THE ONEIROI were the dark-winged Daimones (Spirits) of dreams. They emerged each night like a flock of bats from their cavernous home in Erebos, the land of eternal darkness beyond the rising sun. The Oneiroi passed through one of two gates (pylai). The first of these, made of horn, was the source of the prophetic god-sent dreams, while the other, constructed of ivory, was the source of dreams which were false and without meaning. The term for nightmare was melas oneiros (black dream).
I feel like my Oneiroi have always been a little twisted but this year seems to be more active dream wise than normal. Lately I've been waking up describing my weird dreams to Dan (my sweetie) and realized that it could be fun to log them and even share them so, here is the blog where I hope to find enough time to do so. I hope you enjoy the trips my Oneiroi tale me on!
