D'Andrade, Roy G."The further a son moves away from his parents at marriage, the more likely a society is to use dreams to seek and control supernatural powers" (322).
D'Andrade, Roy G."Hunting and fishing societies will be likely to use dreams to seek and control supernatural powers, while societies with both agriculture and animal husbandry will be less likely to use dreams in this fashion. Societies with either agriculture or animal husbandry, but not both, should fall between these two extremes" (325).
