SaviourX Member	Posted Hide Post I'll have to reread it, but maybe he's pointing out how the gods are but a dream of the world, and the world is dreaming always of newer and better gods? Like a drunken fool dreaming of pink elephants?

Posted Hide Post i think the shape that passes in the background of the Drunkard's dream is that of Mr. Ibis in his function as the Passer of the dead to the underworld, like the way Shadow encountered him later in the book. I'm not sure what it all means though... death awaits all mortals or somethin?
