Abstract
This paper presents a rationale and step-by-step procedure for the interpretation of dreams in a specifically dream-oriented group. Traditionally, dreams have been used across a broad spectrum of approaches to individual psychotherapy. As group methods have evolved, the group context has emerged as a particularly favorable medium for the analysis of dreams. Adherence to the Jungian approach to dream interpretation, together with theoretical insights from dream and imagery research, group research, and behavior modification form the basis of this four-step dream group model. This systematized procedure has utility for the training of professionals in basic psychodynamic dream work, for psychotherapeutic practice, and for research into the efficacy of the model.
