Social Dreaming Matrix: Facilitated by Artists as Visionaries Social Dreaming Network

All are invited to participate. Social dreaming is a community-building process that has existed in many cultures. By sharing the imagery of their nighttime dreams, spontaneous imagery and lucid dreaming, community members make clearer what exists in the collective social unconscious. Although the dreams come from individuals, when they are shared in this way they belong to the community. Once in the matrix, there is no analysis, commentary, questioning or direct response to each others’ dreams. Rather, it is the uncensored unfolding of the collective personal and group consciousness.
