1. The second night I had a dream. I saw an eagle coming up out of the sea. It had twelve wings and three heads.
2. As I looked, it spread out its wings over the whole world. Winds blew on it from every direction, and clouds gathered over it.
3. Then from its wings I saw rival wings begin to grow, but they were small and insignificant.
4. All three heads of the eagle were asleep, even the middle one, which was larger than the others.
5. While I was watching, the eagle flew up in the air and became ruler of the whole earth and all its people.
6. I saw how everything on earth was brought under the eagle's control — no one on earth was able to oppose it.
7. Then I saw the eagle stand up on its claws and say to its wings,
8. “Not all of you are to wake up at the same time; you must sleep where you are and wake up when your turn comes,
9. and the heads must wake up last.”
