ABSTRACT

A social dreaming session always starts with one person stating the primary task which put simply is ‘to bring dreams and free associations and any thinking which the matrix makes available. Each matrix had a number of dreams and associations. The weekend was concerned with understanding how social dreaming might be used in organisations. Such a topic is like a question being posed to the matrix. The Senoia tribe used Social Dreaming to big effect in dealing with all aspects of their lives. They used the most ancient to help them with the most present and practical—they used their reptilian brains—the crocodile. Social dreaming is a ‘no goal’ method. The idea of a goal requires a certain type of conscious focus and so something gets forced into a way of thinking like the violin case.
