Wandering Spirits: Chinese Dream Lore & Interpretation
UCLA professor Richard Strassberg will speak on his new translation and study of Chen Shiyuan's encyclopedia of dreams.
When:
April 26, 2008 12:00am
Dreams have been taken seriously in China for at least three millennia. In 1562 Chen Shiyuan compiled The Lofty Principles of Dream Interpretation, the most comprehensive work on dream culture in traditional China and still the best introduction to the diversity of ideas held by the educated class about dreams. This treatise compiles various theories, Chen's own comments concerning the nature of dreams and their role in waking life, and almost seven hundred examples assembled from a wide range of literary sources.
RICHARD STRASSBERG, Professor of Chinese at UCLA, will speak about Chinese dream lore and from Wandering Spirits, his new translation and study of Chen Shiyuan’s encyclopedia of dreams.
