# The Glass Dream Game ###### What is the Glass Dream Game? The Glass Dream Game is a divination game developed and practiced by Æmen Ededéen. The Game begins through a cleromantic process selecting six books by chance from Æmen's library of 900+ books.  One page in each of these books is selected through the same chance process, resulting in a [Hexagram](https://publish.obsidian.md/glassdreamgame/Codex/Hexagram). From these six pages Æmen takes notes and makes sketches, looking for connections and noting any synchronicites emerging from the [Hexagram](https://publish.obsidian.md/glassdreamgame/Codex/Hexagram).  This process constitute [[Trials]].  Using the notes and sketches from the [[Trials]], Æmen writes a [Dream](https://publish.obsidian.md/glassdreamgame/Codex/Dream), a written passage connecting the elements across a [Hexagram](https://publish.obsidian.md/glassdreamgame/Codex/Hexagram).  From the [[Dream]] comes the [Vision](https://publish.obsidian.md/glassdreamgame/Codex/Vision), a painting or artwork, not about the [[Dream]], but in some way informed by it.  Through the [Hexagram](https://publish.obsidian.md/glassdreamgame/Codex/Hexagram)s, [Dream](https://publish.obsidian.md/glassdreamgame/Codex/Dream)s, [Vision](https://publish.obsidian.md/glassdreamgame/Codex/Vision)s, and [Trials](https://publish.obsidian.md/glassdreamgame/Codex/Trials), an extensive network of relationships begin to emerge. If a theme, object, or idea reoccurs across multiple [Dream](https://publish.obsidian.md/glassdreamgame/Codex/Dream)s and [Vision](https://publish.obsidian.md/glassdreamgame/Codex/Vision)s it is cataloged as a [Symbol](https://publish.obsidian.md/glassdreamgame/Codex/Symbol).  The Glass Dream Game is still in its early experimental stages.  Its real purpose and numerous possible implications and applications are mostly unknown. ###### **How to use this site** This website, maintained by fellow player of the Game [Tsiv Ihcra](https://www.samuelstaffan.com/), serves as an interactive archive of The Glass Dream Game.
