Description: "The central theme is that every human being has at least two souls: one is his life-spirit which gives him breath and keeps him alive and the other is his dream soul. When he is alive, a man's dream soul will leave his body at night; and it is the wanderings and adventures of the dream soul which are pictured in a man's dreams. After death, the life-spirit or the life-soul must perish; but the dream soul survives and after some days, when the funeral ceremonies have been concluded, it sets out on its journey to the next world."
