Set in late sixteenth-century Spain, this book tells the gripping story of Lucrecia de Le?n, a young woman of modest background who gained a dangerously popular reputation as a prophetic dreamer predicting apocalyptic ruin for her country. When Lucrecia was still a teenager, several Catholic priests took great interest in her prolific dreams and began to record them in detail. But the growing public attention to the dreams eventually became too much for the Spanish king. Stung that Lucrecia had accurately foreseen the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, Philip II ordered the Inquisition to arrest her on charges of heresy and sedition. During Lucrecia's imprisonment, trial, and torture, the carefully collected records of her dreams were preserved and analyzed by the court. The authenticity of these dreams, and their potentially explosive significance, became the focal point of the Church's investigation.
Returning to these records of a dreamer from another era, Lucrecia the Dreamer is the first book to examine Lucrecia's dreams as dreams, as accurate reports of psychological experiences with roots in the brain's natural cycles of activity during sleep. Using methods from the cognitive science of religion, dream researcher Kelly Bulkeley finds meaningful patterns in Lucrecia's dreaming prophecies and sheds new light on the infinitely puzzling question at the center of her trial, a question that has vexed all religious traditions throughout history: How can we determine if a dream is, or is not, a true revelation?

Описание: Drawing from a rich understanding of dreaming in culture, history, psychology, and modern dream study, Kelly Bulkeley and Patricia Bulkley's Dreaming Beyond Death explicitly addresses three common aspects of pre-death dreams and offers interpretations that will aid both dying persons and their caregivers. Rev. Patricia Bulkley's experience with the transformative possibilities of pre-death dreams as a hospice counselor lend this book a deeply personal and human touch, while Kelly Bulkeley's insightful analysis and intellectual framework provide an understanding of the deeper meanings behind this type of dreaming. A final chapter provides resources and concrete methods for caregivers to respectfully guide a dying person through the dreaming process to a sense of peace.

Gershom Bulkeley (1635-1713), scientist, surgeon, minister, doctor, miller, lawyer and alchemist, was an important figure in all the events in Connecticut during his lifetime. He was born into the Puritan elite, graduated from Harvard and attained an advanced degree. He married Sarah Chauncey, daughter of the President of Harvard, and he might have spent his life as a quiet academic. But he left the university to be minister to the church in New London, Connecticut and then Wethersfield, Connecticut. He served with distinction as surgeon and advisor to the Army in the King Phillip War. He conducted research in his laboratory to create new medicines and wrote the most comprehensive summary of the state of medicine in seventeenth century Colonial Connecticut. He was an honored medical doctor and respected counselor. His opinion was often sought in legal and church disputes. He chose to involve himself in some of the most controversial cases of murder, witchcraft, incest and politics. He often defended the weak, the vulnerable and the unpopular. He could be arrogant and cranky and was no friend of democracy. But he believed in the rule of law and of the right to an impartial hearing. He helped to create a legal precedent that virtually ended the witchcraft trials. He fell from grace in popular opinion for his stubborn opposition to the legality of Connecticut's government. The Charters of the New England Colonies had been revoked during the reign of King James. After James was deposed, Bulkeley argued that the Colonies could not re-establish Charter government without new royal permission. He is best known for his treatise, Will & Doom, or the Miseries of Connecticut by under an Usurped and Arbitrary Power. Some historians continued to denounce him well into the 19th century and his contributions have never been fully acknowledged.Gershom Bulkeley (1635-1713), scientist, surgeon, minister, doctor, miller, lawyer and alchemist, was an important figure in all the events in Connecticut during his lifetime.
