Starting with Anthony F. C. Wallace's excellent prologue, its individual essays explore the complex and often conflicting somatic cultures of both natives and Europeans with particular emphasis on the political and religious uses of dreams on both sides of the Atlantic, their place in the conquest and conversion of the New World, together with the role of dreams, nightmares included, in the construction of the early modern self. All told, this important collection is must reading not only for historians, but also pyschologists and pyschoanalysts, and for that matter anyone-and who isn't?-interested in the complex, often disturbing, but always fascinating and revealing character of dreams.\" (Richard L.

Interpreting their dreams in much the same ways as their ancient and medieval forebears had done-and often using the dream-guides their predecessors had written-dreamers rejoiced in heralds of good fortune and consulted physicians, clerics, or practitioners of magic when their visions waxed ominous. \u003ci\u003eDreams, Dreamers, and Visions\u003c\/i\u003e traces the role of dreams and related visionary experiences in the cultures within the Atlantic world from the late thirteenth to early seventeenth centuries, examining an era of cultural encounters and transitions through this unique lens.\u003cbr\u003e In the wake of Reformation-era battles over religious authority and colonial expansion into Asia, Africa, and the Americas, questions about truth and knowledge became particularly urgent and debate over the meaning and reliability of dreams became all the more relevant. Exploring both indigenous and European methods of understanding dream phenomena, this volume argues that visions were central to struggles over spiritual and political authority. Featuring eleven original essays, \u003ci\u003eDreams, Dreamers, and Visions\u003c\/i\u003e explores the ways in which reports and interpretations of dreams played a significant role in reflecting cultural shifts and structuring historic change.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eContributors:\u003c\/b\u003e Emma Anderson, Mary Baine Campbell, Luis Corteguera, Matthew Dennis, Carla Gerona, MarÍa V JordÁn, LuÍs Filipe SilvÉrio Lima, Phyllis Mack, Ann Marie Plane, Andrew Redden, Janine RiviÈre, Leslie Tuttle, Anthony F.
