Main Hall Forum: How to Interpret a Dream and Escape the End of Times, with Brigid E. Vance

(Special Events)

In this interactive session, timed to coincide with the publication of a new book by historian Brigid E. Vance, we will explore the intricate relationship between dreams, politics, and the Chinese writing system. Brigid will invite us to learn and use dream interpretation techniques used by early modern Chinese scholars who countered the instability of their time by compiling and editing dream texts. All are welcome to come learn how to interpret a dream using the early modern Chinese dream interpretation "toolkit."

Please note that Brigid has ordered a limited supply of discounted books available for purchase. Please PM her separately if you wish to order a copy for $35 USD. These are available until supplies run out.

Brigid E. Vance. Escaping the End of Times: Dreams. In Late Ming China. Hong Kong: The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press, 2025.
