Social Dreaming is a method for discovering the social meaning and significance of dreams through sharing them with others. It starts from different assumptions than individual, therapeutic dreaming

This is done by the deliberate and sustained method of free association and amplification through the Social Dreaming TM Matrix. Matrix was chosen from the first attempt at Social Dreaming because it was intuited by its founder, Dr. Gordon Lawrence, that this configuration best fitted the dreaming process.

From the inception of Social Dreaming the systemic nature of dreaming was recognized and affirmed. Not only do dreamers dream from their ecological niche, but also they dream themes that are systemically related.

Social dreaming is also a uniquely experiential discipline, which frees participants from their personal defenses that constrain free-thinking and interaction in ordinary social situations.

The mission of the Social Dreaming Limited is to advance and promote the theory and practice of Social Dreaming in communities and organizations. The Social Dreaming Limited will sponsor international three-day annual symposium for sharing research and experience in thinking about and discussing the application of social dreaming to organizations. The First Symposium has been planned in London in 2009.

Membership in the Social Dreaming is limited to those who show interest in dreaming. support the principles and practice of Social Dreaming by applying social dreaming to communities and organizations.
