Social dreaming was originally developed by Gordon Lawrence. It is an experiential event in which we offer our night-time dreams and free associate to them to work towards a collective sense of themes arising from them. There is no obligation or turn taking involved, no need to raise hands, just a sensitivity that usually comes from the activity itself and our immersion in the dreams and reverie of free associations.
The time is spent in two phases, an initial event in which participants share dreams and associations and a reflection event in which participants do sense making of the material that emerged during the matrix. The first phase is roughly twice as long as the second.
