“I grew up among books. They were everywhere in our Moscow apartment,
and I had an easy access to hundreds of volumes. When I was little, I’d often
pick a book that was rather strange for a little kid to read. One of such books
was Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece by N.A. Kun. First published in
1914, since then the book became a classic. I was really drawn to the book and
stories it was telling. Of course, I had no idea at that time that dreams often
speak to us in a language of myths and fairy tales. But surly that was the
beginning of my dream journey.”
“I come from a family of engineers. I was a math major in high
school, and a computer science major in college. After college software
development became my trade that I’ve been practicing for many years. However, about
after ten years into my software development career, I felt that something was
missing. I began exploring Yoga and transpersonal psychology. Psychology seminars
with Dr. Stanislav Grof, Holotropic Breathwork sessions with psychotherapist Ted
Riskin, were among many things that led me to a deeper understanding of human
nature. Yet, there was still something else that I felt was really my calling.”
“I realized my what my calling was when my wife said that I should
joining a group where dreams were discussed. See if I liked it or not. I did, reluctantly.
I discovered during the first meeting of the group that all of the previous experiences
– reading myths, getting and honing analytical skills as a software developer, Yoga
and transpersonal psychology – were really meant to be used as a preparation
and tools for working with dreams. I was instantly addicted to dream work.”
“I constantly study various modalities of
working with dreams. I’ve taken classes and seminars with such dream experts as
Robert Moss and Dr. Stephen Aizenstat. In fact, at this moment I am taking part
in a Dream Tending Certificate program created by Dr. Aizenstat, which is ‘a groundbreaking
program that taps into our Dream State through powerful applications to creativity
and innovation.’ I also believe in giving back to the dream community, and participate
in a bi-weekly dream group organized by Gwynne Mayer, a psychotherapist with
over fifty years of experience. I am one of the main contributors of dream analysis
for the group members.”
