Godhead dream anology

Post » Wed Jun 26, 2013 11:31 am

From what I have seen in the amaranth threads, the basic idea is that the ES setting is likened to a "dream" from a entity called "Godhead", perhaps in a state of sensory deprivation, what certainly would estimulate its "fantasy".

Combining that with the Kalpa concept, anyone has ever thought that previous Kalpas are actually former "dreams" of the Godhead, and that the Dawn Era is actually the equivalent of an (possibly brief) awakened state, which "ends"/"disturbs" the "dream", but is soon followed by a new unconscious period, in which a new dream develops? Repeating patterns would be natural, because it possibly represents the Godhead "mind" trying to deal with its present state and/or using the same memories/experiences as a basis for its dreams. After all, sensory deprivation isn't known for the richness of new stimulus it provides.

Of course, all this is especulated based on the idea that the Godhead follows human psychic patterns.

Your thoughts, please?

Edit: Alduin represents the alarm clock, perhaps?

Sorry, what i said isn't readable ; the forum seems to have some problem at this time.

In this idea, two levels of kalpa the ones returning to merethic http://www.gamesas.com/topic/921446-world-eating-101/
And other reseting the Whole Aurbis :


The Psijics :
They follow The Old Ways.
Now what are these "Old Ways"? Few even in the Psijic, seem to have been taught about it, and the book is a bit "oversimplified".

Sotha Sil's Last Words...

Now, we have B, Divayth, Gosleigh...

The Xal-Gosleigh Letters


Ok, now, if PSJJJJ/SITHISIT/Sithis is the Amaranth or the thing making it possible :
Psijics revere it. Old Ways seems to have the goal of doing as Sithisit. And so, decreating the World to return to the non subgradiated being, able to reach Amaranth by themsleves. The World stop them from doing it, thus the "destruction of the world" of thalmor and Ayleid, and the Dracochrysalid of Auriel.

The Dwemer are on a New Way. Made possible by Lorkhan, who "failed so we know how not to". The opposition Anu/Padomay would be in fact Old/Naew Ways to Heaven ; Anuic mind isn't against reaching Amaranth, but against New Ways. Why?
Because they can "awake the sleepers". Awaking the godhead, and the sleepers between? If a so long time has passed with no one reaching the Amaranth, it may be for waiting that the new Ways are not dangerous any more. The subgradiience would be to take the secret door inside the serpent without hurting the Godhead, being "smaller"

Ok, I'm impressed by the depth of the lore, intimidated by the dedication you guys have, and worried about the lore writers' minds, because...well..if I went that deep, I'm not sure I would return, you know*?
