The Echoes Dreams…

Dreams, as well as their interpretations, play a significant role in the story. There are often times when Luke's dreaming and the images he sees give him insight into things beyond his knowledge. But perhaps our dreams are more than just subconscious processes that work out thoughts in our minds our conscious selves aren't unable to formulate.

In ancient times heavy stock was held in dreams, and seers were sought after for the visions they saw in their dreams. It was believed that they possessed the gift of clairvoyance and could tell of futures that had yet to come. We would call that deja vu, a sensation we get when a future moment is all too real, and we know at the moment that we had lived this instance before and could predict what was to come next.

Though what happens when a fleeting dream becomes more than just a good or bad night's sleep? A question has begun circulating in the scientific community about whether or not dreams are, in fact, windows into the multiverse. Parallel dimensions have been proven to exist, and the actuality of infinity is so vast that they're so many versions of ourselves in existence that there is another you who's living your exact life right now, the exact same way, thinking about this same idea at the same time you are.

Maybe they're many different types of dreams, ones that are windows and future or adjacent realities. Maybe sometimes dreams are memories, and as fanciful or extraordinary as they may seem, they are your soul reminding you of who you are, of who you once were. Luke has an eclectic collection of dreams, and they also tell of his Origin and strengthen his connection to Spartacus. Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss our adventures in slumber; you never know. Perhaps they could be your soul telling you you are powerful and extraordinary.
