ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the main themes that emerged in the dreams and the connections which are found between the three workshops. In the Tel-Aviv workshop, one can identify a chain of dreams throughout the sessions which deal with the anxiety and terror of parents who feel that they are unable to protect their children. This theme recurred like a mirror image in the Ramallah workshop, where the participants were Palestinians from the Occupied Territories. The Tel-Aviv workshops raised dreams of Jews who live in homes that belonged to Arabs until 1948. Dreams and associations within the context of the Jewish-Arab conflict bring to light the ancient myths of brothers and foes, loved ones who are enemies. Social Dreaming reveals the massive impact of the Holocaust on the Jewish-Arab conflict. The figure of the soldier in the dream-matrix undergoes metamorphosis. The dreaming soldier reminded people of naivete and innocence.
