Description
Social Dreaming @ Work by W. Gordon Lawrence explores a unique approach to working with shared dreams in groups. This method, known as "Social Dreaming", has its roots in the early 1980s and was developed within the Group Relations Programme at the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations. At its core, Social Dreaming is based on the concept of "relatedness" - how individual experiences and behaviours are shaped by conscious and unconscious constructs of the group or organization. This approach aims to facilitate a deeper understanding of the ways in which groups influence each other's thoughts and actions. Lawrence's work provides a framework for using shared dreams as a tool for personal growth, team building, and organisational development.
