Abstract
An outgrowth of Moreno's sociodrama and sociometry and the AQAL (all quadrants, all lines, all levels, all states, and all styles) model of Ken Wilber, dream sociodrama is one methodology of a multiperspective, integral life practice called integral deep listening (IntegralDeepListening.com). A playful excursion into constructive absurdity, dream sociodrama asks the protagonist to choose three life issues and then tell a dream or nightmare or share a waking drama. Alternatively, the protagonist may choose a sociocultural crisis or a historical or fictional event, or the group can present a shared issue, such as a work problem. Several group members take one role in the drama and answer scripted questions designed to generate transformations, often surprising and cosmically humorous, followed by the protagonist doing the same. All develop action plans based on recommendations elicited by the interviewing process.
