 3 Read and make notes.

Dreams can be affected by internal factors in your body or by factors in your environment.
For example, when you are hungry, you can dream that you are eating. Or when a strange
object is bothering you in your bed, you can dream about being trapped or unable to move.
Your mind creates these dreams, so you don’t wake up, but continue resting.

The Importance of Dreams in Native Cultures

For the native people of North America, dreams are an important part of children’s lives when
they go on their vision quest. A vision quest is when a child who is about 12 years old goes into
the woods alone to learn about nature and himself. Every child has to find his own food and

pi ew nte g
water and make a shelter for the two to four days he is in the woods.

co vi o in

t
During the quest, the child has a dream and sees an animal. The animal helps the child and

ed o n
e re e c ish
tells him how to live his life. After the dream, the child returns to the village and follows the

.
or ly
ld
instructions the animal gave him in his dream. For example, some children may dream about a

n
t b er pl bl
bear. They believe that the bear will give them strength and teach them how to be good hunters.

so
Others may dream about an eagle, which they believe will give them excellent vision and help
no ch m Pu
them see into the distance.
Vision quests are important because they show that a child is ready to become an adult.
nd

They teach children important life skills like how to be alone in the woods and how to hunt.
The other villagers must accept the child as an adult in the village.
