ABSTRACT

Dream Sociometry is an in-depth character and life issue interviewing protocol that is one aspect of Integral Deep Listening (IDL). IDL is itself a form of dream yoga, or a path to awakening from the dreamlike nature of reality, asleep or awake. IDL does not claim that life is a dream, only that it shares with dreaming the same common delusion that while asleep and dreaming one is awake. It also shares with dreaming the ability to wake up, or move into lucidity and out of the delusion, that occurs with lucid dreaming. Dream Sociometry is multi-perspectival because it asks you to take a variety of different world views or orientations that are invested in individual dreams and life dramas. It is transpersonal because it provides both temporary state and permanent stage access to holons that transcend, yet include, both rational/personal and belief/preference-based prepersonal levels of development.
