"This is an important book that extends the horizons envisioned by Gordon Lawrence. Dreams are overdetermined events that condense many divergent strands of thought into one remarkable internal event. ’Social dreaming’ theorists analyze the way dreams include social events in their matrix. At a time when there is widespread distress in societies around the globe, a work such as this is timely and useful." --Christopher Bollas
