Rfitsch, Christian. Mexican prophecies, dreams and visions. Grenzgebiete der Wissenschaft, 1987, 36(2), 116-134. 17 refs The author lived in Mexico's rain forest among the Lacandon Indians. Dreams play an important role in the daily lives of this tribe. They believe that during sleep the body and consciousness become inactive but the soul gets out of the heart, where it lives, and sails into the in- visible world of the night. The dream is actually what the soul perceives. The soul can take the form of the individual's animal spirit and launch itself into timeless travel in the world of souls. It can thus perceive, the es- sence of things. Things about which we dream are in the vicinity of the dreamer. When, for instance, a cigar ap- pears in the dream, this indicates that a snake will be coming because the soul of a lurking snake appears in the invisible world as a cigar. Lacandons meet every morning and relate their dreams in order to divert, with the help of gods, the threatening dangers. Also, when a drearn is forgotten it means that the soul did not return to the heart, and the individual may become sick. The author's dreams during his stay with the Lacandons often had a predictive value in agreement with the tribe's beliefg. He has learned to trust his dreams. The hallucinogenic plants Ololuiqui, peyote, thorn-apple (Datura), teonanacatl mush- room, and Salvia divinorum are described. The article Vol. 6, No. 2 December 1988 ends with a Lacandonian prophecy, which the author thinks applies to all of us, announcing that an end to the world will come and that the earth will become empty. - A.1. 03000.
