Dreams
The following data is extracted from The Choctaw of Bayou Lacomb, St. Tammay Parish, Louisiana.
The Choctaw bold that it is possible for the “spirit” to leave the body even during life, and by that belief explain dreams thus:
At night when a person is resting and all is quiet the “spirit” steals away from the body and wanders about the country, seeing many people and things, which are known to the individual when be awakes. If, during its wanderings, the spirit meets large animals of any sort, the person will surely suffer misfortune before many days have passed.
