The author, with the assistance of local workers, examined the trends and variations among Moroccan dream interpreters. He offered a series of twelve dreams, drawn from Freud's writings, to eight interpreters, mostly Koranic schoolmasters, and recorded their responses. The study focuses on the system formed by the dream, the presenter of the dream, the interpreter, and the social context in which they all exist. A specific dream—"She saw a deep pit in the vineyard, which she knew had been caused by a tree being torn out" (Standard Edition, Vol. 15, p. 191)—and its diverse interpretations are used as a main example of the process of study carried out by the author. The comparative analysis of the material reveals vast differences between the Moroccan approach and the Freudian one, as well as significant difference among the individual approaches of the Moroccan interpreters. However, some specific, culturally syntonic fantasies and defensive mechanisms are shared by the local interpreters, and their function can be discerned within their cultural context.
