The Future as an Ongoing Concretization
According to the Wayùu of Colombia, dreams have a predictive virtue. They thus consider possible to adopt a more informed point of view on events that have not yet occurred. I suggest to analyze these presuppositions with respect to the local understanding of the dreamlike experience. This paper shows that the admissibility of a prediction is rooted in a conception of dreams and events as they reflect the intensions of spirits and entities. In that respect, interpretation of dreams only constitute an extension of a symptomatic way of being in the world.
