The Oneirocriticon of Achmet


Book Description

Any scholar interested in dreams will be in Oberhelman's debt. His lucid translation and helpful annotations have brought Achmet away from the private preserve of Byzantinists and into the academic mainstream. His thoughtful introduction not only persuasively argues for Achmet's relevance, but provides a modern, theoretically sophisticated introduction to the study of dreams in their historical context. The side connections that he draws between cultures, time periods, and methodologies of study should provide a valuable stimulus for future work; and, as a valuable bonus, this material could fit very well into the classroom. -- C. Robert Phillips, III Achmet is an observer of culture as he analyzes hundreds of dreams in context of gender, politics, socioeconomic class, psychological and physical state, cultural upbringing and religion.

It was becoming difficult to keep his thoughts on his job when all he wanted was to be near her. My first attempt at putting my creations on paper and into the mass market is finally becoming a reality. I have been dreaming up characters and writing about them since greade school. I hope you enjoy reading abou them as much as I have enjoyed telling their story! Currently, I am fighting with the characters in my second novel, they can be shy and snooty and sometimes just downright stubborn in their refusals to cooperate. Still, I persist because I believe their stories could shine the light on solutions to similar real-life problems. So prey for my patience and watch for "I face the morning" coming soon. Thanks and God Bless! Rennae
