ABSTRACT
This chapter describes a Social Dreaming Matrix that held with a group of Austrian Social Democrats in 1999, who were local council members in one of the federal states. The social democratic workers movement appeared to have had a major impact on the social and political development of Austria. Social Democrats claim to be the important freedom movement in this country. Election campaigns have degenerated into a competition between political parties, who compromise for the mere sake of gaining a majority. The fact that the meeting of the European Social Democratic Party leaders took place in Vienna the very weekend of the workshop contributed to the disillusionment concerning the present situation and found its expression in the dreams. The newspapers referred to the meeting in Vienna as a family reunion. This was reflected in associations to how the social democratic body of thoughts could be transferred into the next generation.
