Abstract:In this essay the author analyses and attempts to explain the regular dream-telling of one particular independent African church in western Uganda from a sociological point of view: the structural and organisational aspects, the ways dream-telling is patterned by the ideas and expectations of the actors and by the part it plays in the life of the group and the interactions of its members. Ref., notes, tables, summary.
