Dreaming in the World’s Religions: A Comparative Approach This course focuses on Dr. Bulkeley's book Dreaming in the World's Religions: A Comparative History. Dr. Bulkeley is the author and editor of 14 books and dozens of articles on the religious and psychological dimensions of dreaming. This book introduces readers to the importance of taking religion and spirituality seriously in the study of dreams. Contemporary psychologists can benefit from this information because our dream experiences today are shaped by the religious and spiritual teachings of our communities, whether or not we are formally "religious" people. Dreaming in the World’s Religions provides an authoritative and engaging one-volume resource for the study of this topic. It tells the story of how dreaming has shaped the religious history of humankind, from the Upanishads of Hinduism to the Qur’an of Islam, from the conception dream of Buddha’s mother to the sexually tempting nightmares of St. Augustine, from the Ojibwa vision quest to Australian Aboriginal journeys in the Dreamtime. Bringing the latest insights from cross-cultural history to bear, Bulkeley incorporates an accessible consideration of cognitive neuroscience and evolutionary psychology into this fascinating overview. From Biblical stories of Joseph interpreting Pharoh’s dreams in Egypt to
prayers against bad dreams in the Hindu Rg Veda, cultures all over the world
have seen their dreams as religiously meaningful experiences. In this view,
dreams are a powerful medium of transpersonal guidance offering the opportunity
to communicate with sacred beings, gain valuable wisdom and power, heal
suffering, and explore new realms of existence. Conversely, the world’s
religious and spiritual traditions provide the best source of historical
information about the broad patterns of human dream life. Dreaming in the
World’s Religions offers a carefully researched, accessibly written portrait of
dreaming as a powerful, unpredictable, often iconoclastic force in human
religious life. Learning Objectives After studying Dreaming in the World’s Religions, you will be able to: • Describe the multiple roles of dreaming in different religious traditions. • Recognize cross-cultural similarities in dream beliefs and practices. • Make connections between ancient spiritual teachings and modern scientific dream research. • Understand the appearance of dreams at significant stages in the life cycle (conception, childhood, adolescence, marriage, aging, death). • Learn how to identify prototypical themes (aggressive, sexual,
gravitational, mystical) in historical and contemporary dreams.
