Dreams in Black Robe
In Black Robe written by Brian Moore Neehatin has a dream that changes his tribe and Laforgue's mission for going on their trip. After Neehatin speaks to his wife about his dream, they decide that the Black Robe is bringing them danger so they have to get rid of him somehow. We know from this example that Indians take their dreams to be given to them as fate, but do American see dreams the same way? How similar do Indians and Americans see their dreams? In chapter two, pages 40-42 in Black Robe, Neehatin awakes from his dream surprised and thinking to himself, "The fact that he had dreamed it on the first night of the journey meant it signaled a danger ahead." Neehatin had no idea what danger this could be, so he got up from laying down and made his way over to his wife to ask her about his dream. He explains his dream to his wife by saying,"I was on a log. I paddles across a river and landed in an open place. I walked up to a meadow, and when I did, this fucking big serpent followed me through the grasses. I went back to the river and again sat on the log. As I paddled away, a heavy man jumped onto the log behind me and made it rock. I fell in the water and a fish swam up and told me to follow it. It led me to the farther sho
American do not go as far as the Indians did in Black Robe although both of these types of people believe that in our dreams there are symbols and hidden meanings for us to find out. Also, another similarity between Indian and American interpretations on their dreams could be the dreams showing what they should do in life, or what is good for them, although I believe that Americans would not go through all the steps that Neehatin and his tribe went through to help the dream come true. This sorcerer seeks out Laforgue after he introduces himself and says, "Ah! Ah! Ah!. The definition of a dream is: a series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during a certain stage of sleep. Tomorrow night we will reach that shore. In the beginning of chapter four, Laforgue, Daniel, Neehatin and his tribe finds the "fish" which turns out to be a sorcerer that has a very unique look. The wife explained to Neehatin that the heavy man was the Black Robe and that he was going to bring their people danger. You are not Nicanis, whoever that man was. Once they got there, Neehatin and his tribe collected pine branches for Laforgue and Daniel to help them survive the night.
