Series 7, Episode 3: The Social Dreaming Network: Are we all part of a dreaming matrix?
In this episode, Laura meets Franca Fubini, chair of the Social Dreaming International Network, to explore the concept of social dreaming, a methodology developed to understand and share dreams collectively in what they call a Matrix.
What is it like to be in the Matrix? And what happens?
Franca, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and organizational consultant, discusses the history of social dreaming. How its methodology was developed by Gordon Lawrence in the 1980s, its links with the Tavistock clinic in London, UK, and its significance in understanding societal issues today. Laura and France delve into the social dreaming matrix, where groups come together to share dreams and find collective meaning and how that differs from traditional dream analysis as the focus in social dreaming is on the dream itself, not the dreamer.
The discussion also touches on the impact of the 9/11 and COVID-19 pandemic on dreaming, highlighting common themes that emerged during this time. Fran a also explains how she uses the concept within companies and international organizations in a concept known as reflective citizenship. This is the power of dreams on a global scale.
