IV Message from the Dean Welcome to the Faculty of Dentistry at The University of Sydney. I hope you will find your time with us to be a student-friendly preparation for a rewarding career in a close-knit and supportive profession. This is an exciting time for us as the Faculty has embarked on a new educational philosophy and embraced the concepts of self- directed problem-based learning and of self-evaluation in education with an aim to promoting excellence in Dentistry. As a student within the Faculty of Dentistry, your educational experience will involve a blend of basic and clinical, medical and dental science, and dental and clinical practice based on a comprehensive care approach. You will also have the opportunity to develop skills like critical analysis, reasoning, team work and problem solving to help you prepare for your professional career and for your life-long learning. In these pages you will find described a wide array of basic science and clinical subjects taught in different ways by different people in different locations. Wherever they are and whatever their discipline, members of teaching staff are committed to your education and to your evolution to an ethical, empathetic, scientifically informed, clinically competent dental practitioner. Your challenge will be to allow us to help you bring all of this tuition and life experience together. During your course you will be required to attend the two major teaching hospitals of the Faculty: the United Dental Hospital and the Westmead Centre for Oral Health. We will expect of you the kind of honourable and mature behaviour associated with a caring profession in settings in which the University is a guest, albeit an honoured one. You will be accorded significant privileges in these two institutions, and the Faculty will require you to honour these privileges. Our expectation will be that you respect both the patients you treat and the staff who help make your patient treatment experience possible. Again, welcome to the Faculty and to the University. I hope you will involve yourself fully in all that is offered to you. We have a common goal in your preparation for a professional life, and in your successful contribution to the future wellbeing of the community. Keith S Lester, Dean v vi 1 Staff As at 3 March 2003.

Renberg Few sites in the Greco-Roman world provide a more richly varied set of documents attesting to the importance of dreams in personal religion than the cluster of religious complexes situated on the Saqqâra bluff west of Memphis.2 The area consists primarily of temples and sacred animal necropoleis linked to several cults, most notably the famous Sarapeum complex,3 and has produced inscriptions, papyri and ostraka that cite or even recount dreams received by various individuals, while literary sources preserved on papyrus likewise contain descriptions of god-sent dreams received there.4 The abundant evidence for dreams and dreamers at Saqqâra, as well as the evidence for at least one conventional oracle at the site,5 has led to the understandable assumption that incubation was commonly practiced there.6 However, 1 Acknowledgements: In addition to those who attended the presentation of this paper at the Congress of Papyrology, I would like to thank Dorothy J.
