DREAMS; CLAIRVOYANCE OMENS
Dream of grapes means something is going to happen to your relations (matu). Dream of somebody passing in a canyon means a grave, a relation is going to die. Dream of shaking hands with somebody or talking close up to them means something good for you. Dream of a medicine man brings good luck. Men would not touch the scalps~ lest they dream of them. Our informant, Abeita, was himself a dreamer and attached importance to his dreams. One morning he told me of a dream about a girl of our acquaintance, a white girl, in which she was caught by a wolf and cried out; but the dreamer's neck was stiff and he could not turn around. "You dream when you worry," said Lucinda. For her part this cheerful spirit did not worry, so she said, and did not dream. But one night when she had gone to a house alone in which there was no light, no fire, she was very nervous and could not sleep for thinking of the man she had seen the week before jumping up and down~" where he had no business. When she did get to sleep she had a bad dream. With another woman from Isleta she was on a clin from which she could not descend.~ She was wearing a dirty American dress. She wondered in her dream why it was so greasy.
Formerly people would talk together about their dreams and so found out what was going to happen. The old man nicknamed Football used to interpret dreams. Thé old people told about the white people coming before they came; also how wagons without horses would corne (automobiles), and horses with two legs (bicycles). (Let us note in comparing this statement with others of the same Idnd among other Indian peoples that it is the power of prediction which is the main postulation; the content of the prediction will vary and be kept up to date.)
Clairvoyance is a notable attribute of the medicine men in general, and of the ritual detective in particular. But clairvoyance appears to be practiced also by persons of either sex who are referred to as nathôrde, with power, powerful. Unhke witches, they use their power to travel long distances32 or to see what is going on at a disSee p. 260.

Imprisonment on a cliB is a not uncommon folk tale incident. At Nambé it is believed that such imprisonment is a punishment after death for an unworthy ceremonialist.
