(Lupins and Geums)

I dreamt of being in my parents house at noon, but it was dark outside. I remember my parents saying that it was because of the weather, and that it might snow (which is unusual where they live), but I went outside and it was much darker than what could be attributed to the weather.

It was as dark as the dead of night, and I spotted a place in the sky where it looked like there was the sun, except it was faint ring around the totality of a solar eclipse, and light escaping was even dimmer than would be normal for that. There apparently was something passing in front of the sun as one sees in a solar eclipse, however, as it moved away from the sun, what was left behind of the sun was very dim, and interestingly there also was a dim ring of light around the sun separate from this super dim version of the sun.

There then appeared these undulating orbs in the center of the sun that were brighter, and they increased in intensity and speed of movement. They turned into these stars of light that were either eight pointed stars or four pointed stars that were in diameter perhaps about a sixth of the diameter of this much dimmer sun (less dim than the moon). These stars rotated counterclockwise around the sun at an accelerating speed, and as they got faster, they also got brighter. Throughout all of this, the sun was a beautiful gold color.

When I first saw the three days of darkness in this dream, I remember feeling regret that it was happening while I was still in sin. But I then realized it probably was a dream, because I have now had many dreams of this exact event. Nevertheless, the dream felt very real, so real that when the actual three days of darkness comes and I watch it with my own eyes, I probably will also think it is a dream and it will take me a bit to realize that it actually is happening.

I then woke up and was lying down with my eyes closed, when I heard a beautiful female voice that sounded real, as if it was from a real person in my room. The voice spoke of how people would be taken out of the world in a “layout”. They discussed how people hardly could be expected to plan for this event (the darkness I had just dreamt of), and so they would all be taken away instantly. They discussed this also happening on plains – as if people would be on plains and then teleported out of this world – which I presume is important because there naturally is a fear of being on a plane when the three days of darkness happens. I also had a flash vision of stick figures in a building being taken out of the buildings, and I knew this represented people being taken out of this world.

I felt as though this voice was describing a dream that I was supposed to be having when it first started talking about this. Except I wasn’t having the dream – I just heard the voice narrating my dream about these people being taken out of the world and giving a justification that this would happen because people hardly could be expected to plan for this event, since (as the voice said) they can’t even plan where they will land next.

Odd Dreams

I dreamt of being on a yacht where I learned about a dark seer who was from the same family as me. Because this seer was a servant of the evil one, it was granted to him that the dome of the sky over us was taken off from his sight so that he could see what was behind it – the truth of the night.

I dreamt of talking to my mom about how Tracy Twyman predicted the three days of darkness, which she was interested in because she believed in other things Twyman has written about (in reality my mom doesn’t know about Twyman and almost certainly would think Twyman is crazy).

I had a dream of my brother saying the end of the world would happen on February 1^st of 2025, which is odd (perhaps I have the year wrong for this). He also said that the rook would kill the bishop, which in my system means that greed will kill justice (or in the updated system of ageiou means sloth would kill justice).

I also dreamt that “[]ching” was like a pawn that causes magic in my game ageiou, and dreamt vaguely of magic but I felt that the system of labelling pieces was actually in alignment. To note, by “labelling pieces”, I think this refers to the virtue gloss in my game that I added right before I went to sleep after feeling inspired to do so immediately.

I also dreamt of a hunchback piece in the 8 by 8 square which I thought was an ethno-class piece. Because of this, I made the piece that makes portals be hunchback and placed it in the second and ninth files (the board is 10×10) – which greatly improved the game because this made every back-row piece be defended by another one. Later on, I actually swapped the appearance of pieces, so actually the knight is the hunchback instead, but this dream was part of the process of how I made the pieces be arranged on the board.

Discussion

I wrote  “[]ching” in my notes because I knew I had forgotten the first letter. I think this might be I Ching, which interestingly is a magic system that Tracy Twyman also links to pawns in her book Clock Shavings.

Regarding the dream of the sun turning into stars, this fits into other dreams of mine in which I see the sun rapidly transforming when I think the three days of darkness is happening – which I discuss further in Only Europe Survives and the Moon.
