English colonists considered dreams to be fraught messages sent by nature, God, or the Devil; Indians of the region often welcomed dreams as events of tremendous significance. Whether the inspirational vision of an Indian sachem or the nightmare of a Boston magistrate, dreams were treated with respect and care by individuals and their communities. Dreams offered entry to "invisible worlds" that contained vital knowledge not accessible by other means and were viewed as an important source of guidance in the face of war, displacement, shifts in religious thought, and intercultural conflict. Using firsthand accounts of dreams as well as evolving social interpretations of them, Dreams and the Invisible World in Colonial New England explores these little-known aspects of colonial life as a key part of intercultural contact. With themes touching on race, gender, emotions, and interior life, this book reveals the nighttime visions of both colonists and Indians. Ann Marie Plane examines beliefs about faith, providence, power, and the unpredictability of daily life to interpret both the dreams themselves and the act of dream reporting. Through keen analysis of the spiritual and cosmological elements of the early modern world, Plane fills in a critical dimension of the emotional and psychological experience of colonialism. 606 $aColonists$zNew England$xPsychology$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aIndians of North America$xColonization$xPsychological aspects$zNew England$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aDreams$zNew England$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aVisions$zNew England$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aNew England$xColonization$xPsychological aspects$xHistory$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aColonists$xPsychology$xHistory 615 0$aIndians of North America$xColonization$xPsychological aspects$xHistory 615 0$aDreams$xHistory 615 0$aVisions$xHistory 676 $a974/.02 700 $aPlane$b Ann Marie$f1964-$01028758 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459699803321 996 $aDreams and the invisible world in colonial New England$92457774 997 $aUNINA
