| Sumario: | This article weaves a common thread through Persian carpets and dreaming by describing how both manage to tell a story through their unique patterns; have a sense of numinosity; link the personal with the collective and our ancestors; bring us back in contact with nature; and help us get closer to the Other. Through this rapprochement, I bring into focus my own specific neo-Jungian form of active imagination practiced in groups, which is called the "Dream-Weaving" (DW) method. Moreover, through a vignette from a Dream-Weaving session with a group of students in training, this article demonstrates the valuable insights the students gained about their relational patterns and perceptions about the experience of teaching they were immersed in.
