Oneiromancy (from Greek oneiros, dream) treats sleep as a threshold where hidden truths surface. In ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece, dreams were considered direct messages from gods or the dead. Dream incubation — sleeping in a sacred precinct to receive a prophetic vision — was practiced at Asclepius temples. Artemidorus of Daldis wrote a systematic dream dictionary (Oneirocritica, 2nd century CE) still referenced by analysts today. Symbols are read against personal context: a snake may mean healing or danger depending on the dreamer's life.
