifying one woman’s life – appears very appropriate with regards to dreams which, in successive episodes, track and guide individual psychological development. The story of the hero, which Ms. Turner plans to utilize, is in fact a story of individual development, in the face of complexity, threat and fear.” |
