Abstract
Group dreams reflect not only the individual psychodynamics of the dreamer, but articulate a problem that concerns the group as a whole. Working with this material in psychoanalytic groups can give the dreamer and the group a message about individual and collective defences and can also lead to coping strategies which are used to solve situations of conflict and tension in a more mature way.Keywords
