What is Social Dreaming? Social Dreaming isΒ a practice of sharing and working with dreams within a social space

Social Dreaming is a method of enquiry in groups that uses the sharing of dreams in a social space to explore human experience.

"The dreams shared are seen as objects existing in their own right (rather than as disguised messages from a private, psychic world)."
