from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Klausbernd Vollmar , (born November 22, 1946 in Remscheid ) is a German psychologist, author and dream specialist.

Life

Vollmar studied German and Nordic studies , linguistics , philosophy and geosciences at the Ruhr University Bochum and McGill University in Montréal . After graduating, he received a Canada Council Research Fellowship. He worked as the cultural editor of the Montreal News and was a consulting director at the Montreal International Theater. Before that he worked as a lecturer at the Goethe Institute in Finland.

During his second degree in psychology and oriental studies at the Ruhr University in Bochum, he was a student of Olga von Ungern-Sternberg and the shaman Black Horse Chavers (Institut Dies, Utrecht). After a long stay at the Findhorn Foundation (Findhorn community) in the 1980s and extensive travels through Asia, which he reported on in his novel Wasserberg , he became actively involved in an English Gurdjieff group. Also in the 1980s there were publications in the literary alternative magazine Ulcus Molle Info .

Services

Since the early 1980s, Vollmar has been teaching mind-expanding and concentrative techniques in the interdisciplinary working group at Walther Niesel's chair for physiology. At the IAG Institute, among other things, he worked in the area of crisis intervention - specializing in dealing with jealousy - until the beginning of 1984. Between 1983 and 1985 he spent longer stays in Findhorn, where he built up and managed the Findhorn publishing house on behalf of the Findhorn Foundation. Vollmar has lived on the English coast in Cley next the Sea / Norfolk and in Cologne since the late 1980s and holds seminars in small groups on creative work with dreams, personal development and the promotion of creative potential. Vollmar writes non-fiction books and gives lectures mainly on the subject of dreams and color symbolism . From 2004 to 2006 he took part in the expert panel of the RBB radio, his work was presented and published in several national newspapers and magazines.

Dream and symbolism

Starting from the spiritual training, Vollmar developed a model of the dynamic development of the personality , which is based on the dream interpretation and modern communication theory. One of the author's basic beliefs that meaningful and successful decision and understanding processes are to be understood as an oscillation between the feminine ( intuition , synthesis ) and the masculine ( logic , analysis ) archetype emerged during this time and led to numerous book publications, Radio and television broadcasts. In addition, there was an intensive occupation with creative processes and especially the use of dreams in the development of new ideas and problem solving. There are also book publications on this. Klausbernd Vollmar worked for three years as editor-in-chief of the magazine Hologramm at the Bruno Martin publishing house. He also worked with the photographer Roswitha Mecke and Martin Haeusler in the esoteric bookstore "Licht und Schatten" in Cologne.

In the 1990s he founded the dream offices in Germany, which were active in the field of personal and telephone dream counseling and trained dream counselors. This later resulted in a collaboration with the psychologist Konrad Lenz TraumOnline and the development of dream software. The focus of his work is the idea that the dream provides an amazing potential for creativity that can be used productively for the future of the dreamer. He presents his ideas in lectures and courses in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, England, Hungary and Liechtenstein. Vollmar works with the publishing houses Königsfurt-Urania , Heinrich Hugendubel , Rowohlt Verlag and Goldmann Verlag .

Color and creativity

Vollmar has been working increasingly on the history of symbols and the effect of colors since 2007. He is based on the ideas of the Bauhaus teachers Kandinsky , Klee and Itten , which he further developed for the present day. In his interviews in 2008 in the Süddeutsche Zeitung and other German magazines, the focus was on color in fashion and self-expression. In his publications, Vollmar investigates the question of how the color of his clothing makes an impact and what can be achieved through it, and how colored surroundings affect one at work and at home. Also in 2008 Vollmar published the first German lexicon on all terms from the world of colors "The fascinating world of colors - A glossary from A - Z" (ars momentum Kunstverlag).
