THESE ARE THE WORDS OF KENNETH KOU, AFTER THE SECOND ULLMAN DREAM GROUP CLASS OF THE SEMESTER AT TUNGHAI UNIVERSITY, IN WHICH THE GROUP WORKED WITH HIS DREAM (ITS HIS FIRST TIME EVER DOING A DREAM): During the first weeks Ullman Dream Group class I attended, I got a sense of what the class was about, with everyone keeping track of their dreams, sharing them and helping the dreamers decipher what their inner self was trying to communicate through these dreams. So naturally, when I myself had an interesting dream the second week, I tried at first to interpret the dream myself, but with no luck. The dream was so fantastically random and abstract, that there was no way I could make any connection to what all this could mean to me. But after a couple hours of talking deeply about myself and my life with the teacher and fellow classmates, I came up with the meanings to one scene after another in my dream, often without much effort at all. All this time I was thinking so hard to try and make sense of all this, when the answer was actually quite straightforward and simple. I was amazed. No amount reasoning nor comparisons could do me any good in the past. After wondering about it for awhile, I think I now know why. All this effort and hard work we are used to in our daily lives, in this case mentally, actually defeats itself when trying to understand things of this nature. Understanding the core of what you really want and who you really is much more intuitive than trying to work through it in a logical manner. If one tries or thinks too hard, it is just not natural anymore. Through this experience I think the best method for me is to clear my mind of all the mental noise from external sources, and instead just relax and try to be truthful with myself. From a much broader perspective, I think the world of dreams is a field that logic and the sciences cant really penetrate (at least not yet), but instead requires human wisdom, mindfulness, along with a certain frankness with oneself and about ones situation. – Kenneth Kou
