Welcome to the Website of the Dream Network Aotearoa-NZ Inc. Here you can find up-to-date information about the emerging discipline of Dream Studies, and a variety of articles, reports, news items and contacts relevant to Dreamwork in NZ.Who are we?We are a group of active dreamers, mainly from the health professions, who’ve been studying the range and power of dreams for several years, and want everyone to be aware of the potential value of their dreams.What’s our base?We are inspired by the growth of the International Association for the Study of Dreams and its publications. It provides a multi-disciplinary forum for exchange of theory and practice of dreamwork, ranging across all cultures, religions and levels of research. We also link with the parallel group in Australia.What are we doing?We in DNANZ offer small dream-sharing groups, seminars, a Certificate in Applied Dreamwork (100 hours), an on-line Newsletter 5 times a year, and other events by agreement, to promote awareness of the value of dreams.This is just the beginning. Join us in the movement to grow dream awareness in NZ! |

Our Mission
Dream Network Aotearoa-NZ Inc, has been set up to promote education in NZ about the power and relevance of dreams for purposes of insight, healing, problem-solving, creativity and potential guidance in personal, inter-personal and spiritual development. We aim to be inclusive of different faiths, cultures and varieties of dreamwork, while also encouraging research and scientific investigation of dreams; and we are committed to on-going learning ourselves.Our Vision
Is to create a resource and support centre in New Zealand to provide- Basic information for members of the public who seek to explore their dreams;
- Linkage and support for dreamwork practitioners, tutors and leaders of small dream groups around NZ; and web-links to sister organizations, eg in Australia and USA;
- Notices of courses and workshops being offered by Dreamwork leaders in NZ who are grounded in both the art and science of Dreamwork;
- Profiles of professional practitioners who have done specialized training in Dreamwork (
see Dreamworkers' Profiles); - A free e-bulletin, at intervals each year, with news reports and summaries of research findings, etc. These will be derived from local presentations, and reliable sources, especially the International Association for the Study of Dreams, with which we are aligned.
Our Ethical Stance
Is based on the IASD’s Abbreviated Ethical Statement: We acknowledge the value and importance of the study of dreams, and recognize the responsibility inherent in such study and its consequent applications. We encourage our members to exemplify the highest standards of ethical behaviour in whatever involvement they may have with dreams.
Members are encouraged:
- to do their utmost to respect the rights and dignity of other persons;
- to be honest, accurate and open-minded in the presentation of information and ideas;
- to ensure privacy and confidentiality in dealing with clients, research subjects or members of the general public;

Why Dreamwork?
Did you know that we all dream every night, all of our lives? That, in fact, we spend one-twelfth of our life-time in dream-sleep? Are you curious about what you could learn from your own dreams? Historically, dreams have made major contributions to healing, spirituality, psychology, science, invention, literature, music, all the creative arts – as well as direct individual feedback to you in your personal life … if you understand the metaphor-language of dreams.DREAM BOOKS
