- Description
- 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's (text and translation in appendix).
