The “Dream Group” began in 2000 and continued monthly until 2013. At the request of some former students from his popular Dream class at the William Alanson White Institute, Paul agreed to lead a small private group. The group met once a month in New York City. Each month, a member would present a dream—either one of their own or of a patient, although most often it was the member’s own dream. Once, a member shared a dream in which the whole group went to the beach together. The group decided to make the dream a reality and met in Coney Island for the day, ending in Brighton Beach for Russian food. The group ended when Paul discontinued driving to NYC from Stockbridge, MA (he had already stopped teaching his weekly Dream class at the Institute). Members recall the group as one of the best experiences in their Institute life.
As noted in the Editors’ introduction, Paul also taught about dreams in the NYU Postdoctoral Program (see Orfanos, this issue), and privately, in Stockbridge.
Here are fond remembrances from some of the group members from the William Alanson White group:
