Soul Medicine: Healing through Dream Incubation, Visions, Oracles, and Pilgrimage

Edward Tick, Ph.D., resurrects and restores the sacred, mythological, and cultural origins of medicine and psychotherapy by exploring the soul-healing practices missing in contemporary health systems. He examines the dream incubation tradition of Asklepios, sacred theater of Dionysos, oracle gifting of Apollo, special practices of warriors, and their roots in Neolithic shamanism and indigenous traditions. Dream incubation is a technique that plants a seed for a specific healing or growth goal.
