This article presents several theoretical and methodological perspectives from which psychoanalytic understanding of the dreams of people in a foreign culture might be obtained. The dreams of two Inuit (Eskimos) are examined as they reflect the cosmologies, narrative styles, and individual psychologies of each dreamer. Caveats are noted regarding notions of universal symbolism, typical cultural character, and facile interpretations of dreams.
