Sense 1: "An attempt to revive a dream without sleeping." I don't really quite understand what this means... Equinox 18:36, 29 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Most hits seem to be for the other sense, but I found a medical paper and a book from a reputable publisher both using the term dreamwork and both using similar vocabulary throughout the rest of the text. Neither of them explicitly defines the term dreamwork, but the book description does contain the text

In this step-by-step guide to dreamwork, Lee Adams provides tools and techniques for encouraging, remembering, and using lucid dreams for personal growth as well as how to have big dreams that leave a lasting impact. Beginning with an overview of the history of lucid dreaming, he shares tried-and-true foundational practices to get you started--practices for before sleep, during sleep, and after dreaming.

which at least aligns somewhat with the definition we have. I note that our definition doesnt say it's related to lucid dreaming, but I think usually people who are trying to control their dreams are talking about lucid dreaming. Basically, all I'm saying is that my first instinct was that dreamwork was simply about trying to finish a dream from the previous night, but it seems the intended definition is more complicated.
