Virtual Realities, Visionary Realities -- Afterword: On the Politics of Dreaming -- Notes -- Glossary -- Bibliography -- IndexDreams that Matter explores the social and material life of dreams in contemporary Cairo. Amira Mittermaier guides the reader through landscapes of the imagination that feature Muslim dream interpreters who draw on Freud, reformists who dismiss all forms of divination as superstition, a Sufi devotional group that keeps a diary of dreams related to its shaykh, and ordinary believers who speak of moving encounters with the Prophet Muhammad. In close dialogue with her Egyptian interlocutors, Islamic textual traditions, and Western theorists, Mittermaier teases out the dream's ethical, political, and religious implications. Her book is a provocative examination of how present-day Muslims encounter and engage the Divine that offers a different perspective on the Islamic Revival. Dreams That Matter opens up new spaces for an anthropology of the imagination, inviting us to rethink both the imagined and the real.Dream interpretation - EgyptDream interpretation -- EgyptDreams - EgyptDreams -- EgyptDreams - Religious aspects - IslamDreams -- Religious aspects -- Islam -- Case studiesEgypt - ReligionEgypt -- ReligionEthnopsychology - EgyptEthnopsychology -- EgyptDreamsIslamReligious aspectsEgyptCase studiesDream interpretationEgyptDreamsEgyptEthnopsychologySocial SciencesHILCCParapsychology & Occult SciencesHILCCElectronic books.Dream interpretation - Egypt.Dream interpretation -- Egypt.Dreams - Egypt.Dreams -- Egypt.Dreams - Religious aspects - Islam.Dreams -- Religious aspects -- Islam -- Case studies.Egypt - Religion.Egypt -- Religion.Ethnopsychology - Egypt.Ethnopsychology -- Egypt.DreamsIslamReligious aspectsDream interpretationDreamsEthnopsychologySocial SciencesParapsychology & Occult Sciences154.63096216Mittermaier Amira, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1012897DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910460147503321Dreams That Matter2353320UNINA
