You are rowing a boat on a river somewhere in Africa and
feel very happy and full of life until your boat slows down. You see a
village but no people and suddenly you find yourself stuck.
Have you experienced something like this in your dreams?
If yes, then the dream may have something to do with the new project
that you are handling which is nearing completion and you find losing
energy, says a new book `Dreams and their Interpretation' by Dr Francis
A Menezes, of Indian Association for Study of Dreams.
The dreamer manager here wanted to do everything himself
without involving other people in his project(indicated by the village
with no people). The dream motivated him to interact with people and to
involve them in his Projects, Dr Menezes says.
The volatile environment in which executives have to
work often overwhelms them and renders them powerless. This feeling of
powerlessness often surfaces in their dreams, the author says and adds
that dreams often urge the dreamer to get out of rut and to grow into
the greater fullness of potential.
What do dreams have to do with management? Plenty, says
the author. "It took a couple of years before those who had come to
scoff to stay on", he says.
Well known in the field of management education and
applied behavioural science, Dr Menezes worked as Director of Tata
Management Training Centre and pioneered "Creativity and Dream
Workshops" in corporate training in India. He says he has worked with
dreams of managers, public administrators, entrepreneurs religious
groups and many others. PTI |
