This cultural history of dreams in antiquity draws on both contemporary post-Freudian science and careful critiques of the ancient texts. Harris takes an elusive subject and writes about it with rigor and precision, reminding us of specificities, contexts, and changing attitudes through history. 606 $aDreams$zGreece$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aDreams$zRome 615 0$aDreams$xHistory 615 0$aDreams 676 $a154.6/30938 700 $aHarris$b William V$g(William Vernon)$0209722 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785021603321 996 $aDreams and experience in classical antiquity$921899 997 $aUNINA
