It was represented in the idea of a deep or sacred sleep that was brought about by the priests in the temples of hospitalization since the ancient state, and the aim of entering into this case was hospitalization and disclosure or enlightenment.
(Ansley Mears) says in his book: The nature, use, and misuse of hypnosis a few years ago I had completed a book on hypnosis and I thought it was a very modern idea and in fact many others thought that this was not that after I read an Egyptian papyrus translation in which there is something It expresses the same idea, so I realized that my view even of the idea was not as recent as I thought, so I added footnotes to the booklet showing that my colleagues from academics in ancient Egypt who lived in the second millennium BC had the same idea, and by returning to the nature of hypnosis for us the Greeks inherited The Egyptian idea and they served In their temples for healing, places in the Middle Ages, things changed, and this science became in the hands of magicians and charlatans, so the idea became as if it was the work of the devil until the coming of Franz Anton Mesmer in the eighteenth century and was an exceptional figure who used magnetic pieces in this process and practiced healing by suggestion and sleep, then After it came doctor James Pride who used the idea without using a magnet and was the first to redefine the process with sleep instead of Mesmerism, then Freud came and used it to explore the past of people to find out the causes of the disease, and this brings us back to the original where the Egyptians used sleep and suggestion by means Hymns and musicians for healing and foresight, where the community that believed in beyond the body, and that man has other aspects such as the brother of light and alba or the soul and the shadow and the revealer hidden power, as they probed the depths of dreams and wrote books for their interpretation which is a word expressed in the same word that means He woke up as they saw the dream as a state of spiritual awakening during sleep, so we find behind the word a looker eye, and they looked for death as a sleep-like condition, so put instructional and suggestive texts for the dead or the grave sleepers so we read, for example: O sleeper turn around in this place that you do not know but I know him ". "We still haven't discovered the secrets of this marvellous civilization, and understand the secrets of their mysterious sleep world," says Michael Billiard, a neuroscience professor.
