Upon waking, I couldn't remember any dream imagery, just two couplets. The first was a new version of the Jinbad couplet from "With?" In spoken form, which is how I received it, it is ambiguous and could be written in either of the following ways:
Jinbad the Jailer holds the keys.He locks up some; and others, frees.
Jinbad the Jailer holds the keys.He locks up some, and others freeze.
The second was from the Chip Taylor song "Angel of the Morning" as performed by Juice Newton. (I prefer the Merrilee Rush version, but the voice in the dream sounded like Juice Newton.)
Just call me angel of the morning, angelJust touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
I thought that this was also meant to be ambiguous, that it could also be heard as "angel of the mourning."
I left the card under my pillow and took some time to think about this material without checking it. First, I noticed a connection between the two couplets. In last month's post "Tinbad and Jinbad revisited," I had focused on two couplets from "With?" -- Tinbad the Tailor and Jinbad the Jailer. Here, in the dream material, I had a new Jinbad the Jailer couplet juxtaposed with a couplet from someone named Taylor.
The ambiguity of the new Jinbad couplet made me think of the question, discussed here from time to time, of whether Pharazon was locked up in the Caves of the Forgotten, as in Tolkien, or was frozen in ice, which is Bill's version of the fate of most of the Numenoreans.
In the first version of the couplet, those who are locked up are being punished, and those who are freed are being shown mercy. This could be reversed in the second version. Bill's assumption is that the Flood of Noah refers to the same event as the Fall of Numenor, and that after the Flood the waters turned to ice. In the biblical version of the story, it is said of Noah in the ark that "the Lord shut him in" (Gen. 7:16) -- so Noah, by being "locked up," escaped the fate of the others, who froze.
The Chip Taylor line "Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby" immediately made me think of Cheek Holder, one of the Flour Boys. As summarized in the post "Flour Boy symbolism roundup," Cheek Holder is identified with the Child card ("baby"), with "John" (a conflation of the Baptist, the Apostle, and the Revelator), with Jupiter, and with the first horseman, who bears the bow.
The "angel of the mourning" variant made me think of the Rolling Stones song "Saint of Me," where a weeping angel is immediately followed by a verse about John the Baptist:
I thought I heard a angel cryI thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eyeCome on nowJohn the Baptist was a martyrBut he stirred up Herod's hateAnd Salome got her wishTo have him served up on a plateI said yes, yes, yeah
At this point I turned over the Tarot card that had been under my pillow. It was our old friend Temperance.
This is one of only two cards in the deck to show an angel (the other is Judgement), so that's a hit. The radiance low on the horizon in the background also suggests dawn or morning. In the Golden Dawn system associated with this deck, Temperance corresponds to the sign of Sagittarius, which is the Archer and is ruled by the planet Jupiter. Both the Archer (first horseman) and Jupiter have been linked to Cheek Holder.
So this little experiment wasn't a success in any straightforward sense -- I didn't perceive the Temperance card itself or anything that would have allowed to identify that particular card before turning it over -- but the connections are there.

The names Chip and Juice are also potentially meaningful in light of past syncs.
Rather interesting results. Do you intend to perform the experiment again?
William,
Part 1 of 2
Yes, Edgar Cayce, The Sleeping Prophet
was a very significant figure
in his day and to those of us who believe in the metaphysical.
So thank you for giving Cayce a bit of a
much deserving shout out.
I've' read many Cayce books back in the day
starting about 15 years old or so.
Cayce of course believed in reincarnation and Atlantis
which I didn't know about Atlantis before reading
Cayce's books. It was my levitation dreams starting
at 10 years old which attracted me to the metaphysical.
No one in my immediate family were 'into' the metaphysical
at least not that I am aware of.
My grandmother Sarah was a Christian.
Although I did find out in 2002 after my mother passed over
that my parental aunt was a psychic. Interestingly
my aunt too was a Pisces born in early March,
as was Edgar Cayce born March 18th.
Cayce was born in Hopkinsville KY so he and I shared
a Kentucky connection. In Cayce's adult life he lived for a time
in Dayton Ohio. 15 years ago or so I was able to find
on the internet exactly where in Dayton which was on Grand Ave
and in particular a section of Grand Ave which is now called
Historic Grafton Hills.
Although Grand Ave now is considered the West Side of Dayton
and not a very good place to live, however when Cayce
lived on Grand that was not the case of course.
The Wright Brothers lived in West Dayton as many Germans
settled there. The Wright Brother's bicycle
shop was on West Third Street.
Also the poet Paul Laurence Dunbar lived near the Wright Brothers.
My grandparent's house where I grew up was not very far away.
In Cayce's bio it says that while living in Dayton, one day
while standing on the Third Street bridge overlooking the Great
Miami River ( see link of the old Third Street Bridge ) ,
Cayce had a vision of where he needed to move to next and why.
That place was Virginia Beach.
Debbie, I own and have read several books by and about Cayce. When my sisters were living near Virginia Beach, I used to hit the local bookstores every time I visited.
WG, yes, I think I'll try it again. I feel like I really should have been able to identify Temperance this time -- as mentioned, "angel" already narrows it down to just two possibilities. I was expecting to see actual Tarot imagery in my dream and was somewhat thrown off by what I got instead. Next time I'll have a better idea of what to expect.
William
Part 2
Cayce believed in Ley Lines and vowed he would always
live either on the 36 degree parallel north or north of the 36,
which is why he moved to Dayton. Dayton is on the 40th
parallel north (actual 39 lat but factor in the law of the three).
Dayton was the Silicon Valley of its day. Many pioneering
inventions and inventors (both which changed the course of history)
called Dayton home.
The EL's followed the 40 because they knew the power of it.
Hopkinsville is on the 36 lat as is Virigina Beach
which Virgina Beach was in Cayce's vision.
According to Cayce's bio, he believed that there was gold
in the sand of Virigina Beach which had healing effects,
and was the reason why
Cayce built the A. R. E there
( Association for Research and Enlightenment).
Marshall and I went to the A. R. E. while on vacation
on the East Coast in late 1980's. There's a large metaphysical
library inside of the A. R. E.
Virgina Beach is on the 36 lat and the 75 longitude)
Recall my many comments about the 77 Meridian West
aka God's Pole which John Dee, a Rosy, knew
very well.
The EL's also knew the power of water, which
they always followed as well. The Great Miami
River being a conduit. Recall I've commented
many times about the Miamisburg Mound
and the Mound's integral part in not only Operation
Paperclip when Winfred Otto Schumann ( father of
the Schumann Resonance having to do with sound
and frequency )worked at the Miamisburg Mound
on the Manhattan Project. Recall my many comments
not only about Schumann but the Why of frequency,
and sound which the Schumann Resonance
was a very important topic at the Monroe Insititute.
The West Side of Dayton, where I grew up
was just over the bridge of the Miami River.
The Mound was practically in our 'back yard'.
Copy and Paste:
"It was Winfried Otto Schumann who first studied the
theoretical aspects of the global resonances
of the earth–ionosphere waveguide system, known today as
the Schumann resonances.
~~~~~~
I think my point being and IMHO, it is imperative
to know the WHYs, especially regarding the metaphysical.
When our physical eyes are shut, we see with
our One Eye aka our Third Eye which transcends the illusion.
I believe that this is what the EL's knew as well.
They were/are masters of their craft.
Even Cat in the Hat knew this as in the story
"I Can See with my Eyes Shut," Cat said that
seeing with his eyes shut made his hat and eyebrows
'red hot' so he didn't do it very often.
The illustration in the book suggests this as well as it
shows at frame :054 in the video I linked, Big Cat's
Phrygian Cap appears to be in melt down.
Perhaps Seuss gave us a hidden clue as to the power
of the Third Eye, no?
So, maybe Kat was right-)) Understanding the Sacred
Science Knowledge and manifesting it
takes great persistence, and patience
which is not for everybody, although I think
we all have the potential.
Our opponent and challenge is the ego.

William,
Interesting your visists to Virginia Beach.
Did you visit A. R. E.?
When Marshall and I visited Virgina Beach in the late 1980's
I made sure to scoop up a huge amount of 'gold' sand
and brought it back home with me. I burned incense
in it by my bedside. I had it for many years.
William,
I forgot to add that in the 'I Can Read with my Eyes Shut' story
and in the illustrations, note that big cat reads
from a green cover book.
Recall my many comments about the significance of the Green
Language aka The Language of the Birds which
the EL's knew VERY well.
Copy and paste ( link below asterisks mine
"Taking into account other clues, one may ponder the
attributes of birds for their relation to the
mysterious wisdom. ****Most notably are the bird’s songs***.
****Music is well known to hold great power.****
If man is quiet enough, the beautiful sounds relax and uplift.
~~~~~~~
Once again, a connection to Sound and Frequency.
If you didn't watch the movie I linked titled Frequencies,
I highly recommend it.
It's very thought provoking.
Perhaps the green book cover was another Seuss wink
as to WHO is at the Helm.
As the Eyes Shut story progresses and at
frame 2:30 in the illustration of big cat
and little cat riding on the elephant,
the book cover is purple, indigo being the third
eye chakra and the color worn by royalty.
In that illustration, big cat has his eyes closed and little cat
has his open.
The flowers have turned lavender as well and
there is only six points.
But at the very end, the illustration shows
both big cat and little cat with their
One Eye opened, the book cover is blue.

William,
This article below is more of an in-depth article about
the Green Language aka The Language of
the Birds although the first article I linked
touched on the topic of sound, music and harmony
as to why the bird connection, which I absolutely agree with
as well.
https://philosophicalmindspodcast.com/2024/08/the-green-language-unveiling-the-esoteric-code-of-the-alchemists-and-mystics/
This morning while waking up and in that semi-trance state, I heard the phrase:
"We live in a lunar lock of ice and mist"
I had woken up earlier in the morning and read this post before going back to sleep, so full disclosure these words could be my subconscious influenced by your mention of Numenor, ice, etc.
I looked up the phrase "Lunar Lock" first, as I was thinking that it must be a common phrase associated with the moon, lunar orbits, or something like that. It turns out it isn't. Tidal Lock was what I was thinking of, when a moon's rotation matches its orbit (like our own moon).
The first result was for a band by that name, that I, and I am sure most people, have never heard of. They are from France, which is always interesting. But then the description caught my eye. The type of music they are said to perform is "Cold Wave" music.
My theory of the Numenor is that it is encased in ice due to the Great Wave that fell on that world and then froze around it. This would synch up well with a Cold Wave.
At this point, my mind went very directly back to the moon Europa, which I had used as an example of what Numenor would have become. Europa is one of Jupiter's moons, which is perhaps interesting given how heavily you invoked Jupiter in this post. Further, as I looked into it this morning, Europa's oceans are not just encased within a thick ice crust. Apparently, water vapor has been detected in Europa's atmosphere, generated by vapor plumes that continually erupt out of the ice. Vapor is synonym for Mist, so potentially relevant. The Mist reference also is interesting if spelled Myst, given the Cyan logo/ graphics I had explored earlier with planets coming back into a straight alignment and with the small world of Numenor as the missing link.
Anyway, the mention of a Lunar Lock would seem to coincide with keys, or something that needs to be unlocked, and thus to Jinbad and his keys.
Also, for the record, I don't think that Pharazon shared the same fate as most of the Numenoreans. His Armada would have left that world behind in their assault, and the people still on that world would have been the ones buried under the wave (e.g., the scene of Miriel trying to ascend the Meneltarma to escape the Wave). Even if the Armada was also pushed back and buried under that Wave, Pharazon's own fate would have been different since, in the stories we have, he would have landed on Aman. In other words, multiple fates and destinations are allowed for the Numenoreans.
I will also share this here as I feel there were other dreams this morning that slipped away that tied to it, and there will be yet another Rolling Stones connection at the conclusion.
After a series of dreams yesterday, I woke up in that trance state again and heard the phrase "Thy new name abides".
As you know very well, "New Names" are associated with LDS endowment symbolism, but also with Stones. Joseph Smith wrote that everyone in the Celestial Kingdom will receive a stone, and on that stone is a New Name that only the person receiving said stone knows. Further, this Name is said to be a Key, which may or may not tie back to these other mentions of locks, keys, etc:
"And a white stone is given to each of those who come into the celestial kingdom, whereon is a new name written, which no man knoweth save he that receiveth it. The new name is the key word."
The use of the word "abide" seemed so specific that I thought there must be something to it. I looked up instances of it in scripture, of which there are quite a few, but a couple jumped out as it tied a theme together related to the Holy Ghost. One was John 14, which captures Jesus' words to the apostles:
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever".
Jesus then continues later with additional assurance relative to comfort: "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you".
Additional examples in the Book of Mormon also associated "abide" with the Holy Ghost. For example, 1 Nephi 11 (which also features John):
"... and after he [Jesus] was baptized, I beheld the heavens open, and the Holy Ghost come down out of heaven and abide upon him in the form of a dove".
As a quick aside, your song from this morning, "Morning of the Angel", might relate to a dove, since you also had assumed a play on words with Morning/ Mourning, and linking to a Mourning Dove.
There are plenty of other "abide" references (including many apocalyptic references - "Who may abide the day of his coming", from Malachi), but these references with the Holy Ghost stood out.
Later yesterday afternoon, I had the very distinct thought that the phrase was a play on words for a line from the movie The Big Lebowski: "The Dude Abides". The Dude is literally the name that Jeff Bridges' character tells people to call him, and so follows exactly this structure of a name abiding. I had actually only seen the film a couple months ago for the first time on a whim, and don't know it very well, so that fact that I recalled that phrase seemed relevant.
Curious, I pulled up the ending scene where the phrase comes from. Wouldn't you know it, Sam Elliott, who plays the character known as The Stranger and narrates the film, repeats the phrase "The Dude Abides", and then specifically mentions "Comfort", just like in John 14:
"The Dude abides. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowing he's out there - The Dude - taking it easy for all us sinners."
In watching the scene, I also noted that it ends with a cover for a Rolling Stones song - "Dead Flowers". A pretty good sync for multiple things, including the Lilies.
Forgot to post the scene. Here it is:
