꿈 활용 그림책 만들기를 통한 예비 미술치료사의 자기이해 경험 탐구 = An Exploratory Study on the Self-Understanding Experiences of a Prospective Art Therapist through Dream-Based Picturebook Creatio

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 언어로 포착하기 어려운 미해결된 욕구와 정서를 탐색하고자 꿈 작업을 활용한 그림책 만들기 경험을 중심으로 자기와 미술치료사로서의 자기를 이해하기 위한 경험적 탐구이다.
연구대상은 연구자 본인이며 전체 연구기간은 2024년 3월부터 2025년 10월 초까지다. 연구자의 꿈 기록 및 이미지화는 2024년 4월부터 2025년 6월까지이며 연구자가 기록한 꿈 19편 중 인상에 강하게 남은 11편을 선정하여 이를 시각적 이미지로 표현(11장)하였다. D시 소재 모 센터의 심리상담 전문가와의 상담은 2025년 6월부터 2025년 7월까지 진행되었으며 현장 노트 8편을 기록하였다. 2025년 8월부터 2025년 10월 초까지 꿈과 연구자의 경험 풀어내기와 이를 기반으로 한 그림책 만들기 작업을 진행하였다. 그림책의 크기는 너비 3486px, 높이 2797px의 크기로 하였고 300dbi로 설정하였으며, 서체는 KoPubWorldBatan체를 11폰트로 설정하였다. 또한 해당 그림책은 웹용으로 제작하여 인쇄를 하지 않았다.
수집한 자료는 내러티브 탐구(Narrative Inquiry)로 분석하였다. 연구 텍스트와 꿈과 경험 이야기를 풀어내는 과정에서 알게 된 연구자의 감저와 생각, 해결하지 못한 문제를 적어보고 연구자가 생각하는 자기 자신은 어떤 사람인지 정리하였고 이를 통해 자신의 불안과 죽음에 대한 두려움, 자신이 느끼는 긴장감과 조급함, 실수에서 오는 자괴감 등을 발견하였다. 연구자는 그림책을 통해 지금까지 자신의 감정을 외면하고 있는 그대로의 모습을 인정하기보다 미워해왔던 자신에게 해주고 싶은 말을 주제로 정하였다.
경험이야기는 ‘꿈과 그림책을 통해 만나게 된 나’와 ‘예비 미술치료사로서의 나의 정체성’으로 구성하였다.
본 연구의 논의는 개인적 정당성 측면에서 꿈 활용 그림책 만들기를 통하여 구체적으로 자기를 표현하면서 자기수영과 자기이해를 도왔다. 실제적 정당성 측면에서 꿈과 그림책 제작을 통합하여 자기이해를 도모하는 새로운 접근을 탐색하였다. 이는 꿈을 재구성하여 그림책이라는 시각적 창작물을 만드는 과정에 대한 구체적 실천 사례를 제시함으로써 치료 현장 또는 후속 연구의 근거를 마련할 수 있다.
본 연구의 의의는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 치료사는 내담자를 온전히 이해하기 위해 자신의 내면을 인식하는 노력이 필요하다. 본 연구는 꿈 활용 그림책 만들기를 통해 자신의 마음을 돌아보고 외면했던 자신의 모습과 알지 못했던 모습을 발견하게 되었고 이를 수용하는 자기이해 과정의 경험을 이해했다는 것에 의의가 있다. 둘째, 꿈을 활용한 자기이해 연구나 그림책 만들기를 통한 자기이해에 대한 연구는 이루어지고 있지만 꿈과 그림책 제작을 통합하여 자기이해를 도모하는 접근은 없었다. 이는 자기이해를 위한 새로운 접근이라는 점에서 의의가 있다.
본 연구의 제언은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 후속 연구에서는 굼 활용 그림책 만들기가 자기이해에 미치는 영행에 대해 다수의 대상자를 대상으로 연구가 진행될 필요가 있으며 또한 양적연구를 비롯한 다양한 방법으로 진행될 필요가 있다. 둘째, 꿈을 풀어내는 과정에서 전문적인 숙련과정을 거친 전문가를 통해 연구가 진행된다면 꿈 이야기를 보다 심도있게 들여다볼 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 셋째, 본 연구는 사회적 정당성을 확보하지 못하였으므로 후속 연구에서는 연구 대상자를 현재 정책적으로 도움을 받지 못거나 이론적 정당성이 부조한 대상자로 설정하여 탐구하는 것이 필요하다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is an experiential inquiry aimed at understanding the self and the self as an art therapist through the experience of creating a picturebook based on dream work, in order to explore unresolved needs and emotions that are difficult to capture through language. The participant of the study was the researcher herself. The overall research period spanned from March 2024 to early October 2025. Dream recording and visualization were conducted from April
2024 to June 2025. Among 19 recorded dreams, 11 dreams that left a strong impression were selected and expressed as visual images (11 illustrations). Counseling sessions with a psychological counseling professional at a center located in D city were conducted from June to July 2025, during which eight field notes were recorded. From August 2025 to early October 2025, the researcher engaged in the process of articulating dreams and personal experiences and
creating a picturebook based on this material. The picturebook was produced in a digital format with dimensions of 3486 px in width and 2797 px in height, set at 300 dpi, using the KoPubWorldBatang font at 11-point size, and was not printed but created for web use.
The collected data were analyzed using narrative inquiry. Through the process of constructing research texts and narrating dream and experience stories, the researcher reflected on her emotions, thoughts, and unresolved issues, and examined her perception of herself. As a result, she identified anxiety, fear of death, feelings of tension and impatience, and self-reproach arising from mistakes. The theme of the picturebook centered on messages the researcher wished to
offer to herself—whom she had previously disliked—rather than continuing to ignore or deny her emotions as they were. The experiential narratives were organized into two sections: “The Self Encountered Through Dreams and the Picturebook” and “My Identity as a Prospective Art Therapist.”
In the discussion, personal justification was addressed by demonstrating how creating a dream-based picturebook facilitated concrete self-expression and promoted self-acceptance and self-understanding. In terms of practical justification, this study explored a novel approach to fostering self-understanding by integrating dream work with picturebook creation. By presenting a concrete practice example of reconstructing dreams into a visual creative work in the form of
a picturebook, this study provides a foundation for therapeutic practice and future research.
The significance of this study is as follows. First, therapists need to cultivate awareness of their own inner world in order to fully understand their clients. This study is meaningful in that it examines the process of self-understanding through which the researcher reflected on her inner experiences, discovered previously ignored or unknown aspects of herself, and came to accept them through creating a dream-based picturebook. Second, although previous studies have
examined self-understanding through dream work or through picturebook creation, no prior research has integrated dreams and picturebook production as a combined approach to self-understanding. In this regard, this study contributes a new approach to self-understanding.
The suggestions for future research are as follows. First, subsequent studies should examine the effects of dream-based picturebook creation on self-understanding with a larger number of participants and employ diverse methodologies, including quantitative research. Second, conducting research with professionals who have undergone specialized training in dream interpretation may allow for a deeper exploration of dream narratives. Third, as this study did
not secure social justification, future research.
