ABSTRACT
This chapter considers methodological issues arising from my study of dreamwork and imagework groups, that would be likely to occur for other researchers. The chapter begins with a reflexive account of my prior interest in dreamwork and the dreamwork movement. Issues pertaining to textual and narrative construction are noted. Thereafter I present the methods used in the study of a dreamwork group which I co-facilitated. The methods were primarily participant observation followed by semi-structured interviewing. I consider the issues arising from the use of these methods and particularly the issue of the merging of the roles of group facilitator and researcher. I consider the issues of sampling, validity, reliability and replication in relation to the dreamwork groups studied.
