| dc.description.abstract | This paper explores the thesis that the use of children's dreams in the elementary school classroom will enhance students' creative output and assist in the acquisition of language skills. The author supports his thesis with reference to various previously published writings and his own study. His study involved 114 students from several classrooms in the San Francisco Bay Area, representing five language groups. The procedure, involving group discussion and recording of dream images through writing and drawing, is outlined. The findings are compared to a similar study by Garfield (1984). The paper concludes that dreamwork, used in the manner described, can be effectively integrated as part of a larger arts—based curriculum to provide students with a resource from which to draw creative expression. | |
