Dreams are shared and interpreted daily within the family unit among the Mapuche Indians of Chile. This anthropological study examines the communicative aspect of dream sharing and interpreting among Mapuche families undergoing emotional and physical stress. Specifically, it investigates the ways in which the Mapuche dream interpretation system provides the family members with another means of interaction and a way of solving their problems. It also examines how individuals influence their attitudes towards one another by communally participating in the dream interpretation process, and in its narrative performance. The data used in this research consists of dreams and of their interpretations, collected in the natural setting, from two families with members suffering of witchcraft, and fear of death. This information was collected over a period of 17 months from October 1985 to March 1987 with a Fulbright-Hayes Doctoral Dissertation Grant.
在智利的马普切印第安人的家庭单元中，梦每天都在被分享和解读。这项人类学研究考察了处于情感和身体压力下的马普切家庭中梦的分享与解读的交流层面。具体而言，它探究了马普切梦的解读系统为家庭成员提供另一种互动方式和解决问题途径的方式。它还考察了个体如何通过共同参与梦的解读过程及其叙事表现来影响彼此的态度。本研究使用的数据包括在自然环境中收集的来自两个家庭成员遭受巫术折磨和对死亡恐惧的家庭的梦及其解读。这些信息是在1985年10月至1987年3月期间借助富布赖特 - 海斯博士论文奖学金收集的。
