ABSTRACT

A dream told in a group has a strong impact on its working culture, openness, trust, and deepens the understanding of individual and social unconscious processes. Although dreaming may be highly influenced by interpersonal stimuli, it is an autonomous, intra-psychic function. Dreamtelling is a social event, making it especially interesting in groups. Questions like: “To whom do we tell a dream and why? What is consciously and unconsciously expected from telling a dream and when?” may guide us to work with the difference between dreaming and dreamtelling (Friedman, 2002, 2004).
