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。梦是知识的潜在来源，但也是无政府状态的时刻，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，它与梦境中的自我及其奇怪的行为和经历有什么关系？这个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，并询问这些是如何促成和破坏在重大文化和宗教转型的时间点上的内在自我的感觉。它重建了在后弗洛伊德时代迷失的梦境体验。它还为自我历史上的一个重要时刻提供了重要的新视角，并探索了内在是如何通过梦在文本和表演中表达并被梦复杂化的。

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.
