Any two people, or group of people who share their dreams, particularly if they explore the associated feelings and thoughts connected with the dream images, achieve social intimacy quickly. Whether it is a family sharing their dreams, or two friends, an environment can be created in which the most profound feelings, painful and wonderful, can be allowed. Such exposure of the usually private areas of one’s feelings and fears, often presents new information to the dreamer, it also allows ventilation of what may never have been consciously expressed before. In doing so a healing release is reached, but also greater self understanding, and the opportunity to think over, or reconsider what is discovered.
