There are two parts to this assignment both utilizing a group dreamwork approach. Part I is to work with another person’s dream, and Part II is to work with one of your dreams.
Directions:
OPTION I: You will work with one volunteer and use either a humanistic dreamwork approach or a transpersonal dreamwork approach for Part I and Part II.
Part I:
Select which approach you want to use. Ask a volunteer to work with you for a modified dream group experience. The volunteer will provide a dream he/she wishes to analyze, and you will be acting as a member of a hypothetical group.
Your volunteer has the option of writing up his/her dream to give to you, but it is not required. You will provide the copy of the dream if you receive one or write a short synopsis of the dream and include it as an appendix. Please refer to the APA manual for formatting appendices as well as how to reference them in your paper.
Part II:
After completing the session with your volunteer, you will conduct a second session. For this session, you will be analyzing your dream. You may work with the same person, or you can work with a different person. The individual will be part of the hypothetical group, and he/she will help you analyze your dream.
In preparation for the session, you will write up your dream and include it in your appendix. Please refer to the APA manual for formatting appendices as well as how to reference them in your paper.
Additionally, you will type up the group process for the approach you will be using so the person so has a guideline.
