And there are a few of Neil Gaiman's works on the reading list at the library.

It might pay to see if we can match up any more of that list with other things that appear in dreams.

Books are the source (root) of all knowlage, but you can never stop learning (growing) I see a leaf-brain connection as well, leaves help a tree grow much like our brains help us to grow and prosper.

Has anyone cleaned up the text on the masks yet?

[Sandra]

What I can make out of the History Mask:

The pillars are titled "Crown of ................" (I thought I had the word - but can't figure it out now. It could be "architecture.")

There are indications on it as to what media Sarah planned to use. An example is the sword over the one eye. "metal" points to the blade of the sword and "paint" points to the hilt.

The scroll coming down the face is labeled "the written tradition." The mouth is labeled "the oral tradition."

On the other side of the face there's a notation "free hanging" and then something about "crystals." I think these are Sarah's notes on how she was going to handle the design. I can't make out what it says about the symbols over that eye or what is said in the rest of the info on the "crystals."

For the Knowledge mask I can make out that she's indicating the headdress is made of "famous quotations" and I think "many languages."

The images over the eyes are identified as "lanterns of ........." Under that appears to be design notations "colorfast .............." More design notes seem to be "protruding .......... to frontal .........."

On the other side of the page the text pointing to the headdress is "leaves ----- treated ................ starched papers."

The only word I can make out from the words pointing to the eyes is "yellow" and the very small note under that is unreadable (atleast for me.)

After a bit of colour adjustment some words are easier to read. What you said was Metal, in fact says Model, so I think its more an indication of what she needs to do, rather than use.

[Sandra]

That makes sense that it was "model" since she was sculpting them. I think the important thing is there's not a lot of clues - atleast not ones that are evident at this time.

Wow, I just emailed her this morning about the masks from Dale's dream and the names he used - how I felt they were both connected.
So she changed Progress to Technology, and verified that the last one is Man. Sweet.

[Sandra]

We speculated in chat who might be associated with each of Sarah's masks.

Sarah - Knowledge - being the library
Wes - History - He wrote a book about the area
Sam - Technology - She's the computer geek
Iris - Nature - She's very connected to the land, even though she identifies her shop as "unnatural."
Sacred - Digitalis - He is the one most connected to the other side.
Man/Self-Realization - Dale - He's the one who needs to find out who he is.

It was speculated that Don could be the one associated with "Progress" but I think there's two things that go against that. One is that he's not one of the "good guys" and while Dale referred to it as "Progress" Sarah called the mask "Technology."

Added: I think this page pretty much proves that Iris is "Nature:"

[Spec] matching masks to archetype personae

[Sandra]

Good idea on it being Phyllis who is history. He quote certainly fits.
