When dream sharing groups become psychologically unsafe

A few of us friends started a dream journal sharing group to explore the spiritual dimensions of sleep, but one person keeps interpreting everyone else's dreams in this really invasive way, and another person shares dreams that are clearly about trauma but won't acknowledge that. It's become uncomfortable but we all want the connection and exploration.

Ideas that help explain it
Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Sleep — the science and the practice across traditions?”
