The subconscious writes in riddles

A friend, “super místico”, writes him about dreaming repeatedly of a dragon with an infinite body and the friend’s own head, always trying to speak to him and failing, while a giant eye watches ▸ 21:52.

And the useful part is what happened next: knowing the reading, he concluded there was nothing to do but accept the changes, accepted them, took the trip, and the disaster dreams stopped ▸ 25:56. Not prophecy, diagnostics: a nightly log written in riddles, and a model that reads riddles for free. Whether the dragon with his friend’s head gets the same closure is left open…
