Study Group Description
Dreaming is a common experience. Everyone dreams many times per night, adding up to five years of dreaming in a typical lifetime. Research says that dreaming is essential to mental and physical health.
But can those sometimes-bizarre images mean something?
We invite you to join our new 10-week Study Group. You will learn how to understand your dreams using a Christian approach and a spiritual worldview. It is an opportunity for you to discover the treasure buried in your dreams. You can benefit from the divine counsel, instruction, and guidance they contain.
We will introduce you to some valuable concepts, principles, and practices of dream work; biblical purposes of dreams; and dream work strategies & techniques. We will share our personal experience with dreams, and give you an opportunity to use the strategies and techniques in dream-sharing breakout groups.
Since ancient times people have considered dreams to be important for their lives—until rationalism became the predominant Western worldview. We will review the place of dreams through the centuries and present the four pillars supporting the Christian use of dreams today.
Cultivating the art of listening to dreams requires learning a new language, the language often used by Jesus: symbolic and metaphorical communication. We will discuss how this heavenly language was used in the Bible and why God often communicates His sacred truths this way.
Dreams began in the very heart of God. The spiritual discipline of dream work is grounded firmly in the Bible, writings of the Church Fathers, Christian worldview, and historic evidence through the ages.
This KMI-501 group charts a pathway for people who want to safely adventure into the exciting world of finding God’s wisdom and knowledge in their dreams.
Study group components
This interactive study group consists of weekly Study Notes, Assignments, and Supplemental Resources. Using Zoom, you will participate in weekly zoom sessions, with small group breakouts.
