The contributors to this investigation of dreaming in a diversity
of African cultures and settings have each approached the matter
with a respect for an indigenous discourse which does not
necessarily subscribe to Western evaluations of the objective and
subjective. The matter of dreaming is not so much a psychological
constant as ultimately sociological and historical.
Dream discourse as a strategy deploys contingencies in the
elaboration of social relationships and the defence, restoration
and promotion of identities. Dreaming is therefore prominent in
such critical settings as sickness and healing, artistic
inspiration and craftwork, election to religious office, conversion
to Islam or Christianity.
