Zusammenfassung:This essay offers reflections on the data set, method, and evaluation of the intersection between religion and dreams found in Kelly Bulkeley's Big Dreams. The reflections are organized around four interrelated rubrics: definitions, methods, the transformational, and social spaces. Definitions explores the issues surrounding how to circumscribe the 'what' of religion. Methods unpacks the adaptive, therapeutic import of dreams as found in the pages of Big Dreams. The transformational asks how to theorize what William James referred to as the 'farther' side of the 'more' with respect to the dream life and what the nature of the data set (James's 'wild facts') correlated to it might look like. Social spaces speaks to what we do as scholars of religion and dreams, the rules that govern that space, and how that space differs from and is related to others both within and outside of the academy.
