They took on regimens to discipline their comportment, speech, breathing, diet, senses, desires, sexuality, even their dreams. Yet, compared with waking life, dreams are incongruous, unpredictable-in a word, strange. How, then, did these regimes of self-fashioning grapple with dreaming, a lawless yet ubiquitous domain of individual experience? In Dreaming and Self-Cultivation in China, 300 BCE - 800 CE, Robert Ford Campany examines how dreaming was addressed in texts produced and circulated by practitioners of Daoist, Buddhist, Confucian, and other self-cultivational disciplines. Working through a wide range of scriptures, essays, treatises, biographies, commentaries, fictive dialogues, diary records, interpretive keys, and ritual instructions, Campany uncovers a set of discrete paradigms by which dreams were viewed and responded to by practitioners. He shows how these paradigms underlay texts of diverse religious and ideological persuasions that are usually treated in mutual isolation. The result is a provocative meditation on the relationship between individuals' nocturnal experiences and one culture's persistent attempts to discipline, interpret, and incorporate them into waking practice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Dreams $z China $x History. 650 0 $a Dream interpretation $z China $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Buddhism $z China $x History $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Taoism $z China $x History $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Confucianism $z China $x History $x History $y To 1500. 650 7 $a Buddhism $x Discipline. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00840038 650 7 $a Dream interpretation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00897886 650 7 $a Dreams. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01198490 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Harvard-Yenching Institute monograph series ; $v 138. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021231.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14E5BF8C253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
