At the level of the dream we are all one. There is substantial reason to believe that all living things may participate in the dream state. Our collective perils are real and pressing. We have manufactured them ourselves. Dreams could be a way of reestablishing the ecological inter-connectedness of all beings.
Dreams help break down prematurely closed prejudices, opinions, idelogies and world views.
Group dream work can create support and understaning to sustain us in reamaking a wiser, more humane and just global society as well as offer speicific creative insight and ideas on how to do it. An example of this is from the San Franciso Bay area where a group of dream sharing people who lived in the Sanusalito house boat community conflict and change. Gates as a Sausalito Waterfront Community, started a Dream Journal begun in 1977. It contains dreams and efforts to resist demolition of the houseboats, land fill, and construction, nonviolently. This periodical helped bring warring factions together to acknowledge their common interests and common humanity.
