Abstract
To explore an orphanage’s essential dreaming, its individual, relationship, and organizational processes were examined. Processes studied were the author’s life myth, psychotherapy sessions of an abused child, and field dynamics that enhanced its children‘s and staff members’ mutual growth. The symbolic death and rebirth circular process is illustrated through these. The aftereffects of World War Ⅱ and nuclear energy were shared themes among them. Even though the physical war had ended about 75 years ago, the aftereffects seemed to be still present, at least in the author’s inner experience such as impressive night dreams. At the same time, recovery and reconciliation could happen by noticing and working on these subtle aftereffects. The paper shows that applying Processwork’s viewpoints of horizontal levels—namely the individual, relationship, and organizational levels—and vertical levels—which are Consensus Reality, Dreamland, and Essence levels—could reveal the field’s essential dreaming. It also explores the idea that shamanic wisdom can find positive meanings and chances of growth beneath abuses in families, wars between countries, and global crises such as nuclear accidents.
