Learn at your own pace: the inspiration to move this course online

I’ve been training students in dream therapy for more than two decades, first face-to-face, then internationally by phone and Skype, always one-to-one. I moved the course online to make it more accessible, so you can learn at your own pace and revisit the material as often as you need. Your twenty mentoring sessions with me are yours to book whenever suits you, whether that’s fortnightly, or whenever you need me most.

 

Entry requirements

To enter the Dream Therapy Professional Level 1 course, you need to first complete the foundational work covered in the How to Interpret Your Dreams Step-by-Step and Dream Alchemy courses.

Practising with volunteers & keeping a Course Diary

During the course you’ll work with two or three volunteers (people you choose) either face-to-face, or by Zoom (or similar), or by phone, or by a mix of these (you choose). Your volunteers – friends or friends of friends – will receive the benefits of dream therapy through working with you as you practise the techniques, and will most likely be very happy to give you testimonials and talk up your services through word of mouth when you are ready to work with paying clients.

The Course Diary gives you clear instructions on what written information to record for each of the modules. It also gives word-length guidelines. Mostly your Course Diary entries for each module will be somewhere between 500 and 1,200 words, some are much less. You will not be required to write out your volunteers’ dreams in detail for me  to read.

 

TWENTY 1:1 mentoring sessions (each an hour long) with me by Zoom

This course includes TWENTY 1:1 mentoring sessions (each an hour long) by Zoom with me. You can use your sessions to confidentially discuss your work with your volunteers, to ask questions about the course, to expand on areas you find interesting, or to help motivate, inspire, and move you through your course with accountability. The sessions are open-ended, designed to meet your individual requirements. You are also welcome to use them to explore your own dreams with me.

I live in Australia, but wherever you are in the world, in whichever time zone, I always work with you to find a convenient time for your Zoom sessions.

 

Certificate

Your certificate is awarded by me on successful completion, as evaluated by your Course Diary. If there are any sections of your Course Diary that I feel need more work, or more details, I’ll outline what you need to do to successfully resubmit. I’ll work with you to make sure you successfully complete. You will be proud of your certificate and the valuable skillsets it endorses. You can then promote your skills and services as certified by me, Jane Teresa Anderson.

 

Accreditation

The Dream Therapy Professional Level 1 certificate is individually awarded by me on successful completion, as evaluated by your Course Diary. The Dream Therapy certificate shows that you have successfully completed the coursework and gained the skills to use my dream therapy methods in your therapy work. It entitles you to state (and market) that you have successfully trained with me to use my methods in your work. 

 

Start date (begin at any time)

The course is self-paced, so you can begin at any time and take as long as you wish.

 

Access to resources

When you enrol, you’ll gain immediate access to the course and all the resources as long as you have completed the pre-requisite courses, How to Interpret Your Dreams Step-by-Step, and Dream Alchemy. There is no time limit to complete this course, and you can revisit and access all the resources as often as you wish, even after you have been awarded your certificate.

 

RECOMMENDED PACING

We recommend you take 40 weeks to complete this course.

That means about 3 hours a week (including working with your volunteer clients), plus your 20 mentoring sessions with me.

You might like to book your mentoring sessions for every other week. Or you might prefer to book when you need my help the most, or when you simply want to connect with me and talk about the course or your work with your clients or whatever is on your mind.

Some people prefer to dedicate a year to this course, and that works well too. Others take longer. Others speed through.

However you pace the course, rest assured that I will be there to support you through your Zoom sessions.

 

What people say

“There is so much I have liked about Jane Teresa as a course leader. She has a very nice and pleasant demeanour, is accommodating and feels understanding. She is a true inspiration. The course material (Dream Therapy Professional Level 1) has been rich in content and filled with lots of good exercises. Jane feels free in her way of leading by giving suggestions but at the same time encouraged me as a student to create and be free in my way of leading. I look forward to starting the next course!”
– Michaela Eriksson, Animal communicator and dream therapist, Gothenburg, Sweden

“Before I took the Dream Therapy Professional Level 1 course I started with the prerequisites. This was a challenge for me since my way of looking at dreams had to shift. My brain had to think differently and as a result I was impressed by what I gained. I was determined to learn and be open to a different approach. After analyzing my dreams I applied “Dream Alchemy” and started seeing the day to day shifts. It was comical really. I questioned how that could be! I also saw this happen when I was enrolled in the Dream Therapy Professional Level 1 course and applied what I learned with Clients. The same thing happened. They saw shifts. Awaking moments and tools to walk on their path in a more conscious way. I also value the format of the therapy. This I could apply even to my Astrology and Herbal Sessions. Asking similar questions to help a client reach a deeper understanding. Dream Therapy is the last of the 3 specialties I was looking for. It’s helped me to go further with clients. I definitely recommend the course.”
– Juliana Bishop, Medical Herbalist and Professional Astrologer, USA

“I wanted to say just how much I have enjoyed doing this course (Dream Therapy Professional Level 1). The experiences that I have had with my volunteer clients and the positive reports I have had back from them. I really feel that I am going to enjoy working in this field immensely. Thank you so much for bringing the world of dreams alive for me and for the opportunity to work in this field, I am excited for what the future holds. I will be back for the second course.”
– Diane Cruickshanks, Psychic Medium and Dream Therapist, Mooroopna, Victoria, Australia

“All three courses up to the DreamTherapy Professional Level 1 are very informative and well explained. The e-books, podcasts and Dream Academy blog are educational and helpful while studying; I would recommend going through them during a Dream Therapy Professional course – as you go along! I enjoyed the course tremendously! I appreciate Jane Teresa’s support, always being there, ready to help! I look forward to taking the Dream Therapy Professional Level 2 course. A big thank you, Jane Teressa Anderson!”
– Maria Laura Macropoulos Plytas, Psychotherapist, Athens, Greece

“I want to sincerely thank you for all that you have taught me. I’m very pleased to have the certificate (Dream Therapy Professional Level 1) and to begin helping people gain insight from the messages in their dreams.”
– Sally Burton, Spiritual Director, Redlands, California, USA

“Around nine years ago, I undertook your one-on-one dreamwork training. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned an enormous amount. I’m an EFT (tapping) practitioner and have found guiding clients to tap on acupressure points while tuning into the emotions in their dreams is quite transformative. Thank you for your advice and knowledge all those years ago. It has stayed with me all this time and is now bearing fruit.”
– Marianne Vreugdenhil, Counselling & EFT, Adelaide, Australia

“All three of your courses were wonderful! It’s amazing how simple but powerful your techniques are. My clients and I have experienced truly transformative results. I already had a copy of your Dream Alchemy book, which I read and enjoyed, but the additional videos and fieldwork were rewarding and fun. So glad I found you and your work!”
– Kim Teodori, Vibrational Sound Therapist, Tuning Insight, USA

“I’d really like to recommend Jane Teresa and her beautiful work. I have had the pleasure of taking three of her online trainings (one I have yet to complete) as well as having a private dream interpretation. I am also an avid fan of her podcast The Dream Show. As a dream worker myself, I have done a few online trainings, have read lots of books on the subject of dreams, and have listened to many people in this field, and I can honestly say that Jane Teresa has a particularly enjoyable, inspiring and accessible approach. Her courses, ranging from learning how to look at, and understand your own dreams, through to professional level trainings, are all very thorough, very clear, and full of her own infectious curiosity and energy. Jane Teresa is very encouraging, and her years of experience in dream work as well as her background in science, means that her attitude and approach to this beautiful, mysterious, powerful world, feels really balanced. I really appreciate that, and as I was going through the courses, found it very grounding and reassuring. She provides really practical steps which help to understand how a dream works, and ways in which you can get inside the imagery and the themes. There is lots of room for the broad nature of dreams in all their variety and complexity, as well as the multiple layers within them. And whilst the techniques Jane Teresa teaches are very powerful, she is never didactic or prescriptive. Another aspect I really appreciate is that Jane Teresa brings a warm and light touch to this huge subject, she often uses humour and her teaching does not feel heavy, overly intellectual, or theoretical in any way, the work is immediately useful and useable, which is very exciting.”
– Beth Forrester, Dream Worker, Tarot Reader and Artist, Gloucestershire, England
