The war in the Middle East is marked by a lack of cultural
knowledge on the part of the western forces, and this book deals
with another, widely ignored element of Islam-the role of dreams in
everyday life. The practice of using night dreams to make important
life decisions can be traced to Middle Eastern dream traditions and
practices that preceded the emergence of Islam. In this study, the
author explores some key aspects of Islamic dream theory and
interpretation as well as the role and significance of night dreams
for contemporary Muslims. In his analysis of the Islamic debates
surrounding the role of "true" dreams in historical and
contemporary Islamic prophecy, the author specifically addresses
the significance of Al-Qaeda and Taliban dream practices and
ideology. Dreams of "heaven," for example, are often instrumental
in determining Jihadist suicidal action, and "heavenly" dreams are
also evidenced within other contemporary human conflicts such as
Israel-Palestine and Kosovo-Serbia. By exploring patterns of dreams
within this context, a cross-cultural, psychological, and
experiential understanding of the role and significance of such
contemporary critical political and personal imagery can be
achieved.
