ABSTRACT

Understanding a Dream Sociogram is essentially a process of pattern analysis. Dream Sociogram pattern analysis has implications for a broad range of life issues, readers' expression of their personal power, career and health issues. Each pattern can exist in the world only to the extent that is supported by other patterns. The various Dream Sociogram patterns represent a response to differing degrees of waking centeredness, balance, clarity and integration. The Dream Sociogram provides additional insight into the nature of the intrasocial group through graphic depiction of intrasocial dynamics and relationships, which are not the same as psychological dynamics and relationships. Self-acceptance, emphasized in Dream Sociometry through empathy with multiple perspectives and a respect for the rationale behind their feelings and behaviors, plays a fundamental role in the expansion and thinning of identity. By identifying Dream Sociogram patterns we discover fundamental characteristics not only of different categories of dreams but of our own daily life dramas.
