ABSTRACT
The impetus for starting a social dreaming matrix with children came after participating in a social dreaming matrix led by Gordon Lawrence. D. W. Winnicott's description of transitional objects and transitional phenomena is a natural bridge connecting "reality" and "fantasy", in an amalgam called dream. This chapter explores the potential of the social dreaming matrix in groups of children to develop as an instrument of more integrated knowledge. It shows that the childreamatrix can transcend the individual and finds its place among other emerging applications of the social dreaming matrix. Preschool children are still interested in origins. As Sigmund Freud so accurately captures in his classic paper "On the Sexual Theories of Children", the child is a persistent seeker. In parallel to the sharing of dreams, the children engaged in a kind of meta-discussion about the origin of dreams. This led to a dialogue about how to deal with bad dreams.
