Sleeping, dreaming, and health or well-being are all closely related phenomena from an experiential and cultural point of view, and yet all three are often studied in isolation from one another. In this paper, I use an ethnographic and clinical lens to compare and contrast patterns of sleeping and dreaming and their relationship to health in a rural Indonesian society and among urban middle class people in the US. I demonstrate how culturally shaped patterns of sleeping and dreaming become linked through social practice and the implication of these practices for health and well being. I underscore, in particular, the seamless connection between waking and non-waking life, how daytime activities affect patterns of sleeping and dreaming, but also how the emotional and behavioral residues of the night affect daytime life and experience. Data for the Indonesia case were collected during extended fieldwork in 1981-1983, while the U.S. data come from my ongoing part-time private practice of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
从经验和文化的角度来看，睡眠、做梦和健康或幸福是密切相关的现象，但这三者通常彼此孤立地进行研究。在本文中，我使用民族志和临床视角，比较和对比了印度尼西亚农村社会和美国城市中产阶级人群的睡眠和做梦模式及其与健康的关系。我展示了文化塑造的睡眠和做梦模式如何通过社会实践联系在一起，以及这些实践对健康和幸福的影响。我特别强调了清醒和非清醒生活之间的无缝连接，白天的活动如何影响睡眠和做梦的模式，但也说明了夜间的情绪和行为残留如何影响白天的生活和体验。印度尼西亚案例的数据是在 1981 年至 1983 年期间的长期实地调查中收集的，而美国的数据来自于我持续兼职的心理治疗和精神分析私人实践。
