Film8 min2026
Four thousand years ago a ruler of Lagash dreamed of a giant, and woke with a temple to build.
UNBOUND follows ancient dreaming from Gudea's temple and the dream books of Babylon and Egypt through Pharaoh, Daniel and the dreams of Matthew's Gospel, Homer's gates of horn and ivory, Artemidorus and Macrobius, and Cicero's Dream of Scipio. Rev Benton's reading: the mystics treated sleep as a doorway, where trained awareness can explore the inner cosmos.
