Editing Dream interpretation (section)

===Classical Antiquity===
The [[ancient Greeks]] constructed temples they called [[Asclepieion]]s, where sick people were sent to be cured. It was believed that cures would be effected through [[divine grace]] by [[incubation (ritual)|incubating dreams]] within the confines of the temple. Dreams were also considered prophetic or [[omen]]s of particular significance. [[Artemidorus]] of Daldis, who lived in the 2nd century AD, wrote a comprehensive text ''[[Oneirocritica]]'' (''The Interpretation of Dreams'').<ref>Artemidorus (1990) The Interpretation of Dreams: Oneirocritica. White, R., trans., Torrance, CA: Original Books, 2nd Edition.</ref> Although Artemidorus believed that dreams can predict the future, he presaged many contemporary approaches to dreams. He thought that the meaning of a dream image could involve puns and could be understood by decoding the image into its component words. For example, Alexander, while waging war against the Tyrians, dreamt that a satyr was dancing on his shield. Artemidorus reports that this dream was interpreted as follows: satyr = ''sa tyros'' ("Tyre will be thine"), predicting that Alexander would be triumphant. Freud acknowledged this example of Artemidorus when he proposed that dreams be interpreted like a rebus.<ref name="Freud, S. 1900">Freud, S. (1900) ''The Interpretation of Dreams.''
