The social dreaming matrix is a device created for the purpose of grasping the social meaning of dreams. We tried to evaluate its application in the context of Brazil and theorized about its potential in processes of psychological intervention. Meetings were held to share dreams with two groups: 14 human management professionals of a national financial institution and six trainees and graduates in Psychology of a federal public university. The information gathered with the technique of participant observation and reaction evaluating questionnaires was interpreted using qualitative methods. The applicability of the device was verified and a hypothesis was formulated about the use of the matrix in psychological intervention.
