Dreaming: Anthropological and Psychological Interpretations (School for Advanced Research Advanced Seminar Series)

Author: Barbara TedlockPublisher: School for Advanced Research PressPaperback:ISBN 10: 0933452810ISBN 13: 978-0933452817The ten contributors to this book-anthropologists and psychologists-explore the ways in which dreams are remembered, recounted, shared (or not shared), interpreted, and used by people from New Guinea to the Andes. The authors take a major step toward moving the study of dreaming from the margins to the mainstream of anthropological thought. Review [This volume] consists of ten richly documented ethnographic essays… Like all good anthropology, this book opens our eyes to the great variety of human experience and thought and points out the limitations of our own ways of conceptualizing the world and human behavior. I highly recommend it to anyone with a serious interest in dreams and dreaming processes. --Douglas Hollan, Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease Vol. 177, no. 9 About the Author Contributors are Ellen B.
