ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the experiences in Social Dreaming with a group of women seeking political asylum in Italy took place in December 2003 at a First Shelter Home for political refugees situated in a small town south of Rome. The tension between the more material aspects and the emotional aspects hence favoured the formulation of a long-term ongoing Social Dreaming project. In the 1st Matrix, both dreams and associations seemed to express personal expectations and fears of each participant and the authors parted with an unanswered question about their goals. Probably this kind of indefiniteness stimulated the dream-like atmosphere of the 2nd Matrix, in which transformations and translations became easier. The 9th dream marked the shift from insecure means of transportation to prenatal bliss. The necessary time due to optimize the taste of the tellah recalls the Social Dreaming process which develops with time.
