Although a potentially helpful therapeutic tool, dream interpretation or dream work is only used occasionally in most forms of psychotherapy. Despite an interest from clinicians and clients alike in using dreams within therapy, many therapists feel unprepared to attend to their clients' dreams. The main goals of this article are to make clinicians aware that integrating dreams into their clinical practice is both accessible and potentially valuable and to allow them to make an informed decision as to what role they want dream work to play in therapy. The paper begins with a brief overview of some of the more common approaches to dream work. The literature on the usefulness and effectiveness of the clinical use of dreams is then reviewed. Finally, based on the integration of the clinical and empirical literature, several guidelines for conducting dream work are presented.
