Our departed ancestors may connect with us in many forms, often through dreams or waking dream-adjacent states and experiences of “uncanny coincidences” known as synchronicities. They may be letting us know that they are still with us, or that they need something from us, or at times feel threatening as well. Our Jewish history is filled with the importance of connecting with our ancestors and with the strong dreamers in our sacred books.
Dream studies take us on a deep dive into the heart of our healing. They help us to go forward and backwards in time to connect with and to heal our ancestors, and then, along with the dream-guided action steps, pass on the healing rather than the wounds or the trauma to the next generations. This interactive discussion will explore six types of calls from our ancestors, how to respond to each one, and how to honor them and heal across time and space.
