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. 606 $aDream interpretation - Egypt 606 $aDream interpretation -- Egypt 606 $aDreams - Egypt 606 $aDreams -- Egypt 606 $aDreams - Religious aspects - Islam 606 $aDreams -- Religious aspects -- Islam -- Case studies 606 $aEgypt - Religion 606 $aEgypt -- Religion 606 $aEthnopsychology - Egypt 606 $aEthnopsychology -- Egypt 606 $aDreams$xIslam$xReligious aspects$zEgypt$vCase studies 606 $aDream interpretation$zEgypt 606 $aDreams$zEgypt 606 $aEthnopsychology 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aParapsychology & Occult Sciences$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aDream interpretation - Egypt. 615 4$aDream interpretation -- Egypt. 615 4$aDreams - Egypt. 615 4$aDreams -- Egypt. 615 4$aDreams - Religious aspects - Islam. 615 4$aDreams -- Religious aspects -- Islam -- Case studies. 615 4$aEgypt - Religion. 615 4$aEgypt -- Religion. 615 4$aEthnopsychology - Egypt. 615 4$aEthnopsychology -- Egypt. 615 0$aDreams$xIslam$xReligious aspects 615 0$aDream interpretation 615 0$aDreams 615 0$aEthnopsychology 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aParapsychology & Occult Sciences 676 $a154.63096216 700 $aMittermaier$b Amira, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01012897 801 0$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247980003316 996 $aDreams That Matter$92353320 997 $aUNISA
