Abstract
In learning and teaching tasks, the unconscious processes at work are often ignored. This contrasts to the analytic perspective where the evidence for underlying dynamics is sought and their elucidation is given a central place. As workers in the Group-analytic field, we are often reminded that each individual and group has to discover and rediscover unconscious processes and that dreams are richly relevant. This paper describes the way in which specific discoveries of underlying dynamics in groups and systems-as-a-whole occurred. It considers the worker's vulnerability to becoming a collusive cog in an antidevelopmental wheel; and focuses on the happy surprises which emerged when a learning group shared their dreaming.Keywords
