Hippocrates: Dreams of Healing


Hippokrates of Kos (ca. 460 BC – ca. 370 BC)

Inductions to be derived from natural dreams, from which to attain a knowledge of the good or bad state of the body…


To see the sun, moon and heavens and stars clear and birth, each in the proper order, ..to see and hear clearly the things of the earth, to walk surely, to run surely, quickly and without fear,.. to see the earth level and well tilled, tress that are luxuriant, covered with fruit and cultivated, rivers flowing naturally, with water that is pure, and neither higher nor lower than should be, and springs and wells that are similar.
