Living tradition
Dream interpretation
Ancient Greece (Artemidorus), Eastern Europe and all folk tradition.
Dream symbols (water, flying, falling, house) are read with an inherited dictionary and with the dreamer's own life.
How it's done
- 01Write the dream down on waking, before speaking.
- 02Underline the symbols and the emotion.
- 03Ask what in your life resembles it.
With your own tools
A notebook by the bed is worth more than any dictionary.
With Ocluna
Tell Ocluna your dream in your own words; it finds the symbols and suggests the thread that joins them.
What Madame Iselda tells you
- Artemidorus of Daldis wrote the first great dream dictionary in the 2nd century; Freud read and quoted it in 1899.
- In ancient Greece people slept in temples of Asclepius to receive a healing dream; the practice was called incubation.
- Carl Jung recorded and illustrated his own dreams for sixteen years in a red notebook, the Liber Novus, published only in 2009.
- In Antiquity true dreams were believed to pass through a gate of horn and deceptive ones through a gate of ivory, as Homer tells in the Odyssey.
