    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Assesses relations between dreams and determinism (fate, providence, and prophecy) in three medieval narratives: Kriemhild&#039;s dream in the &quot;Nibelungenlied,&quot; the dreams in&quot; Der Nonne von Engeltal Büchlein von der Gnaden Überlast,&quot; and Chanticleer&#039;s dream in NPT. In the latter, physiological humoral processes counterpoint dream theories, and the philosophical implications of the tale are &quot;relativized&quot; by humor and &quot;the fact that the protagonists must also be considered as natural enemies.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Criseyde&#039;s dream (II, 925-31), added by Chaucer to his source, Boccaccio&#039;s &quot;Filostrato,&quot; indicates her desire for ravishment and marks her early submission to Troilus&#039;s pursuit. Troilus&#039;s two &quot;anxiety&quot; dreams (in Book V), especially the second--a &quot;primal scene&quot; nightmare--and its variations from the version in &quot;Filostrato,&quot; &quot;point in the direction of shaping Troilus as an Oedipal figure.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Praises Chaucer&#039;s &quot;tremendous knowledge of medieval dream-lore&quot; and his respect for dreams as &quot;part of the mystery of creation.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In Chaucer and other fourteenth-century writers, dreams often prompt the dreamers to try to assert intellectual control over their mysterious experience by classifying the possible causes or truth values of dreams.  Earlier classifications of this sort were supplemented by newer ones, such as Nicholas of Lyra&#039;s (text and translation in appendix).]]></dcterms:description>
