ABSTRACT
This is an enhancer exercise for facilitating dreams into realities and enriching life. It can increase one's repertoire of options for good times and growth. The exercise encourages individuals to identify desired activities and assists in exploring the necessary requirements for participating in those desired activities. Encourage group members to work together to resolve problems with leisure barriers and resources. The exercise helps to increase participant's leisure awareness and increase participant's leisure planning and decision-making skills. The trainer may "open" the Magic Box first to make the activity less threatening. A nonjudgmental attitude by trainer and participants will help participants answer honestly. For some groups who have little experience with revealing dreams or fantasizing, the trainer may need to talk about the healthy aspects of being free to dream and fantasize, such as license the members to dream or make believe.
