TI - Cultural ways of conceptualizing dreams in indigenous cultures: a psycho-cultural perspective
AB - The following article presents, following B. Tedlock’s methodological stance combined with the indigenous psychology perspective, a culturally-sensitive approach towards dreams, which can be applied in prospective research within cultural studies, anthropology and psychology. In the outlined perspective, dreams should not only be analyzed as a night-time individual experiences of psychological nature, but also as a significant, meaning-making contributions to rituals and social performances that may have influence on a given cultural system. Chosen contexts of indigenous societies are discussed (Sambia, Zuni, K’iche, Aguaruna, Rarámuri), as examples of cultural differences in ways of conceptualizing dreams.
