1
On the second night I had a dream: I saw rising from the sea an eagle that had twelve feathered wings and three heads.
2
I saw it spread its wings over the whole earth, and all the winds of heaven blew upon it, and the clouds were gathered around it.
3
I saw that out of its wings there grew opposing wings; but they became little, puny wings.
4
But its heads were at rest; the middle head was larger than the other heads, but it too was at rest with them.
5
Then I saw that the eagle flew with its wings, and it reigned over the earth and over those who inhabit it.
6
And I saw how all things under heaven were subjected to it, and no one spoke against it—not a single creature that was on the earth.
7
Then I saw the eagle rise upon its talons, and it uttered a cry to its wings, saying,
8
"Do not all watch at the same time; let each sleep in its own place, and watch in its turn;
9
but let the heads be reserved for the last."
10
I looked again and saw that the voice did not come from its heads, but from the middle of its body.
