Dream Songs 



The following is the dream song of a man who painted liis face with 

 charcoal and endured a fast of ten days. At the end of that time he 

 dreamed that he saw clouds rising in the south. There were manido' 

 in the clouds who spoke to him, saying, "Brother, come here with 

 US. " So the man went up into the clouds. There he saw the thunder- 

 birds, who taught him this song which they were singing.
