Analysis.—In this song the fourth is raised a semitone. The song 
contains all the tones of the octave except the seventh and is har- 
monic in structure. The progressions number 44, somewhat more 
than the usual number in Ute songs. Only four of these intervals 
are larger than a minor third. 
The following is an example of an old dream song. As indicated 
in the songs of the Bear dance, it is not unusual for young men at 
the present time to “receive songs in dreams.’ (See p. 60.) This 
song, however, was recorded by Kanay (pl. 10, 6), an aged man, 
who said that his uncle “dreamed” it and that he used to sing it 
when he was alone. The words were not recorded, but were said to 
mean “ We are playing along the shore.”
