SUMMARY:NYU Shanghai Lecture: Dreaming in Common
DTSTART:20171212T230000Z
DTEND:20171213T003000Z
DESCRIPTION:Around 500 BCE\, the Ionian thinker Heraclitus is supposed
  to have said: “For those who are awake there is a single\, common u
 niverse\, whereas in sleep each person turns away into his own\, priva
 te one.” This fragment captures what seems to be an uncontroversial\
 , common-sense observation and a view of dreaming that is dominant in 
 modernity. What I will argue in this talk is that views of dreaming re
 corded or implied in a wide variety of texts in early and medieval Chi
 na offer a strong contrast to this view of dreaming as private. There\
 , the very experience of dreaming itself was understood as an encounte
 r with someone or something other than oneself.
