#101 – Lana Kunštek – Dreams as Windows Into the Unconscious - Embodied Spirituality

Today you’ll meet Lana Kunštek, a body-oriented and mindfulness-centered psychotherapist from Croatia, now living in Copenhagen. Lana works with embodied spirituality and facilitates dream groups. If you are like Lana says "a dreamer" yourself, you’ll probably enjoy this conversation. I (Mannah) love working with dreams, and my only regret is that I’m not able to translate the whole thing—some parts just remain unconscious to my waking self. Therefore, what we’re talking about is a window, probably not full access, and how to make that window even more clear. Here's what we explore: – Living in the imaginative realm – Body-oriented psychotherapy – The never-ending path of therapeutic training – Letting each client teach you how to meet them – Every person is a mystery – Recurring dreams and what they ask of us – The impulse of the dream character – The overall emotional tone of the dream – Archetypes and symbols that speak through dreams – The dream matrix – Being shifted by someone else’s dream – Feeling guided by dreams – How dreams are often direct and unmistakably clear – Dreams that bring up shadow material – How to get closer to what a dream symbol means to you – The question: are we dreaming, or are we being dreamt? – Not every dream carries the same weight – All dream characters as aspects of yourself – Integrating dreams into daily life – How to interpret a dream that could easily be misunderstood – Endless therapy trainings — and the lie that says you’re not enough without them – Lana's storytelling (soon to be published?) also emerging from the dream realm – The importance of not forcing oneself – Give the work your commitment and it will grow – Commit to your soul every single day – The importance of how the energy moves – Medicine or poison? Depends on the day I hope you enjoy enjoy this conversation LINKS Find Lana here: https://www.therapywithlana.com/ https://www.instagram.com/therapywithlana/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/lana-kun%C5%A1tek/ Mannah here: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/
