THE DREAMING Symposium Athens, 2023

The Dreaming Symposium in Athens is a week of talks, workshops, performances and events that explore the worlds of sleep and dreams. From cutting edge sleep science and medicine, to the imaginal realms of dreams and the history and culture of dreams as medicine and oracular magic in the ancient world.

“What power would hell have if those here imprisoned were not able to dream of heaven?”

— Sandman #4. Neil Gaiman and Sam Kieth.

Join us for a balmy week in the beautiful land of divine dream physician Asklepios, of the Titaness of dream remembrance - Mnemosyne, of the Oneiroi, Morpheus and Hypnos. Join us in honouring the ancient dream gods. Join us as we reactivate the sleep temples of old.
