Humans have showed interest in dream interpretation for thousands of years and in different cultures. In the current time, dream interpretation is highly valued by psychoanalysis, especially in psychotherapy, whether in individual care, therapeutic groups or couple and family psychotherapies. But, in all these cases, in addition to the predominantly clinical approach, they generally work from the associations made and the interpretation of the content dreamed, remembered and shared by one of the participants. Thus, the present work brings a differential, as part of the principles of elaboration and analysis of dreams presented by psychoanalysis, to propose the creation of a collective dream made in a playful way as a resource to enable the reading of group phenomena. This feature can be applied in groups with the most varied purposes. The stages of elaboration of the activity will be presented and some results will be discussed, which can be used by other professionals for health promotion in different types of groups.

Keywords : collective dream; mediating objects; health promotion in groups.
