![The Dream of Scipio [w/ Latin and English Text]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IPEcjN4ksBU/hqdefault.jpg "The Dream of Scipio [w/ Latin and English Text]
Believe it or not, Marcus Tullius Ciceros Somnium Scipionis or The Dream of Scipio is one of Western Esotericisms most foundational documents. Drawn from Book VI of Ciceros Republic, it describes the famous night journey and astral ascent of the Roman general Scipio Aemilianus, two years before he oversaw the sack of Carthage in 146 BC. Modeled on Platos Myth of Er and emulated during the Middle Ages by such visionary works as Dantes Divine Comedy, this ancient text provides us with a vivid vision of Stoic-inspired soul-travel by ancient Romes single most eloquent rhetorician.
