Description:

Social Dreaming is a model for the ancient communal practice of dream sharing that focuses on creating a space of emergence for new knowledge and shared concerns to arise.  In the course we will record and share our dreams as sticks building a fire, to expand our understanding of interdependence, the social imagination and reciprocity. Presentations, experiential practices and field research guide our look into dreaming as represented in literature and film, theories of dreaming from psychology to contemporary design, dreaming as a source of political agency and how dream sharing looks across the globe, "particularly in small-scale societies where it has been elevated to the level of an art form." As a group we will consider how we can support each other's dreaming towards new possibilities in art and life.
