It explores how these ideas and interpretations are connected to the perceived agency of the dead, as experienced by my interlocutors in their dreams. Focusing on ideas about the afterlife within alternative spirituality, the article discusses why these beliefs have regained significance and how they have been reinterpreted in relation to modern/secular and religious explanations. By analysing the beliefs of individuals engaged in alternative spiritualities regarding the afterlife, it explores how these ideas shape their understanding of dreams featuring personally known deceased individuals. As beliefs about the afterlife influence how individuals perceive the state of the dead, it examines how these beliefs enable the dead to have agency upon the interlocutors in their dreams. The findings are based on ethnographic research conducted with spiritual individuals in Sarajevo and Banja Luka in Bosnia and HerzegovinaČlanek preučuje povezavo med predstavami o posmrtnem življenju in razumevanjem sanj o bližnjih mrtvih med pripadniki alternativnih duhovnosti v Bosni in Hercegovini. Raziskuje, kako so te predstave in interpretacije povezane z vplivom, ki ga imajo nanje mrtvi. S poudarkom na predstavah o posmrtnem življenju v alternativni duhovnosti članek obravnava, zakaj so ta verovanja znova pridobila na pomenu in kako so bila reinterpretirana v razmerju do modernih/sekularnih ter religioznih razlag. Z analizo predstav o posmrtnem življenju pokaže, kako ta prepričanja oblikujejo njihovo razumevanje sanj, v katerih se pojavljajo mrtvi. Ker prepričanja o posmrtnem življenju vplivajo na to, kako posamezniki dojemajo stanje mrtvih v onstranstvu, članek preučuje, kako ta verovanja omogočajo, da imajo mrtvi v sanjah določen vpliv na sogovornike. Ugotovitve temeljijo na etnografski raziskavi, opravljeni med pripadniki alternativnih duhovnosti v Sarajevu in Banjaluki v Bosni in HercegoviniTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZRC SAZU
