Achamian notes two dreams in particular manifest while teaching Kellhus, and notes that he can almost see the pattern of their dreams:
Strangely enough, the Dreams themselves had become more bearable. Tywanrae and Dagliash continued to predominate, though as always he couldn’t fathom why they should follow this or any other rhythm of events. They were like swallows, swooping and circling in aimless patterns, sketching something almost, yet never quite, a language.
We touched on Daliash in the last thread, the battle at Tywanrae fords was a huge defeat in the First Apocalypse, due to Akssersia relying only on Chorae alone to combat the Consult's sorcerers. In the first book, Simas analogizes this battle to what would happen if Maithanet called a Holy War against the Fanim, as they were unaware of the object of the Holy War and the Scarlet Spires' involvement at that point. If the dreams are warnings, it might suggest there will be no sorcerers who can match Kellhus, repeating what happened at Tywanrae.
This is a quote I like in general but also was one of the passages that led to my Inchoroi Crash Space theory which I posted in the inverse fire thread:
Nothing, Achamian had long ago decided, was quite so dangerous as boredom in the absence of scruples.
Here's something that just occurred to me about the dreams of Dagliash. Akka's situation could bee seen as an inversion of Seswatha's at Dagliash.
So, where Seswatha is captured, Akka goes freely. Where Seswatha is tortured, Akka is instead compelled. All with (essentially) the same aim, acquiring the weapon needed to defeat the No-God (Consult), which was once the Heron Spear, but is now the Gnosis.
Alright, that might be a stretch, but just came to me as I finished chapter 5.
The meeting between Cnaiür and the synthese is particularly important. I think that Aurang does actually come to realize that they have been played with this Holy War at this point.
As for Crash Space Incoroi, the transhuman aspect of the series, both Inchoroi and Nonmen, was something I had brought up before (although I am not sure if someone else did before that too). I think that the allegory is pretty real in the series, the danger of attempting to master one's nature and the law of unintended consequences.
