What the Ancient Dream Healing Temples Can Teach Us

Existing for some 1,500 years, over 300 dream sanctuaries operated throughout the Mediterranean world. These unusual healing centers combined sacred architecture, art, healing baths, massage, music, cathartic theatre, food, psychospiritual ritual, and even sports performance to orchestrate a provocative healing environment for the thousands who would pilgrimage to these centers each year.

In these temples special techniques were used to cultivate particular kinds of dreams that were useful to diagnose and cure diseases. Modern western medicine derives its symbol — a staff encircled by a serpent — from these early practices. Even still today, graduating doctors taking the Hippocratic Oath swear to the ancient god, Asclepius, after whom these temples were built.

Symbol of the World Health Association

Len Worley, Ph.D., recently visited the largest and most famous of all healing temples of the ancient world — located outside Athens in Epidaurus, Greece.
