Thrown Out Of The Temple of Sleep?
Oct 10, 2023Our sacred relationship to dreams in the West seems to have been destroyed starting in the 14th century.
After centuries ofｉｍｍｅｎｓｅ high regard afforded to this nightly portal:

The research of Andrew Holecek, Buddhist Dream Yogi & teacher, points to a few key figures that shifted the narrative.
One Saint Gerome deliberately mistranslating Hebrew Texts and altering the Bible - to prohibit Christians from observing dreams!This one translation had a HUGELY negative impact on how the West related to this massive part of our lives.
Saint Aquinas picked this up - proclaiming the only way to know reality was through sense evidence and rational thought. Even later, in 1598 the Jesuit Priest Benedict Verarias proclaimed most dreams should be entirely discredited and were the work of the Devil!𝕋ℍ𝔼 𝔾𝕆𝕆𝔻 𝕆𝕃𝔻 𝔻𝔸ℝ𝕂 𝔸𝔾𝔼𝕊
So, the Western Church fathers actively suppressed dreams as dangerous.
(no doubt, especially those erotic ones that could trip monks into spilling their seed with night- time emissions.) Wouldn't want to have to take responsibility for those.
So, we have been left with a legacy of dreams fallen from grace. Our culture tells us they are either inconsequential, purely entertainment or at worst DANGEROUS.
This attitude in the West lasted ...

Until the late 1800s, when Freud and then Jung did so much to restore the place of dreams into a space of enquiry and importance in the West.
