I recently had a friend tell me that Tbtn people don't have the dream of going to school without one's pants, or going to school naked. This is interesting to me. I wonder if there is any scholarship on the cultural interpretation of dreams. It's not exactly my specialty, but I'm still curious. I mean, this dream is prevalent enough in Western cultures to make it a trope worthy of mention in TV shows. My question is, is this a specifically Western dream? A class-specific dream? An urban dream? A dream of some other sub-section I am (at the moment) overlooking? I'm not sure yet. Nonetheless, I feel like it is worthy of a blog post.

About TimAs you can see elsewhere on this webpage, I conduct research on ethnic minorities in western China. This blog offers semi-academic musings on the minutiae of daily life out here--the sort of information otherwise destined for footnotes. Categories |
