In this conversation, Toko-pa, a celebrated dream worker and author, introduces her unique approach to dream analysis through the 'Courtship Method.' Should you approach your dreams like a lover? This method emphasizes treating dreams as living beings with their own desires, rather than mere symbols to be interpreted. 'What does my dream long for?' asks Toko Pa. She discusses the keys to this method, including presence, curiosity, reflection, and synthesis, and illustrates these concepts with a case study of a dream involving a Catholic church. She also explores the importance of rituals in dream work, the connection between dreams and synchronicity, and the influence of Sufi perspectives on dreaming. The conversation concludes with insights into the evolution of Toko-pa's dream school and her ongoing work in the field of dream analysis.

Toko Pa established her own dream school in 2001 based on her union and Sufi background with 100,000 dreamers coming out of her training. She has just released her latest book, The Dreaming Way, which has received the 2025 Nautilus Award for Personal Growth. You can find Toko Pa's work and other books here https://toko-pa.com/
