Revue de presse

Dream Cultures offers titbits from various cultures and serves as a perfect appetizer to read more about dreams in antiquity (Veit Rosenberger, The Classical Review, Vol.51, No.1, 2001)

Fifteen essays by an impressive international team of specialists in literature, anthropology and history of religion... Dream Cultures strengthens the view that dreams are not necessarily the domain of psychology. (Charles Stewart, TLS 11/08/2000)
