The Ullman Technique is an Co-Created Dream Process consisting of a succession of very different stages that serve to develop insight and knowledge into a dream for a dreamer. Guided by open-questions and a non-interpretive approach. All the processes are to help open up the dream for the dreamers benefit. The group has no other agenda. Only the dreamer can know what their dream means. For more detailed information on the process see here.

1. A dream is offered: The group leader invites anyone who wishes to share their dream. In the case where more than one individual wants to do their dream, a coin is tossed. ****The dreamer then tells their dream slowly, all participants record verbatim.
   1. **Clarifying Questions:**The group asks clarifying questions such as:
      • "Were there any colors in the dream?"
      • "We you your present age in the dream?"
      • "Who/what is real in waking life?"
      • "Any feelings while dreaming?"
2. The Flip: Each member pretends the dream is her own.
   1. Feelings: Members of the group who wish to, speak up and express a feeling they had during a certain scene in the dream or because of a particular image. For example:
      • "I'm my dream I felt...."
      • Do no look at the dreamer.
   2. Metaphors: The leader asks the group to shift gears and begin looking at the images of the dream as metaphors. They're very useful because they open up the dreamer's own imagination. For example:
      • "I feel the dark cloud is a metaphor for camouflage, like a squid's ink."
      • "In my version of the dream..."
   3. Dreamer's Response: This is a time when the dreamer can say anything she wants about anything. The only thing she has to do is tell the group when she's finished.
3. The Dialogue between dreamer and the group: At each previous stage of the process either the dreamer or the group has been active. During the dialogue the group and the dreamer interact.
   1. Search for Context: The group now questions the dreamer about the real-life events leading up to the dream. Open ended question abo such as:
      • "Could you say anything more about.... what was going through your mind as you were going to sleep that night?"
      • "Do you remember your last thought before you slept?"
      • “What happened the day of the dream?”
   2. The Playback: Someone in the group reads the dream, scene by scene, back to the dreamer in the second person e.g. "You saw a big black cloud on the horizon, etc." This allows the recent emotional experience of the dreamer and the dream images to merge together in fresh way. Then to connect the dream with images and feelings in real life.
      • "Could you say anything more about.... ?"
   3. The Orchestration: The leader invites any members of the group who wish to come forward now and offer the dreamer their view of what the dream is saying. They attempt to "orchestrate" or bring together in a harmonious way all the disparate and discordant bits of information.
   4. The Final Word: Symbolically and factually, it's important that in this process the dreamer has the final word. The leader invites the dreamer to say anything more she cares to say.
4. A Return: At the next group meeting, the dreamer is invited to briefly share any further ideas or insights about the dream. It sometimes comes out that the dream was about something completely different than everybody thought.
