Dream Incubation Retreat
Healing, wisdom, and premonitions have been known to come from dreams since the beginning of time. Dreams are a way that we connect with the unconscious, the spirit world, and the mysteries of life itself. Tibetan Buddhists have practiced dream yoga and lucid dreaming, Mayans have practiced dream quests and dreamspell, and the Greeks have practiced dream incubation for thousands of years. Healing through dreams is a lost ancient wisdom practice that Melanie Ryan offers to those who wish to use this method for healing and spiritual growth. This retreat focuses on the use of ancient Greek methods of dream healing.
Melanie will create a sacred “dream chamber” for your personal retreat. Fasting, prayer, and clear intention is made prior to your dream incubation. The process is at least four days. Dream healing is used to invoke visions, wisdom, and healing. It involves spirit guides and learning from Visions and psychic experiences.
Melanie learned this ancient Greek dream healing art from the renowned psychotherapist and healer, Ed Tick, Ph.D., author of book, The Practice of Dream Healing, who has used dream healing for over thirty years to heal PTSD among combat war veterans. Melanie trained with Ed Tick in Greece in 2019 and for a second time in 2024, where she and her son Justin Bodhi Steigmeier were filmed in the upcoming documentary Remembering the Soul.
