An Indigenous Approach to Dreams. Presented by David Cumes, MD. Another event by JUNG SOCIETY OF UTAH. Indigenous people believe that dreams are scripted by our ancestors to instruct us, and are every bit as real as the waking state. In South Africa, sangomas (shamans) use dream interpretation to make diagnoses for a patient’s waking life based on this ancestral instruction. Because dreams are most often expressed in the subtle language of metaphor, and are also vulnerable to pollution by trickster spirits, the sangomas’ ability to interpret dreams makes it a mastered skill. Learning how the ancestors reach us and how to distinguish true dreams from those scripted by dark spirits, opens us up to a source of wonder and sometimes even life-saving information. LOCATION: this event at the Downtown City Library (210 East 400 South, SLC) @ 7PM. Social hour before and after. jungutah/
