Abstract

Drawing on fieldwork conducted in the Poltava region, the author examines semantic aspects of images appearing in dreams, and attempts to describe both the patterns of interpretation of dreams and ways of their use in the folk culture of Eastern Slavs. She further discusses the relationship between the folk interpretation of dreams and other facets of Eastern Slavic culture.
