ABSTRACT
This chapter illuminates the complexity of life in Israel, as reflected in the dreams of Israeli Jews. The dreams and associations are from different Matrices, which took place in Israel within the last fifteen years. The associations referred to rigidity of thought and denial of the surroundings, a lack of coalescence and integration into the environment, "a mode of cutting through reality", task-orientation and missing life opportunities. In a three-day workshop on the subject "Organizational Dreams, Vision, and Reality" twenty-three dreams were related by seven people throughout four sessions of a Social Dreaming Matrix. The primary task of the workshop was to focus on role analysis and team development, helping that unit improve its function under stress conditions. As a result of the workshop, the mutual silence was broken; the dream was related and worked with, bringing considerable relief, and opening an additional path of dialogue amongst this unit's members.
