Abstract

Dreams are a universal experience, remembered or not remembered, believed or not believed, but with lots of complexities surrounding the understanding and interpretation. This study explores the multifaceted phenomenon of dream experiences from psychological, theological, and cultural perspectives. Using a phenomenological research design, the study engaged with twenty-five psycho-spiritual therapists in Kenya in individual interviews for fifteen, and ten others in a focused group discussion. The data collected with semi-structured interview guides for individual and group interviews were analyzed and presented narratively and thematically. The findings show that most psycho-spiritual therapists have had clients with dream concerns in therapy sessions, show understanding of dreams from psychological, theological, and cultural perspectives, and have supported dreamer clients through an integrative approach. The study proposed an integrative model that combines psychological, theological, and cultural understanding of dreams towards enhanced therapeutic outcomes that address clients' diverse needs and promote holistic healing.
