Just rec'd this email:
Dearest Sirs and Ladies,



My name is Gerald and whilst the gentleman Forest [though I am unsure he is fully completely a man] has communicated with you in his simple interactions with binary, Jaadian leaves his quartz available in the Green so openly, I think, possibly, he wants us to communicate with you without therefore breaking the 'Green''s rules and thus avoid any repercussions later.

Thus, it is my pleasure to introduce myself and, at the same time, urge you all to find the Dreamer. Jaadian has rarely confessed any of the Green's goals as such, but never before in the multitude of years whilst I have dwelt within this realm, have I seen him so upset and anxious.

In his own way, I imagine he is trying to lead you there with whatever rule-breaking he can do - he is a simple creature in some senses - follow his footsteps and see where he has been if possible - they should be glowing green in some form - though this use of the intra-inter-super-info-computational-highway has me confused to no end. All I need to do is to focus in a more written manner and thus have found it simpler to write - and this written form uses telephone wires! Like an electrical telegram but more direct. My nephew informs me that information and moving images are available as well on the spider's network - well, I am impressed with both the possibilities of seeing moving image and this 'electronic mail'.



I am waffling I suppose, and for that I apologise. I hear that Jaadian has left behind a poem - ah, found it - well - I imagine if you are to focus uopn all of it, some aspects may stand out more than others, but I would imagine finding a more modern man, despite his age [Jaadian let it slip that the dreamer has just become a sexagenarian in Thor and Vulcan's City - oh I remember those young days - so long ago and yet all so recent. Time is non-linear so much but this causes our itneractions to be so oftenly vague or fleeting perchance].



Ah, Jaadian is returning, so I must cut this missive short.



Do hurry if at all possible. The Green so rarely take an interest in our/your lives, it is intriguing to see where this might go - from both ends of the looking glass...



Your obediant servant
Gerald McIntyre


Jaadian also posted a music video yesterday on twitter: Missing Tide, Follow the Dreamer

Just got this PM from Jaadian:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
One who calls himself Booba has found the dreamer's postcode. Talk to him.


Booba, can you share what you found?

Right. Just got the e-mail a bit ago and he ratted me out before i could post.

For the "flown Magpie" I had guessed
88 Lowedges Rd, Sheffield, South Yorkshire S8 7LD, UK (now a chicken joint) and got this in reply




Dearr Don [may we/I/us call you that, man 'of the world'?

A magpie rested at the place indeed.
You are the first to prove themselves enough for trusting: a little.
This will be remembered.

It is not us/I/we though that you will need to get to trust though.

But the dreamer: James, 50/12, 100/3.

James used to frequent that place a lot hence his closeness to the dream world, and, in some manners, the Green. [ask Howard sometime...]
He still lives nearby, enough for the postman to deliver the magpie's S8 7LD mailings to him.
Enough for you to find him elsewhere perhaps?

His postal address is not needed. Nor is your meeting of him. Nor is your going there. No.
Meet him electronically, by finding him electronically. Tune in your quartz closer to his name.

As I/we/us said: a little.

Work out the remainder of the heel-grabber's name. Find the dreamer.
We/I/us count our minutes now upon this earthly realm.

Well done.
Jaadian.




Now we have "James"
The math could be 4.17333, a longitude that passes thru Great Britian?

yes, I would love to know!

Do you think the hashtags in the beginning of Jaadian's poem refer to what his Twitter name might be?

After looking over Gregory's email, I think that a fax number to contact the dreamer might not be right, but an email instead: "All I need to do is to focus in a more written manner and thus have found it simpler to write - and this written form uses telephone wires! Like an electrical telegram but more direct. "
The Dreamer is a sexagenarian....in his 60's....but I'm not sure what Thor and Vulcan's city refers to. I've looked up their history on wiki, but not getting a connection.

No real magic unfortunately, just some Google-fu on Elethamei's "Sheffield" + magpie + 88

Now I'm working on " James Edderton" on some blog that uses phone wires??
What are they using in Hong Kong?? Something from the news I didn't really catch.

Edderton comes from this:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Edderton_Cross_Slab&params=57_50_1_N_4_10_24_W_region:GB_type:landmark

The only instance of w4.17333 i can find. (Big) if that means anything at all.

I don't know....
"James" and "Sheffield" are both here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD4VikD_BcL_zqsvdSuFrDg

Perhaps combine some of the other names??

So watching the youtube post DREAM, the song playing in the background is an instrumental version of Que Sera Sera. Probably not helpful, just a audial reminder that the Green is not in control of the outcome.

Any more thoughts on the final image of the map with the hard drive over it?

booba,
nice idea on the 50/12=4.17333, but with the "hint" (obvious method of decoding) given by Jaadian in this tweet:
https://twitter.com/JaadianGreen/status/518396731185438720

Code:
R O M A N:  x x 1000 x x - arabian: 1 18 1 2 9 1 14 - dim: 500/4 1/9 1000/13...


then "James, 50/12, 100/3" becomes "James, L, C"

although i do not know where that leads.

Maybe replace the LD in the postcode "S8 7LD" to make "S8 7LC"?
