Dreams and Visions of the Deceased: A Workshop in Understanding Bereavement and End-of-Life Experiences

October 28, 2022

There is a lack of knowledge in understanding dreams and visions of the deceased during bereavement and at end-of-life. New research in the area has found them to be common, but this research has yet to be incorporated in educational training in school or in our workplace here. Additionally, there is a lack of competence in knowing how it applies to a client’s life, and how to respond to a client who shares these experiences. The lack of competence and knowledge limits the support that can be provided to our clients (caregivers, bereaved, and those at end-of-life).
