My research topic is “Social and Political Elevation of Dream Interpreters in the Ancient Near East”. It is a fairly untouched topic as dreams are normally analyzed from a psychological, symbolic, or theological viewpoint which makes my research slightly more difficult. I was able to find several sources that touch briefly on the subject and from those quick remarks as well as other evidences I believe I will be able to develop a plausible theory. I’m hoping to shed light on the profession of “interpreter” if indeed such a profession existed. This would be helpful to the Joseph narrative regardless of the outcome. It would give us further information on the Egyptian political and social system at the time Joseph lived there.

I am hoping to have my paper published on another online site when it is completed. If this happens I will put a link on this page.

I am currently working on my paper proposals and will be submitting them here in the next couple of weeks. When I finalize that information I will post it on here.
