Paper short abstract

I aim to discuss the ways in which dreams influence the Arctic hunters' movement patterns and choices in their lives.

Paper long abstract

The northern people think that there is much truth in dreams. A person who is awake and fully conscious can never tell the truth precisely, s/he always lies a little bit. I intend to explore dreams' authority over people's actions. I use the northern people's narratives about dreams and dream-like experiences for analysing how hunters adopt short-term hunting tactics but also make long travels and accept new roles in a local community.
