A dream incubation app that recreates the evening rite of the Asclepian sanctuaries, with a morning dream journal.
ContactAsclepius, in a dream
The Epidauros cure stelae; Pausanias; Aelius Aristides
The evening rite of the Asclepian sanctuaries in six stages, purification, offering, prayer and lying down on sacred ground, followed by a morning dream report kept as a private stele.
Ways in: Incubation, Chant and drone, Binaural entrainment. Every session is carried on binaural sound tuned toward theta, the slow rhythm of the edge of sleep that these rites were built to reach. More on the state.
Incubation is contact at sleep onset. The petitioner crossed into the hypnagogic state deliberately, expecting a visit. That threshold, where waking thought gives way to images, is the most theta-rich state a healthy person passes through every night.
