Oneirology, or the study of dreams and dreaming, enjoyed authority and prominence in various times and places. Such prestige was the outcome of a long historical process, during which oneirological knowledge and methods were promoted, practiced, and disseminated. Today, our attention is drawn again to both theoretical and practical aspects of dreaming. This workshop brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars and practitioners to examine the diverse means of creating oneirological knowledge in the past and in the present. Together, the three comparative panels highlight the latest scholarship and practices on a range of oneirological issues.
