AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study of Zulu dream is concerned with the ways '… the dreams of ordinary men and women … are circumscribed and influenced by the social pressures and sanctions of the culture' (p. 266). The data for this study were collected in a clinical situation by the author and a Zulu assistant. Information is given on the typical Zulu dream images and on the correlations between certain kinds of dreams and the age and sex of the dreamer. The author devotes a major portion of the article to a discussion of the ways in which situational stresses (especially those related to marital fertility) create anxieties that are played out in dreams.
