Here she and Dawson discuss:

• Linda’s background
• The only person who can tell you what your dream means to you is you
• Dream incubation
• The collective unconscious
• GAIA: Guided Active Imagination Approach
• Gathering of resources before working with a PTSD dream
• First question: Would you like to talk about having had the dream?
• Second question: Would you like to work on this dream?
• Ask: “Is there anything inside the dream that might have been a resource?”
• The ability to turn to a scary figure and ask for information
• Trauma can be soul-shattering, producing dissociation
• The goal to return to state of wellbeing
• World events have produced trauma in many untraumatized people
