The OA: Death And Waking From Dreams

"Sound of My Voice" is an independent film starring Brit Marling.  Brit Marling plays Maggie, the leader of a cult who claims to be from the future.  In the film, a cult member asks Maggie to "sing a song from her time."  She ends up singing "Dreams" by The Cranberries.

In "The OA" Brit Marling plays a formerly blind woman who resurfaces after having been missing for 7 years, 3 months and 11 days.  Upon her return, her eyesight is somehow restored.

From the release of The OA (December 16, 2016) to Dolores O'Riordan's 46th birthday (September 6, 2017) is 264 days.

Dolores O'Riordan was born September 6, 1971 (the 249th day of the year, leaving 116 days remaining).

April 26 (written 26/4) is the 116th day of the year, leaving 249 days remaining.

O'Riordan died (January 15, 2018) 264 days after 26/4.

In The OA, several of the characters recover 'movements' while experiencing NDEs.  To acquire a movement each character must swallow an animal.  In acquiring her movement, Brit Marling's character is given a bird which she chooses to swallow.  Upon her return to the material world her eyesight is restored.

Five movements are required for the characters to open a portal that will allow them travel into an alternate dimension.

The cover of Katy Perry's fifth studio album, "Witness" is shown below.  Consider how it is a representation of themes in The OA.

The release date (6/9) is written as the reflection of O'Riordan's birthday (9/6).  The lyrics to the album's first single, "Chained To The Rhythm" are shown below.

Note the relation of the word "lens" (related to sight) and "zombie" (the title of a song written by Dolores O'Riordan's band, The Cranberries).

• "lens" is sung 9 words into the song.
• "zombie" is sung 102 words into the song.

Using the most basic cypher (Ordinal), "Witness" = 109.

9 + 102 + 109 = 220 = The number of days from the album's release to Dolores O'Riordan's death.

February 20 (2/20) is Kurt Cobain's birthday.  Dolores O'Riordan died 36 days before February 20, 2018.

• The OA was released on the date (December 16) which leaves 15 days remaining in the year.
• O'Riordan died on (January 15) the 15th day of the year.
• February 20, 2018 is the 51st day of the year and the date that would have been Kurt Cobain's 51st birthday.

Merging 15 and 51 forms 151, the 36th prime number.

The acronym (OA) used in the title of the series has the number 151 encoded in it's gematria.

• O is the 15th letter.
• A is the 1st letter.

The date (January 15) of O'Riordan's death can be written 15/1.

Writing each number (9, 102, 109) side by side and joining the non-zero digits forms 91219, a palindrome made up of the number 219 and it's reflection.  

• September 21 (21/9) is the 264th day of the year. 
• Brit Marling was born on the 219th day of the year.

The word, "zombie" is sung for a second time 153 words into the song.  The OA was released on the 351st day of 2016.

9 + 102 + 153 = 264

Consider how birth and death interlock here.

• The cover of Nevermind was inspired by Cobain's interest in underwater births.
• Dolores O'Riordan was born on the 249th day of the year.
• Nevermind was released September 24 (24/9).
• Nirvana's final LP is In Utero.
• Brit Marling was born on the 219th day of the year.
• In Utero was released September 21 (21/9).
• From the release of Nevermind to In Utero is 728 days.
• From the release of In Utero to Kurt Cobain's death is [7×28] days.
• Nevermind was released on 9/24.
• From the release of Nevermind to Kurt Cobain's death is 924 days.

In Utero was released September 21 (the 264th day of the year).  Bounding Dolores O' Riordan's death with the date September 21st results in her date of death occurring at the same point her birthday does within the calendar year (249 days to one side and 116 on the other).

Gulf of Alaska (23/1) & Indonesian Earthquake (29/7)

Recall the lyrics to the first single ("Chained To The Rhythm") from "Witness".

• "lens" is sung 9 words into the song.
• "zombie" is sung 102 words into the song.
• "Witness" = 109 (Ordinal)

Writing each number (9, 102, 109) side by side and joining the non-zero digits forms 91219, a palindrome made up of the number 219 and it's reflection.

• September 21 (21/9) is the 264th day of the year.
• Brit Marling was born on the 219th day of the year.

9 + 102 + 109 + 219 = 439 = The number of days from the release of The OA to February 28, 2018.

From the release of "Witness" to February 28, 2018 is 264 days.

February 28, 2018 is 666 days before the 15th anniversary (December 26, 2019) of the Indian Ocean Earthquake.

666 is the 36th triangular number:

x₃₆ = 36(36+1)/2 = 666

The Gulf of Alaska earthquake occurred [January 23 (23/1), 2018] 36 days before February 28, 2018.

The 6.4 Indonesian Earthquake occurred [July 29 (29/7), 2018] 151 days after February 28, 2018.

(151 is the 36th prime number)

Consider the dates (23/1 and 29/7) of the Gulf of Alaska and Indonesian earthquakes.

Taking the average: [231 + 297] ÷ 2 = 264

231 + 297 = 528

The divisors of 528 sum to 1488.

1488 = [16×93]

(1693 is the 264th prime number)

Death And Waking From Dreams

Kurt Cobain and Per 'Dead' Ohlin from the band Mayhem committed suicide in a similar manner.

Dead's suicide note below:

Note the reason given in the note, "this is just a dream and soon I will awake."

The reverse ordinal cypher reverses the alphabetic order:

"this is just a dream and soon I will awake" = 507 (Reverse Ordinal)

169 is the largest divisor of 507:

Dead committed suicide (April 8, 1991) 169 days before the release of Nevermind.

Recall: 

• Nevermind was released September 24 (24/9).
• Dolores O'Riordan was born on the 249th day of the year.

Dolores O'Riordan (who's band, The Cranberries wrote the song "Dreams") and Dead (who wrote about waking from a dream in his suicide note) died [169 + 9610] days apart.

9779 = 169 + 9610

Kurt Cobain's body was discovered in his home April 8, 1994, exactly four years to the day Dead committed suicide.

The numbers 169 and 196 are related.  The 169th day of the year leaves 196 days remaining.  169 and 196 are consecutive squares.  169 is 13 squared, 196 is 14 squared.

• Per "Dead" Ohlin died 169 days before the release of Nevermind.
• Kurt Cobain would die 196 days after the release of In Utero.

Kurt Cobain was born February 20, 1967 and died April 5, 1994; his total lifespan was 9907 days.

9907 is the 1222nd prime number.

The primes cypher is based on the alphabetic order using number-prime relationships.  For example, 'Z' is the 26th letter.  The 26th prime number is 101.  'Z' = 101.

"this is just a dream and soon I will awake." = 1222 (Primes)

[12×22] = 264

"Among The Sleep" by Cage is about death and waking from dreams.  The song was released August 6, 2002 on the album "Movies For The Blind".

Consider how the title relates to The OA, a story about a blind woman who has regained her sight.

August 6, 2002 leaves 147 days remaining in the year:

"Movies For The Blind + Among The Sleep" = 147 (Full Reduction)

Dolores O'Riordan died 5641 days after the release of "Movies For The Blind".

5641 is the 741st prime number:

• Dolores O'Riordan was born September 6 (6/9).
• Brit Marling was born August 7 (7/8).

69 + 78 = 147

Joining each number (69 and 78) from right to left forms 8796.

5641 + 8796 = 14437

14437 is the 1693rd prime number.

1693 is the 264th prime number.

Dreams, Inception & Fukushima - 264

The number 528, alongside 491 is shown throughout the film Inception.

Fischer is handed a hotel napkin with the numbers 528-491:

Room 528:

Below 528 is room 491:

The largest divisor of 528 (aside from the number itself) is 264.

528 + 491 = 1019

1019 is the 171st prime number:

From the 264th day of the year to the Fukushima disaster (March 11, 2011) is 171 days.

Approximately 12 minutes into the film, Cobb says, "Here we are".  The screen pans to a riot outside and a vehicle with the license plate: [LVF-2426M].

Reducing the letter/number sequence:

264 and it's reflection, 462 are highlighted.  The non-highlighted numbers are 12 and 4.  In the year prior to the film's release, the date 12/4 occurs 462 days before the Fukushima disaster.

The Sumerian cypher is based on the alphabetic order, multiplying each ordinal value by 6:

"Here we are" = 528 (Sumerian)

During a large portion of the film, the main characters are in a dream state inside a vehicle with the letter/number sequence E350-CUY-3930.

Reducing the letter/number sequence fully:

At the end of the dream, Fischer enters the numbers 528-491 as a combination to a safe.

[535 + 337 + 393] − [528 + 491] = 246

From the initial release of Inception (July 8, 2010) to the Fukushima disaster is 246 days.

The Haiti Earthquake and Fukushima - 171, 264

The numbers 171 and 264 connect the Haiti earthquake (January 12, 2010) to the Fukushima disaster in a way illustrative of how our calendar system is used alongside this alpha-numeric code.

At the time of the Haiti earthquake the country was in it's 206th year of independence.

2010 − 1804 = 206

From the 206th day (July 25) of 2009 to the Haiti earthquake is 171 days.

June 20 (written 20/6) is the 171st day of the year.

The 206th day of the year leaves 159 days remaining:

159 + 264 = 423

From the date April 23 (4/23) to the Haiti earthquake is 264 days.

The Haiti earthquake and Fukushima disaster occurred 423 days apart.

Twin Peaks ("Part 17"), Dreams - 253

In "Part 17" of Twin Peaks (broadcast September 3, 2017) we see Cooper's face overlaid on the screen; the words, "we live inside a dream" are said; the minute hand of a clock switches back and forth continuously between 2:52 and 2:53.

Earlier in the episode, Bushnell Mullins reads Dougie's message to Cole: "I am headed for Sheriff Truman's.  It is 2:53 in Las Vegas, and that adds up to ten, the number of completion."

Consider the dates of the Venezuelan [August 21 (21/8)] and Los Angeles [August 28 (28/8)] earthquakes.

Taking the average: [218 + 288] ÷ 2 = 253

• August 21 leaves 132 days remaining in the year.
• August 28 leaves 121 days remaining in the year.

132 + 121 = 253

From the broadcast date (September 3, 2017) of "Part 17" to the Venezuelan earthquake is 352 days.

September 10 (9/10) is the 253rd day of the year.

From the 253rd day of 2017 to the Los Angeles earthquake is 352 days.
