Film Lens

The Waking Dream
The Waking Dream focuses on Colette Aboulker Muscat's unique practice of Waking Dream, which she has taught for over forty years in Jerusalem. Each session involves sharing a short story that leads to a waking dream experience, which Muscat believes is as impactful as a night dream. This method is characterized by its brevity and the element of surprise, both of which Muscat considers crucial to the therapeutic process. Through vivid mental imagery generated during these sessions, individuals are encouraged to confront personal problems or illnesses. Muscat's approach combines storytelling with psychological healing, making it a distinctive method in the realm of therapy.
