Sunday, November 8 • 5 PM - 7 PM GMT
For nearly 2,000 years, people from across the ancient Greek world journeyed to Elefsis to take part in rites so sacred and secret that their true nature remains debated today. At the heart of the Eleusinian Mysteries was an encounter with living myth, death and the divine. Pilgrims travelled 22 kilometres from Athens to Elefsis, fasted and gathered inside the darkened Telesterion...

dreamworld philosophies
Wed 2nd Dec 2026
The experience of dreaming is wildly different from dreamer to dreamer and from dream to dream. Almost everyone dreams nightly, but many forget their dreams entirely upon waking, or only experience fragmentary, vague forms. The digital dimensions, and daily distractions of modern life seem to have resulted in a real
desertification of natural dreamspace for many.
The curious, the questing, and those who have never known vivid dreams, have often sought novel ways of entering oneiric otherworlds. Now you can even go to the extreme of purchasing a 10k ticket to hang out with ‘DMT entities’ in the Akashic circus tent for an afternoon. These type of DMTx journeys are made possible by intravenous administration and can produce a prolonged psychedelic state lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. They are often facilitated by a constellation of tech bros, corporate networkers, web marketers, salacious scientists, and en(theo)trepreneurs.
Something about dreaming is obviously absolutely essential to the human experience. In this talk and Q&A, Sarah Janes will discuss ancient Greek, Egyptian, and Mesopotamian conceptions of the dream, death, visionary realms, and entity encounters. She will compare these to psychedelic worlds, and discuss how the ancients may help us to understand, navigate, and integrate our sleeping and waking dreams.
This session will include a 20-minute guided hypnagogic meditation into dreamspace. Participants will receive a recording of the meeting and separate audio file with the meditation so you can listen offline.

ABOUT THE FULL COURSE
DREAM HIEROGLYPHS
x9 TWO-HOUR RECORDINGS WITH HOMEWORKING ACTIVITIES, GUIDED HYPNAGOGIC MEDITATION SESSIONS, AND ONLINE GROUP DREAMWORK SPACE
The series is a dream study of 9 very magical hieroglyphs.
All participants can attend live and will receive recordings of the 9 online sessions (each one will be two hours long starting at 6pm GMT), extra resource materials and video links, and invites to optional in-person meet-ups (London, Istanbul, Athens).
At the end of this course you will have a beautiful dreambook, full of potent and magical signs that will protect you whilst you sleep and dream.
You do not have to be a great artist to take part in this course, but I am sure you will discover that learning to draw the hieroglyphs, and contemplation of their multi-layered meaning, is a truly magical and meditative practice.
As I have discovered, this script is very sympathetic to dreaming. When I started studying Egyptian hieroglyphs I found them almost immediately popping up in my dreamspace.
Each session will explore a particular hieroglyph, its phonetic value, its inclusion in specific ancient Egyptian words, its etymology and associations, and deeper levels of meaning.
For each session you will draw a hieroglyph, meditate upon the image and record impressions in meditation and dreamstates. I have found that hieroglyphs reveal themselves in dreamsstates beautifully.
The hieroglyphs I have chosen to focus on are featured HERE - for me they represent some of the most potent and complex thoughtforms of the script, they are not just letters in a pictoral alphabet, they are protective, amuletic, and magical signs with complex layered meaning and represent the concept of the 'medu netjer' - the Egyptian name for the script (God's words) so well.
The world, the cosmos, is always communicating and history tells us the gods and goddesses speak to us most clearly to us in dreams.
I strongly recommend getting yourself a copy of Stephane Rossini's 'Egyptian Hieroglyphics' for scribal practice, as well as a proper scribal toolkit. Email me for suggestions for your scribal toolkit. Rossini's graphic book, pictured below with link, just has the best large and most useful illustrations of individual hieroglyphs, and is still my absolute favourite to work from.

Join me for a special 2-hour online session, in which we will explore ancient Egyptian dream magic.
Ancient Egyptian dream magic and the mythos that held these dreamworlds together. From Zep Tepi to Asklepios, Hathor, Sekhmet, Imhotep, Auset and more. The incubation tradition practiced at Saqqara (and probably Hermopolis). What separates the Duat from the dream dimension?
Please include your email address in your booking or email me at: sarahjanes@themysteries.org so I can send you the recording.
