subject [Vsg] work on dreams?
Does anybody know if there is any work out there on dreams/dreaming in
Vietnam? I am interested in anything: sociological, psychological,
literary, etc. You can reply off-list, if you prefer.
Thanks in advance,

I don't know of any work on dreams/dreaming in Vietnam, but a small
household survey I conducted in Hanoi earlier this year reveiled that dreams
about deceased familiy members seem to be extemely common. A typical and
almost stereotype answer to my question whether the interviewee has ever
experienced an apparition of any kind was "I dreamed that my dead
(father/mother/brother etc.) came to my house and talked to me as if he/she
was still alive".
