“The Etiquette of Dreaming: Night Visions and Discernment in Seventeenth Century Spirituality”
Most cultures throughout history have accepted dreams as a potential way to communicate with invisible or supernatural realms. As heirs to multiple methods for interpreting dreams drawn from both learned and popular sources, early modern Europeans fit this global pattern. However, in the wake of the Reformations, talking about one’s dreams fell under renewed scrutiny. This presentation will sample seventeenth-century religious texts including penitentials, spiritual manuals, hagiography and the Jesuit Relations to trace changing protocols governing when it was acceptable to relate a dream, to whom, and for what purpose.
