Meaning of dreamworker | Babel Free

Noun CEFR C1
/ˈdɹiːmˌwɜːkə/

Definitions

A person who attempts to discover the deeper meaning that might be contained in his or her own, or another person's, dreams.

Examples

“Taking elements commended to his notice by some similarity of function or feeling, the dream-worker combines them in one image or act.”
“This large coffee-table publication is designed to satisfy the emotional and aesthetic rather than the intellectual needs of the serious dreamworker. And, in this respect, it succeeds.”
“Contemporary methods of dream interpretation have changed a great deal in the last few decades. Most effective therapists and dream specialists no longer rigidly follow the seminal, but often limiting, doctrines of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, or Fritz Perls. Today's leading dreamworkers have taken the best from Freud, Jung, Medard Boss, and recent sleep and dream research to synthesize new and fresh approaches.”
“Filled with a backlog of unformulated and unresolved problems, the memories of your dreams may seem like a confused, tangled web of interlinking events and social relationships. If this is so, if you are suffering from 'dream indigestion', it may be right for you to seek out a dreamworker, or fellow dreamers who will help you to unravel your dreams and reach a constructive conclusion.”
