This talk will unpack the tenuous ways in which we might appreciate religiously-inspired dreams as queer visions of life. Thinking across an account my own dreams and those of an interlocutor – a woman mystic in Pakistan – it asks how dreams endure as forces of unstraightness and/or gender-trouble in waking life; how dreamers embroil themselves in knotty processes with more-than-human figures; or the ways in which a sense of solidarity is cultivated across spatial-temporal divides through the fold of the dream. By such turning to Islamic-mystical visions, it pursues the idea that dreaming is not so much a technology for divination as it is that companionable form and technique by which we upend impasses of the here and now, respond to the incompleteness of the present. In other words, dreams taken seriously are queer-affective forces through which our ties to the world are made, unmade and remade.
