“…As I hope this article has shown, an anthropological approach that integrates an everyday ethnographic emphasis on social reality and perceptual consciousness with a cultural psychodynamic focus on psychic reality and “phantasy consciousness” (Brudzinska , 35) allows us to more fully appreciate the always‐present inner world that both derives from and shadows the outer world, often transforming it in the process. Of course, as with any psychic product, the meaning of phantasy is overdetermined: multiple and conflictual representations, both veridical and defensively inflected, can exist side by side within any individual.…”

In this article, I present an analysis of “persecution dreams” among the Tzotzil Maya of San Juan Chamula, discussing the complex connections among sickness, interpersonal aggression, ideologies of social antagonism, and the spectral phantasies that shadow these social phenomena. Building on this ethnographic foundation, I present a “cultural psychodynamic” account framed in terms of projective‐introjective dynamics (functioning at both the individual and social levels), arguing that the aggression dream serves as an experience structure in which inner and outer realities become deeply interwoven—often resulting in an increased sense of insecurity and existential threat. At its broadest level, this article is concerned with the affective dimensions of dream life, the processing of real affects and social relations within the register of phantasy, and the transposition of these phantasy‐laden feelings back into waking life, where they influence not only the individual's sense of well‐being, but the tenor of actual interpersonal relations.

“…In an earlier essay on the phenomenological foundation of psychoanalysis, the author coined the research program thus established "depth phenomenology"(Brudzińska, 2012).4 Bi-Valenz der Erfahrung therefore focuses on the egology of the individual, deliberately bracketing the intersubjective aspect. The author's interdisciplinary phenomenological-psychoanalytic research on intersubjectivity is presented elsewhere (e.g.,Brudzinska, 2012Brudzinska, , 2013Brudzinska, , 2019bBrudzinska, , 2022a.…”
