Origin & Lore

Dream oils belong to a long tradition of preparing the body and bedroom for meaningful dreams, from temple sleep in the ancient world to dream pillows in folk magick. This oil is worn before bed to encourage vivid, remembered and prophetic dreaming.

Dream incubation, sleeping in a sacred place to receive a message, was practised in Greek temples of Asclepius more than two thousand years ago.

In Greek myth, Hypnos is the god of sleep and Morpheus one of the gods of dreams, who takes human shape in sleepers’ visions.

The Asclepieia, healing sanctuaries of the Greek world, were famous for dream incubation, in which visitors slept in the temple hoping for a dream from the god.
