What Is Dream Interpretation in Coaching?

Dream interpretation in coaching empowers the individual and helps them make sense of the dream themselves with the coach being a sounding board who also probes and prods what is coming up from the subconscious in a guided exercise that goes deeper each round. It’s fun and a tool that can be used always. Coaching dream interpretation differs from channelling or interpreting the dream for the client. In this method, the coach does not assume the role of an expert dream decoder, but instead holds space and reflects meaning back to the client through open-ended questions and insight-based dialogue (Hill, 2012). This empowers the client to uncover symbolic and emotional threads unique to their life context and current challenges, which aligns with the broader principles of coaching that focus on autonomy, presence, and personal insight (Stober & Grant, 2006). Studies show that dream work can support emotional regulation, promote insight, and increase psychological flexibility when explored collaboratively rather than interpreted externally (Pesant & Zadra, 2004).
