NIGHTLY THEATRE
Below the waterline of our daily consciousness lives a world of images. While we sleep, 'something' in us weaves dreams of this material... Often enigmatic, impressive, disturbing, crazy, poetic and shocking stories. Everything is permitted in our creative night theatre. But what are dreams actually? And what do these strange images want to tell us? And why are they so difficult to understand for the dayly mind?
EGO AS A FILTER
Every dream will tell you something you didn't know yet, but need to assimiltate, in order to grow to a higher point of view. Dreams are complementary to our day-consciousness - where 'Ego & Reason Ltd.' is in charge of our everyday life. Without this protective function we would be at the mercy of cosmic chaos. Imagine every subconscious message reporting itself; the equivalent of a million emails a day! We need a filter in between, a healthy ego. Only... how do you get to all those hidden treasures when you do need them?
THE DREAM MAKER
Our inner 'Dream Maker' takes care of that. From the great sea of symbolic images, this unconscious, psychic helper creates a selective story - especially for you. Something you need to eventually become a complete human being. Carl Jung, the well-known depth psychologist, discovered that all dreams have a purpose or 'telos': reintegration with the great Self. By surfacing and integrating your shadow sides, desires, talents, spiritual and creative potentials from your dreams, your awareness will expand. A lot of psychic energy is stored under the waterline, ready for use! And guess what, your Dream Maker knows exactly how much you can handle.
When the ego is your only life advisor, you'll keep on rumbling on in old tracks. Often resulting in feelings of dissatisfaction, emptyness, stress, or physical symptoms. By taking the advice of your unconscious to heart you create more balance, purpose and joy. Dreamwork is the safe and natural way, because you are always ready for the message.
DREAMS ARE MEDICINE
Every night your Dream Maker smuggles a salutary message for you across the border between sleep and wakefulness—beyond the rational checkpoints of the mind. Do not let it slip away. When you wake up, briefly write down what you've experienced in a dream diary, before the precious medicine story has evaporated. But that's not all... Your unconscious seeks contact!
"An uninterpreted dream is like an unopened letter," says the Talmud. Only when we can read the letters of the unconscious, a relationship with Psyche and our invisible side is developed. What has not been lived till now, what was avoided or brushed aside? What can be released? Together we can decipher the advice of your unconscious. So that you slowly become bigger than your problems.

Testimonial
'I had a recurring troubling dream about my father, who died suddenly when I was 5. During the session I saw how my feelings were petrified', just like the bathroom tiles in the dream. Shortly afterwards I had a liberating dream about being driven to the sea - one of Marie's provided water symbols - by a friendly driver who asked where I wanted to go. This put everything in a new perspective. My feeling is flowing again, I can finally live my life... What a gift!' (Sharon)

ABOUT ME
I live in the Netherlands (born 1962) as a writer, art director and designer (see also studiomei.nl). After the Rietveld Art Academy, I settled in Amsterdam as a creative with my own studio. As a visionary story writer, artist and mother, I feel like a 'citizen of two worlds' – the outer and inner. I found my deepest treasures in the esoteric life, in Jung, in kabbalah, the arts, music, mythology and inner alchemy. My lifelong 'career' as an ardent dreamer finally made me embark on Jungian Dream School - where I met therapist Katie Segdswick, my dreamwork buddy. Dreamwork connects the worlds in a very practical and special way – honouring human Psyche as a living and wise treasure. In short...
I am very much looking forward meeting you!
