gilgamesh and enkidu journey to the cedar forest every few days they camp on a mountain and perform a dream ritual gilgamesh has five terrifying dreams about falling mountains thunderstorms wild bulls and a thunderbird that breathes fire despite similarities between his dream figures and earlier descriptions of humbaba enkidu interprets these dreams as good omens and denies that the frightening images represent the forest guardian as they approach the cedar mountain they hear humbaba bellowing and have to encourage each other not to be afraid

Notes

  • As an Easter egg, the text is actually an English summary of the Epic of Gilgamesh.
