OOO: We are hosting our first Dream Incubation retreat on the Turkish island of Bozcaada! A week of dreaming, writing, noticing, and creating — guided by the lost principles of the Asklepion Dream Incubation temples of Ancient Greece, built from 5BCE to 300CE along the Aegean and Mediterranean seas. The ruins of the original temples dot the shores surrounding Bozcaada — and this week Sarah’s home on the island will be our reimagined dream temple! Follow along all week in our stories.

Postcard from Bozcaada 💌
After living in Turkey for a decade, INCUBATIO founder Sarah and her family moved to Ojai, California – but continue return to the Turkish island of Bozcaada each summer.
The ruins of the original Asklepion Dream Incubation temples dot nearby Aegean shorelines – and the idea for INCUBATIO (a design laboratory guided by lost Asklepion principles) was sparked here.
Visiting the Asklepion temple ruins in 2021, Sarah was moved by the resonance of this ancient healing practice (and the need for more of it in our modern lives). A filmmaker & documentary producer, Sarah felt drained by the pursuit of external success, grappling with health challenges ironically linked to these achievements. The ancient art of Dream Incubation offered a refreshing approach to the Creative Life, revealing an Oracular tradition where the Oracle is within you. Or, in other words, the roadmap to an aligned life is inside of you. We created INCUBATIO to guide the modern world back to this place.
On the island, we are incubating, restoring an experiential space as a modern dream temple, planning our first Dream Incubation retreat, and designing a future product collection that we can’t wait to share soon.
The ancient mythology of Bozcaada is as rich and layered as its soil. Resting on the direct wind path between Mt Ida and Mt Olympus, we feel the Poyraz wind whistle the Gods’ electric affairs back and forth each morning. We stare up at stars from Goztepe: the same hill where Cleostratus first sketched the Zodiac. We swim with Homer’s sea nymphs and glimpse Poseidon’s stables across the sea. On our walk home, we pass Pegasus’ storied barn, and pick handfuls of Aegean poppies to make elixirs from recipes left behind by Goddesses.
It’s a dreamy place to spend summer days. We hope you're meeting your own muses wherever you rest and revel this season.

Asklepion Dream Incubation Temples were sites of unprecedented personal power, granting access to the depths of the Dreamworld, where universal wisdom is available to all who enter.
The ancients travelled far and wide for the profound insights revealed in dreams.
From the 5the century BCE to the 3rd century CE, over 300 dream temples were built. These campuses are where Hippocrates learned and taught medicine, and the practice of Incubatio was widely known as “temple sleep.”
In the 3rd century CE, Christian rulers deemed this inexhaustible spring of clarity and inner agency, in the hands of ordinary dreamers, to be… dangerous.
By 300 CE, all of the temples had been destroyed.
We created @incubatio_ to put the power of dreams, desires, and imagination back into everybody’s hands. Follow along as we restore the Dream Temples.

“Only you will be able to say what part of you is represented by this symbol if it appears in your dream—for it is your own unconscious that holds the clues. But you may be sure that if you give it its place, and hear what it has to say, it will be revealed as a valuable part of your inner self.” – Robert A. Johnson, “Inner Work”
Dreams are our soul’s language. And symbols are the vocabulary.
Inside the ancient Asklepion Dream Incubation temples, symbols of the healing god Asklepios were everywhere. They enlivened the mythology and played a profound role in sparking psychological and spiritual change inside templegoers.
Today, science is proving that symbols in our dreams activate the brain’s emotional centers, fostering creativity and problem-solving and helping us make connections between seemingly unrelated ideas.
In other words, the art of Dreaming invites us to set aside rational logic and to strike up a conversation with our Subconscious.

We all dream. But most of us have forgotten how to listen.
Dreams are not just throwaway riddles, Matthew Walker explains in “Why We Sleep,” they are a vital process for cognitive and emotional well-being, creating connections that spark clarity and creativity. The ancients understood this – and considered the dream world as real and significant as the waking one.
Your dreams are the language of the psyche, and if you listen, you can uncover profound insights. When the analytical part of your brain quiets down during sleep, your soul communicates through dreams, and taps you into one of the most potent sources of creativity.
Paul McCartney dreamt the lyrics of “Yesterday.” Einstein’s Theory of Relativity came to him through a dream. Mary Shelley imagined Frankenstein in her sleep. And 72 of 83 recently surveyed Nobel laureates, celebrated for their contributions across diverse fields, attribute their success to intuition—those creative connections made in the realm of the subconscious.
Dreams guide us back into the Creative Life. What will you create there?
