Dreams, fainting, delirium, visions and other supernatural experiences were always considered in Slavic folk culture as significant events, and therefore were subject to interpretation and translation to others through stories. This collection studies the representation of individual mystical experience in folk culture. It focuses on the structure, semantic and pragmatic aspects of texts of oral and written stories, as well as on their connections with religious and mystical experience. Bibliographical references.
