Aim and purpose
Dreams contain clues of the problems experienced, and emotional concerns about the past, present or future and act as a mirror of individuals鈥� waking life experiences. Most of the studies have shown that particular dream themes can be seen by a particular group of people sharing similar life stages, events or psychological problems.
The purpose of this study was to explore the dream themes of first-year MA counselling and psychotherapy students who were in similar experiential processes in terms of career development.
Design and methodology
- The participants of this study consisted of 32 first-year MA counselling students.
- The thematic analysis method based on the interpretive qualitative paradigm was employed and the underlying meaning themes of the 78 written dream reports were examined with an inductive approach.
- This study was approved by the University of Leeds Ethics Committee.
