Summary "Myths and Dreams" by Edward Clodd is an analytical work written in the late 19th century. This publication explores the origins and evolution of myths and dreams, linking them to primitive man's understanding of themselves and their environment, with a focus on how these narratives shape beliefs in the supernatural. Through examining examples from both barbaric and civilised cultures, Clodd sheds light on the continuity of thought across different societies. The opening of the book introduces its primary objective by emphasizing the significance of myths and dreams as reflections of early human consciousness. Clodd argues that these narratives provide insight into the interpretations humans have historically made of their surroundings, particularly in understanding mysterious natural phenomena. He establishes a framework for examining the primitive notions behind myth-making, positioning it not merely as fanciful storytelling but as a serious endeavor that attempts to make sense of the universe and human existence. Through this lens, Clodd discusses the confusion between the living and non-living in early thoughts, illustrating how primitive peoples attributed life and will to natural elements, laying the groundwork for the comprehensive exploration that follows in subsequent chapters.
