HAZAN, Gloria; KNOBEL, Anna Maria  and  FERNANDES, Eni. The social dreaming matrix: a Brazilian proposal. Rev. bras. psicodrama [online]. 2014, vol.22, n.2, pp. 36-44. ISSN 0104-5393.

The Social Dreaming Matrix (SDM) is a method created by W. Gordon Lawrence in 1982 at the Tavistock Institute (London), in which participants spontaneously share their dreams with each other in a process of free association that produces a counconscious Matrix. This article describes how this method was linked by Brazilian Psychodramatists to J.L. Moreno's Sociodrama, and used as a transitional practice between the dream-world of the participants and the sociodramatric scenes jointly constructed by them, which enable us to better understand the social reality of the group. As an example of this intervention, we describe a public event, which took place in 2013 at the São Paulo Cultural Centre (CCSP).

Keywords : Social Dreaming; Matrix; Counconscious; Dreams; Sociodrama.
