| Extra Info | : | Social Dreaming is a way of working with dreams in a communal setting, developed by Gordon Lawrence and others at the Tavistock Institute in the 1980’s. In a matrix, we meet with a specific task: to share dreams and our associations to them, making links where possible. The focus is not on what dreams mean for the dreamer, but on our responses to the dreams we share – a process which enables us to pool our creative resources in an imaginative way. A period of reflection, after the matrix has closed, enables us to identify emerging themes, relating these to the context in which we meet and the wider zeitgeist. After the workshop we will have a short break, followed by a presentation by Freud Museum Research Manager Tom DeRose, and Freud Museum Curator Vanessa Boni focussing on the place of dream interpretation in Freud’s development of psychoanalysis, and the role of dreams in art with particular reference to our current exhibition, The Sight of Something. |
