Abstract

ABSTRACT Dreams play an important and often underestimated role in cultural transmission because they provide personal experiential verification of incoming information. Dreams facilitated the reception of religious beliefs among the Asabano before, during, and after their conversion to Christianity. Asabano hold the "classic" view that dreams are real experiences of the soul. Therefore, dream encounters with supernaturals provide evidence for such beings' existence and power. The Asabano case suggests that, as evidence, dreams are vital, especially in the transmission of extraordinary religious ideas.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
