SUMMARY:Climbing a stairway to heaven: Rereading dream texts as lived religion and embedded emotion in seventeenth-century New England
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the Pre-Modern Cluster’s second brown bag lunch of this year.\nIt is based on Prof. Plane’s newly published book: \nDreams and the Invisible World in Colonial New England:\nIndians\, Colonists\, and the Seventeenth Century \nFrom angels to demonic specters\, astonishing visions to devilish terrors\, dreams inspired\,\nchallenged\, and soothed the men and women of seventeenth-century New England. English\ncolonists considered dreams to be fraught messages sent by nature\, God\, or the Devil; Indians\nof the region often welcomed dreams as events of tremendous significance. Whether the\ninspirational vision of an Indian sachem or the nightmare of a Boston magistrate\, dreams were\ntreated with respect and care by individuals and their communities. Dreams offered entry to\n“invisible worlds” that contained vital knowledge not accessible by other means and were\nviewed as an important source of guidance in the face of war\, displacement\, shifts in religious\nthought\, and intercultural conflict. \nUsing firsthand accounts of dreams as well as evolving social interpretations of them\, Dreams\nand the Invisible World in Colonial New England explores these little-known aspects of colonial\nlife as a key part of intercultural contact. With themes touching on race\, gender\, emotions\, and\ninterior life\, this book reveals the nighttime visions of both colonists and Indians. Ann Marie\nPlane examines beliefs about faith\, providence\, power\, and the unpredictability of daily life to\ninterpret both the dreams themselves and the act of dream reporting. Through keen analysis\nof the spiritual and cosmological elements of the early modern world\, Plane fills in a critical\ndimension of the emotional and psychological experience of colonialism. \nAnn Marie Plane is Professor of History at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and is\na Training and Supervising Analyst at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los\nAngeles. She is coeditor of Dreams\, Dreamers\, and Visions: The Early Modern Atlantic World\,\nalso available from the University of Pennsylvania Press. \nhm 11/10/14
