The Oneiroi (Ονειροι)

Roman Name: Somnium

Translation: Dream

Dreams of the Night

The Oneiroi are described to be bat-like, small and winged dark spirits of the night, who hid in caves during the day, although instead of the body of a bat, it is the head of a person (Female and Male). These bats would pass from one of two gates, god sent dreams with meaning and messages are the dreams where the Oneiroi passed through a gate made of horn. The second gate was of meaningless dreams, a gate made of ivory. There is also a corrupt counterpart / creation deficiency for the Oneiroi called Melas Oneiros, which means black dream, or nightmare.


Family Ties; The Oneitoi's Mother and Father are Nyx and Erebus, with many siblings such as Aether, Hemera, Ker(es), Moros, Momus, Hypnos, Thanatos, Geras, Oizys, Nemesis, Philotes, Apate, Eris, The Moirai, and The Hesperides.

Tributes; Some symbols of The Oneiroi, are things such as rocks, wood, earth (dirt), and even water, as they are all deeply religious symbols of the Greeks.
