FORECAST EQUATIONS ANIMAL DREAMS BETWEEN JAVANESE AND AMERICAN PEOPLE AS GUGON TUHON OR SUPERSTITION


Introduction

Talking about culture certainly will never be finished. In a row of growing culture of human life on earth. According to Edward B Taylor cultures is a complex whole, which is contained inside knowledge, belief, art, morals, laws, customs, and other capabilities acquired by a person as a member of the community. Culture has existed since the beginning of human civilization that inhabits this earth. With time then the culture will continue to grow. Until now we see how advanced a civilization with the modern culture. Although modern culture had been able to be felt for many people, but the old culture is still attached to all aspects of human life.

Some aspects of the old culture in a society still maintained, though not a few aspects of the culture was lost or abandoned due to intentional or by mistake. One aspect of language which is long for the missing is language. Language will continue to be used as human life can not be separated from communication activities. The cultural aspect is easy to be replaced is related to the equipment or technology. As the development of the technology age will continue to innovate. Old technology will be replaced with new technology. Old technology that feel less efficiently to save time and replaced with better technology in terms of time and efficient.

Cultural aspects of vulnerable enough to experience a change is trust. Trust is meant here is not about religion in general. We know that the early ancestors of the trust the Indonesian nation is animism and dynamism. Later developed into Hinduism and Buddhism with the distribution by the Brahmins of India. Trust of animism and dynamism is replaced with a belief in god. This belief lasted long enough to reach the kingdom of the peak majapahit glory to realize the concept of the archipelago. After that Be in the archipelago of Islam propagated by the merchants from the Persian assisted by their guardians. This new trust is not taken for granted by society at that time. So the role of guardian to help spread the religion of Islam with the method to be very effective acculturation.

Belief in question here did not enter the area of religion in general. But this belief is part of the cultural aspects of the archipelago in the world even concerning the Old Wife Tales or the parents advice. This belief is partly understandable since it relates directly to the ancestors. But some people who are clad in modern culture reject this belief because it is something irrational and illogical. In the Java community trust is known as gugon tuhon. Etymologically Gugon tuhon may come from 'gugon' - ngguggu, followed; and 'tuhon' - a variation of the lord, god, the lord but, that may not be in power.

Tuhon is Gugon or schools of belief, which is not be based on reason or knowledge (nature), this term often underestimate the trust of people who have not considered common sense. So gugon tuhon often termed "Old Wive Tale". Usually gugon tuhon connected with things such as luck (hockey), prophecy, and dream interpretation in particular. Trust is without foundation as to what will happen by looking at previous events or collectively, the term post hoc propter hoc (happened after that, then it must be caused by)

In western languages gugon tuhon termed "superstitio" (English "superstition"), which literally means "stand on", but that the meaning of continuity means "wonder", "fear" and especially the fear of things outside ( supernatural). This word was used by Cicero, Livius and Ovidius in the first century BC. Gugon tuhon is not much written as literature. However gugon tuhon always delivered orally and occurs continuously into the next generation. Gugon tuhon and superstition have the same meaning as the trust or the related schools of the post hoc propter hoc.
Formulation problem

Each cultural aspects must be general or owned by any society, including gugon tuhon. Gugon tuhon not only owned by a person or Java alone. But even Chinese Americans also have something that is believed to be hereditary, although contrary to logic or common sense. Gugon tuhon includes several procedures such as gugon tuhon living in the ceremonies, the procedures in everyday life, to the prediction. In this simple paper will be presented on superstition or related gugon tuhon about prophecy dream.

Divination dream already known at the time of the Prophet. Then developed to kings. There is no research that can demonstrate scholarship dream prophecy. But the fact is until now the dream is still believed to predictions by some people in any hemisphere. Javanese society today there are many who believe in the prophecy dreams, but most also reject it because the very contrary to common sense and religion. Divination dream or better known Java community with dream interpretation is not only known by the Java community itself. Western society, especially American nor fully reject the prediction that dream. Dream predictions explain about the sign if someone is having a dream. Surely most diverse dreams someone. Starting from the encounter with others, the encounter with an event, objects, or animals.

Are there similarities or superstition gugon tuhon associated with the predictions of dreams about animals among the American people of Java in general?
