ABSTRACT
The application of social dreaming to Jungian thought has opened exciting possibilities. C. G. Jung saw the dream as a spontaneous, creative expression of the unconscious psyche which arose to comment upon, and compensate for, deficiencies in any conscious situation. The social dreaming matrix provides a possible arena within which that collective angle might have expression. In the social dreaming matrix participants met to share their dreams. The primary task of the event was to associate to one's own and others' dreams that were made available to the matrix, so as to make links and find connections. This chapter shows the Thirteenth International Congress for Analytical Psychology, in Zurich, 1995, as an arena for analysts familiar with the concept of the collective to attend to the unconscious processes that might occur within those present. People came to Zurich, in middle Europe, from all corners of the globe, at a time approaching the end of the millennium.
