England's dreaming: dreams, inwardness, and the self in Renaissance England.

关于英国文艺复兴时期的自我，梦告诉了我们什么？在这一时期，梦提出了关于内在的基本问题。梦是一种潜在的知识来源，但也是一种混乱的时刻，当感官传递混乱的信息，幻想的能力推翻了理性的能力。在清醒时思考和感受的私人自我的本质是什么？它与做梦的自我有什么关系，有什么奇异的行为和经历？该项目使用来自家庭环境、日记、小册子和戏剧的证据来探索睡眠和做梦，并询问这些在重大文化和宗教转型中如何促进和破坏内心自我的感觉。它重建了后弗洛伊德时代丢失的梦的经历。它还为自我历史上的一个重要时刻提供了重要的新视角，并探索了内在性是如何通过文本和表演通过梦来表达和复杂化的。

What do dreams tell us about the English Renaissance self? In this period, dreams raised fundamental issues about inwardness. Dreams were a potential source of knowledge, but also a moment of anarchy, when the senses delivered scrambled messages, and the faculty of fantasy toppled that of reason. What was the nature of the private self that thought and felt during wakefulness, and what relation did it bear to the dreaming self, with its bizarre actions and experiences? This project uses evidence from domestic environments, diaries, pamphlets, and plays to explore sleeping and dreaming, and ask how these contributed to-and disrupted-the sense of an inner self at a point of major cultural and religious transition. It reconstructs experiences of dreaming lost in the post-Freudian era. It also provides significant new perspectives on an important moment in the history of the self, and explores how inwardness was both expressed through and complicated by dreams in text and performance.
