FAQ
Our FAQ page covers all topics concerning dreamworkers.org. This includes the website, radio show, courses and workshops, podcasts, and more.
Can others interpret my dreams?
Yes, and NO! Our philosophy is that only YOU can accurately interpret your dreams. However a dream analyst can help guide you through your interpretation. In addition depending on the dreamwork needed, they can help role play with you. Some feel that symbols are universal. Although we do not think so, we do feel that some symbols may be similar meanings for a majority of people within the same culture. Therefore some interpretations done by others may be somewhat accurate. We do not feel this is the best approach and you should always interpret your own dreams even with the help of a dream guide.
Can I use a dream dictionary?
Only use a dream dictionary if you are stuck. We do not feel that symbols are universal. For example, dreaming of riding naked on a horse can mean freedom for some, while horrible fear for others. Context also comes into play. For example riding on a horse along the beach may mean one thing, but through a dark forest another. Even riding along the beach can mean different things, especially if you are afraid of water.
Why use a dream journal?
Using a dream journal has 2 benefits. First, it tells your brain you WANT to remember your dreams and that you are looking for your dreams to help you in life. To guide you and give you the answers to questions that are on your mind at that time. Second, it allows you to revisit dreams, to see patterns in dreams, and to aid in interpreting dreams more easily. Third, it gives you a timeline and allows you to watch as your prophetic dreams come true. It also allows you to see the decisions you have made in your life and why, and how they affected your past and future.
Why do you charge for your newsletter and interpretations?
Our mailing list is free. If you all you want to do is keep informed about DreamWorkers.org, you can join our mailing list. However to receive our dreamworking newsletter, we used to charge a modest subscription fee of $19.97 a year (NOW FREE) for the online version, and $29.97 for the print version. This newsletter is packed with hints, tips, how-to’s, and informative information about dreamworking and related topics. It is a professional publication and is more than worth the price. In addition, you get all the other member benefits as listed on our products page.
Some sites do offer “free interpretations”. However, those sites do not offer interactive interpretations. It is this difference that necessitates our having to charge for our services. We are a professional organization and our guides offer top-notch interactive dreamworking consulting services.
Do I get a certificate when I become certified and is it valid?
Is it valid is always a tough question. There is no legislative body for dreamworking. Anyone can do it. There are no laws and therefore the certification is not like that of a psychologist or doctor. It is more like
that of a certified A+ Networking Certificate in the computer industry. It means you have been trained and have the knowledge to do the job. You can work in the computer industry without the certificate, but employers like to see you have certifications. The same goes for those who are coming to you for dreamworking. Anyone can claim the ability to help interpret dreams. Your certificate shows you have been formally trained and know how to do it properly.
What can I do with my certification?
Advertise yourself as a dreamworker. Start a dreamworking group. Add this as a service to your existing credentials (hypnotist, counselor, psychologist, etc…) or perhaps just have fun and do it as a hobby. In any
case, dreamworking alone will not make you rich, especially in the short term. But as you get to be known, and if there is a call for it in your area, then you can make money and have fun while doing it. Especially if it
is a service you provide with other services.
Can I get a job with these credentials?
I am not sure what type of job you could get as a dreamworker without a degree in something else. You would really need to start your own business. Many share offices with other holistic workers such as hypnotists, massage therapists, counselors, reiki practitioners, etc… Someone who works with dreams would be a welcome addition to any such office.
I am a psychologist. Why do I need your course?
You don’t! You have everything you need to work with your clients and their dreams. BUT, if you want to offer your clients the best dreamworking experience, becoming certified as a dreamworker from DreamWorkers.org can provide:
- Additional certification and education (nothing beats more knowledge)
- Perhaps shows you different ways of looking at dreamworking
- Sometimes provides information you probably didn’t learn about dreamworking from your psychology courses (many disregard holistic approaches to therapy)
- Keeps you up to date
- Refreshes your memory about dreams and dreamworking
- Can show you some techniques you never thought of before or weren’t taught
- Opens up a new line of clientele that you may not have pursued
How will these courses and workshops help my child in school?
In many ways. Children need to not only learn the “facts” from their teachers, but also how to focus on their work, be creative, learn, and how to think outside the box. Our programs accomplish all that and more.
Are your fees affordable?
Yes, however we can not control the fees our “partners” are charging. Our fees vary based on class, location, subsidized funds from other organizations, and more. Your educational investment is used not only to pay our staff, but to provide the tools needed for the courses and to support our various community service projects taken on by our members. Please contact the group that gave you this information.
