Sleeping in the temple of healing

In the temples of Asclepius, people seeking healing slept in a sanctuary called the abaton, hoping for a dream that would guide them. Today, researchers at MIT showed that a theme suggested at the edge of sleep can steer what people dream about. Baku's "tonight's intention" is a playful modern version: choose what you would like to dream about, and see in the morning if it showed up.
