Il sogno: un punto di vista neurologico

  • Chapter
Book cover Psicoanalisi e Neuroscienze

Estratto

Nell’antichità i sogni erano spesso considerati di origine soprannaturale e si riteneva che, consentendo una comunicazione diretta con gli dèi, potessero comunicare suggerimenti riguardo all’immediato futuro (sogni profetici e premonitori). Presso gli Egizi, i Greci e i Romani gli interpreti dei sogni, che operavano in luoghi come quello dell’oracolo di Delfi, erano personaggi apprezzati e potenti. Gli Egizi (il più antico libro dei sogni di cui si abbia conoscenza risale alla 12a dinastia, 2000 a.C.) quando soffrivano di malattie o sterilità erano soliti andare ai cosiddetti luoghi di incubazione, per esempio il tempio di Menfi, il tempio di Toth a Khimunu o il tempio di Hathor sul monte Sinai, per poter fare sogni significativi e auspicabilmente utili. L’idea dei sogni profetici compare anche nella Bibbia, per esempio nel libro della Genesi, in cui Giuseppe interpreta correttamente i sogni del Faraone.
