    A dream home is one where all the members are in full flow. Read this post to understand how an ideal home has the subtle combination of differentiation and integration.

    Whereas integration would mean all members unite and integrate to achieve common and critical goals for the family as a whole e.g. taking care of a minor during ill heath.
