From Ritual Communication to Convivial Entertainment

The major part of the Lithuanian folkloric dream narratives consists of stories about family members or relatives seen in the dreams. The dream experience reflected in those stories transforms into varying texts, thus becoming an exceptional and especially relevant means of continuing or supporting the communication between close people. As repeatedly noted by various studies of oneiric tradition, dream narratives existing and thriving among memb…

The Resonant Table
The article focuses on the traditional Lithuanian drinking-songs that used to particularly flourish and be amply recorded by the folklore collectors in the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The prevailing folkloric motives in these songs include the making of the drinks (most frequently, the beer), inviting of the guests and an insistent encouraging them to help themselves, to drink “to the bottom”, praising of the neighbors an…
Folkloric Language of the Dream

Thus, distinction between absolutely individual language of the dream, which is, according to the cultural scholar Yuri Lotman, unsuited to communication, and the language of the dream narrative, which turns private oneiric experience into a public social performance, directly connected to t…
