Dr. Jeremy Taylor, a Unitarian Universalist minister, has worked with dreams for over 35 years. He blends the values of spirituality with an active social conscience and a Jungian perspective. In the late 60's, while doing community organizing in Oakland, CA, and in the early 70's, as Director of Marin County (CA) Headstart, he discovered that dreams were a tool for both personal and social change. Since then Jeremy has taught thousands how to work with their dreams in groups and individually. He teaches at several seminaries of the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, CA, and many colleges and universities in the area. He has led workshops in Europe, Canada, Mexico, Peru, China and Korea, where he teaches lay and clergy how to work with their dreams. In the early 80's he was one of four founders of the Association for the Study of Dreams and served as its president 1994-95. He is the author of three books on dreams which explore dream group process, symbolism, mythology, and Jungian archetypes: : Dream Work (1983); Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill (1992); and The Living Labyrinth: Exploring Archetypal Images in Myths, Dreams and the Symbolism of Waking Life (1998). All have been translated into several languages. Jeremy has worked with students, faculty, doctors, nurses, teachers, prisoners, business people, artists, religious and lay people, adults, and children all over the world, and has found we all speak the same language in our dreams. He continues to be utterly fascinated by the way we integrate ourselves through our nighttime dreams He has a D. Min. (Doctor of Ministry), M.A. (in American Studies) and B.A. (in Sociology). He was ordained as a Unitarian Minister in 1980 (by the Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarians). Starr King School for the Ministry gave him an honorary STD (Doctor of Sacred Theology) in 1999 in recognition of his lay ministry with dreams. He's on the Advisory Board of the Atlanta Jung Society (Atlanta, GA), director of the Institute for Archetypal Studies and Projective Dream Work at Wisdom University (in San Francisco); founder and director of the Marin Institute for Projective Dream Work; associate director of the Chaplaincy Institute for Interfaith Ministry, director of their Dream Work Certification Program and professor of Archetypal Studies
