Premonition, History and Dream: The Battle of Clavijo

Abstract

Since the human being was able to reflect, he understood that dreams were a fundamental phenomenon in his relationships with himself and with the world around him. Based on the innovative perspective of Helios Jaime-Ramírez on the dream, as well as on his theory about ideosemantics, we will approach the well-known legend of the battle of Clavijo, included in Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada’s De Rebus Hispaniae, written in the thirteenth century, also known as History of the Facts of Spain. In the chronicle, it is said that King Ramiro I had a dream that gave rise to an event deeply rooted in popular culture. Our purpose will be to analyze that dream from the perspective of the ideosemantics, by relating the correspondence between psychophysiology and sleep.
