More about the book
The book explores the ancient practice of dream incubation, where pilgrims sought divine visions by sleeping in sacred temples. Visitors would journey to these sanctuaries, where priests, skilled in dream interpretation, would care for them. They prepared the pilgrims for sleep using miraculous waters and soothing herbal concoctions, aiming to facilitate oracular dreams. This unique ritual highlights the intersection of spirituality, medicine, and the quest for knowledge in antiquity.
