When Lucrecia was still a teenager, several Catholic priests took great interest in her prolific dreams and began to record them in detail. But the growing public attention to the dreams eventually became too much for the Spanish king. Stung that Lucrecia had accurately foreseen the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, Philip II ordered the Inquisition to arrest her on charges of heresy and sedition. During Lucrecia''s imprisonment, trial, and torture, the carefully collected records of her dreams were preserved and analyzed by the court. The authenticity of these dreams, and their potentially explosive significance, became the focal point of the Church''s investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturning to these records of a dreamer from another era, \u003ci\u003eLucrecia \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An excellent scholarly work, \u003ci\u003eLucrecia the Dreamer\u003c\/i\u003e reads like a novel of political and religious intrigue, for the scenes are stranger than fiction—even though they are a matter of historical record. Anyone interested in dreams should read this book.\"—Patrick McNamara, Boston University and Northcentral University\u003cbr\u003e\"Structured like a police procedural and delightful to read, \u003ci\u003eLucrecia the Dreamer\u003c\/i\u003e employs concepts from psychology, anthropology, and history to situate Lucrecia de León in a broader human story about the power of dreaming. Given the difficulties of crossing disciplinary boundaries while maintaining the integrity of each discipline's rules of analysis, Kelly Bulkeley's achievement is most impressive.\"—Leslie Tuttle, Louisiana State University\u003cbr\u003e\"While Lucrecia's personal story becomes the framework on which the fault-lines of Spanish society are displayed, Bulkeley sees a bigger picture....4\/5 stars\"—Bob Rickard, \u003ci\u003eFortean Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Bulkeley's book presents an intriguing micro-history that illuminates life in late sixteenth-century Madrid and suggests the potential value of incorporating cognitive and digital approaches to scholarship on early modern events and texts. Bulkeley portrays Lucrecia as a living, breathing person, and he attempts to reconstruct her lived experiences, both waking and sleeping. His multifaceted analyses may indicate new paths for studying other visionaries and mystics of Golden-Age Spain.\"—Teresa Hancock-Parmer, \u003ci\u003eBulletin of Spanish Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e  Historical Prologue\u003cbr\u003e  1.
