The dream of conception tales that show signs of death are a group of the
dream of conception tales which are structured with stories about babies blessed
by the dream of conception ended in miscarriage and death. I discussed them
in structural characteristics and significance.
First, the dream of conception tales are divided in several subtypes. However
they show structural characteristic in common that the dream of conception and
death in practice are closely related.
Next, considering the consciousness that the group of possession have about
the dream, the interrelationships between the dream of conception and reality
are vary from above-mentioned subtypes. Namely, these interrelationships can
be interpreted to mean that the dream of conception foreshadow the unfortunate
incident in reality, or results in the unfortunate incident. From among these,
the former one has the characteristics that folk life views are stressed, while
the latter has the characteristics that the guilty conscience of dream subject as
parents is stressed.
Last, the folk life views that the birth and death of children are decided by
transcendental existence regardless of will of parents are reflected in the dream
of conception tales. In addition, in these tales, the expectation, concern, and
responsibility of maternal?sm are reflected in the sense that the birth and death
are performed specifically in body of maternal?sm. Therefore, the dream of
conception tales are worthy of notice in the sense that these tales arise primitive
life views which were handed down among people and make narrative of the
psychological aspects that perinatal woman have with regard to children’s
healthy life.
