Dream as Sanctuary
A dream not interpreted is like a letter unread. – Babylonian Talmud
Incubation, from the latin incubatio (temple sleep in Latin) means « sleeping in the sanctuary » and was practiced in grottos. In therapeutic incubation, the sick would come to a tempe dedicated to the God of medecine and would lie on an animal skin, in the adyton, in order to sleep, after having received instructions from priests recommending to them to be particularly attentive to what the God’s face would look like, were it to appear in their dreams. is a new writing project about dreams.
