𓋹 Dreaming with Het-Heru (Hathor) - Dream Incubation in ancient Egypt 𓋹
Wednesday 27.8. - 7 - 10 pm CEST via Zoom
𓋹 In ancient Egypt, sacred Dream Temples offered a unique form of healing and guidance through dream incubation — a ritual sleep performed inside temple sanctuaries. Among the most important of these sites was the Temple of Het-Heru (Hathor) at Dendera, known for its strong connection to lunar cycles and celestial symbolism.
𓋹 The Dendera complex, located on the west bank of the Nile, features one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. It was built to honor Hathor — goddess of healing, music, and fertility — and was closely linked to the moon through its rooftop zodiac and lunar alignment rituals. Archaeological findings suggest the temple functioned as both a spiritual center and a site for healing ceremonies involving sound, scent, and sleep-based rituals.
𓋹 There is a world within us—quiet, shadowed, and deeply lunar—where our dreams, emotions, and hidden stories live. This inner realm often holds the wounds and mysteries we don’t yet see, waiting to be gently awakened and healed. Hathor, as the radiant Goddess of Sun and Moon, brings her bright light into this lunar darkness.
𓋹 Het-Heru, associated with beauty, music, and the celestial realms, was honored in ancient Egypt as a guide between worlds—light and shadow, waking and dreaming. Her temple at Dendera was a place where inner vision and divine connection were cultivated through sacred sleep and ritual.
𓋹 The hypnagogic state—the liminal space between waking and sleep—is a powerful gateway for inner work. In this threshold state, the mind relaxes its grip on logic, allowing symbols, insights, and messages from the unconscious and the divine to emerge. This is the space where active dreaming occurs—a form of conscious inner tr

The Sleeping and Lucid Dreaming in Ancient Egypt
Did the Ancient Egyptians know about Lucid Dreaming?
One of the strangest artifacts displayed at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo is a group of statues showing sleeping women.
The meaning behind depicting women in this way can be understood in the context of "healing sleep," which was one of the known practices in Ancient Egypt since the earliest times, and it reached its peak during the Hellenistic era.
The term might sound strange to us, because our knowledge about sleep is very limited. In fact, sleep is a far more complex phenomenon than we imagine—so much so that scientists who study it refer to their work as "the study of sleep architecture."
This means that they see sleep as an architectural structure—built from many levels, filled with chambers, corridors, and passageways.
Dreams, too, aren’t as simple or superficial as we think. Sometimes, there’s a dream within a dream; a door that opens to another door; a hallway that leads to a deeper one— forming a chain of layers that ultimately lead to the deepest levels of the unconscious.
