The Fern Monster: A One-Session Cure with Dreamwork

Abstract: This article describes a single session of dreamwork with a 13-year-old boy using transactional analysis and some Jungian theory along with action methods. The client presented a dream that had frightened him, worked for an hour to make sense of it, left with insight into an inner conflict, and changed his behavior accordingly.

“…Among the most active authors of the 1970s and 1980s, I here mention the contributions of Goulding and Goulding (1979), Jongeward and Scott (1984), Thomson (1987), James and Jongeward (1971/1996), Erskine (1997), Scilligo (1990), and Novellino (2012). In recent years it has been Bowater (2001, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013; Bowater & Sherrard, 1999, 2011) who has provided the greatest contribution to the analysis of dreams in her comparison of the transactional analytic experience with the most recent research studies on dreams in both the neuroscientific and psychodynamic fields.…”

“…Then in 1999 I began writing a series of short articles, two of them cowritten with Evan Sherrard (1999 and 2011), advocating that transactional analysts use dreamwork as a continuing part of their work, whether in psychotherapy or counseling. Bowater and Sherrard (1999) and Bowater (2001Bowater ( , 2008Bowater ( , 2009 specifically addressed the value of using nightmares for diagnosis and script change. Bowater (2003) provided an overview of applying transactional analysis to clients' dreams and described how a client, in the context of a supportive group, used two dreams-one a lifelong recurring dream, the other a brief vision-to achieve dramatic script change (Bowater, 2010).…”

In all the casework cited, the process used for interpretation involved respectful inquiry by the therapist and full collaboration with the dreamer to arrive at a resolution.…”
