Abstract
During the second quarter of the 17th-century, Jesuits and Hurons engaged in a debate over the importance and centrality of dreams. From the Jesuits' perspective, dreams were peripheral and often opposed to Christian theology. For the Huron, dreams were a central feature of their religious practice and a primary source of both personal knowledge and social empowerment. Contrasting these two understandings of dreaming, this essay explores the little understood religious nature of dreams in Huron religious culture.
