Drs. Amy & Arnold Mindell: The Meaning of Life and The Dreaming Process

a+aUNU2015Excellence Reporter: Drs. Mindell, what is the meaning of life?

Drs. Mindell: What we know for sure, is that each person must find her, his or their own meaning of life in their big dreams.

So therefore, “Trust in your Dreaming Process”, as it appears individually to each of us. This process reveals either an ever-changing meaning of life, or one main theme.

Our experience with thousands of people in individual therapy, relationship work, large groups, organizational and international  conflict is this:

There is a momentary meaning of life that depends upon the given situation. However the larger and more constant meaning seems to be connected with our first memories and dreams.
