Abstract: | This article examines the phenomenon of dream-sharing groups and argues that these groups offer a valuable source of spiritual
revitalization and community healing in contemporary Western society. The article traces the historical development of dream-sharing
groups, analyzes the various forms they take, and discusses their relation to the secularization of the modern West. Two concrete
examples are offered—one from a public high school, the other from a prison—to illustrate the power of dream-sharing groups
to stimulate a deep and powerful sense of relatedness to others, enabling people to recognize a shared humanity in the midst
of social and cultural differences. |
