  I have knowledge of who the Eater of Dreams is:

  My lord is mightier than any creature dreamt of by a mortal.

  Them if he is so mighty, why would he need you?
• OmnipresentAnonymous

  I am but a conduit.
• Bowler218

  If he is mighty, why wouldn't he make his own instead of "asking" you?

  @Bowler218 don't be rude. This looks interesting.

  I am asking questions, so that I may be smarter than my enemy.
• TrestleT

  January 2019

  What enemy? This is clearly a puzzle. Being a smartass doesn't help anything.
• Bowler218

  January 2019

  The enemy is the puzzle, and if I am sounding rude, I apologize.

  You weren't asking about the puzzle though. Questioning exposition is completely different than questioning the nature of a puzzle. Wouldn't attempting to work through it be a wiser course of action?

  If it's all based around the Eater of Dreams, I need to know they're logic in order to understand how the puzzle's work. And I have an idea of who it is.

  I was just thinking. The phrases seem very deliberate. They are calling the puzzle a "Trial" which leads me to believe that it is a test.

  Not trying to sound rude, but isn't trial and puzzle synonyms?
• TrestleT

  January 2019

  You misunderstand what I mean. What if the puzzle is a test. What if this whole thing is a trial, a trial run.
• Bowler218

  Like a demo?
• TrestleT

  January 2019

  Exactly!
• Bowler218

  January 2019

  Wait.....
  All demos are non-cannon, right? Meaning that this isn't part of the full "Trial"
  @OmnipresentAnonymous
  I have shown proof.

  The trial is to test the skills necessary for the coming darkness. Bask in the dreamless sleep.
• Bowler218

  January 2019

  What kind of darkness?
• OmnipresentAnonymous

  January 2019

  The glory of my lord.

  @Bowler218, CHRIST! Stop being so ridiculous. Are you going to try the puzzle or not? I am.
• Bowler218

  @TrestleT
  the only thing I can think of is running the pictures through a QR reader
• TrestleT

  January 2019

  Worth a shot. I am going to get some sleep. Talk to you tomorrow.
• Bowler218

  January 2019

  Ok
• notmyprimespeaker

  January 2019

  Ran them through one, got an error message
• Bowler218

  January 2019

  Spectograph? Like the stuff where you put a sound in and it gives you an image? What if you reverse that process?
• OmnipresentAnonymous

  January 2019

  Your eyes have not yet opened to the Insight of my lord.
  There is more to his message you have yet to see.
  Keep looking, and you may find the guidance you seek.

  Now I'm interested...
  
  But oh Great one, any hints on the small image? Any Magic cards that I should consult?
  
  (Proof that I got somewhere: the second image can be converted to some characters, but they are clearly not readable. Suggests first picture is some clue to encryption or sth but I'm stuck for now)
  *Update: okay it wasn't Vigenere cipher
  **Update: see new message. Turns out you don't have to transpose the first picture lol.
