ABSTRACT
The New Age movement has adopted or revived a number of spiritual and healing practices from other cultures, both past and present. One such practice is the use of dreams and dreaming as a source of both guidance and therapy. While the practices and ideas surrounding dreams are often drawn from non-Western cultures, there has also been a revival of interest in the ancient Greek practices of Asclepian dream healing, particularly through the work of Dr. Edward Tick, an American psychotherapist. Through his writings and through organized pilgrimages to Greece, Tick has sought to connect to ancient spiritual sites and mythology, focusing on dreams in order to effect physical, psychological, and spiritual healing among the participants in these journeys.
