Dreams have long been an object of curiosity in human history for
their unusual and interesting content. Many different cultures have
had, or continue to have, their own particular interpretations of,
and functions for, dreams. The most significant of these may be the
Islam, Hindu, and Chinese analysis of dreams. However there are
many other smaller but no less interesting cultures with a
particular dream culture. A good example is the Senoi people, who
use dreams for a variety of purposes; for example, as a way to deal
with fears and apprehensions early in childhood. (Vedfelt 308)
