Could you perhaps allude as to where I might find more information on the book/prophecy? A google search simply turned up a few dream journals and some harry potter fan fiction sites which I'm willing to guess is not what you're referring to. I'm curious as to why anyone called Morpheus (a Greek deity and name) would write a prophecy based on the Norse pantheon. I'm also willing to stake my name that the separate poems are not simply combined word for word, an ancient text would have different language and grammar to a modern one as well as the rhyming style changing considerably between poems. I'm also just plain curious to learn some more about the author and the books contents as I've personally not encountered it before. Many thanks.
As prophecy does it stays through the ages and alters itself as it progresses through time. That is why there are so many interpretations to this one. Also realize that all mythologies build with each other from culture to culture. Case in point Greek and Roman. And all Gods and Goddesses coexist anyway. To my knowledge it is uncertain who Morpheous is or was. Also there are many possibilities as to the location of the book. Some say here some say Astral. The interpretations are just as many. Speaking of Harry Potter read the last book and pay attention to the three Deathly Hallows. Sounds remarkably along the same line as "Wind, Lightning, and Nights Child.
Well which cultures elude to the prophecy and where in those cultures can it be found? Sorry for all the questions but until I can be pointed towards a hard copy of such a prophecy that I can track historically I will stand by my opinion that subconscious personal reflection is the most likely origin of such writings. I may be proven wrong but as I've not encountered a similar prophecy before I can't comment on it. I would also point out that a prophecy can only be recognized as prophecy after it has come true, until then it's just a metaphorical writing.
Ghosts or spirits have been documented as appearing regularly for many many years, I wouldn't think their arrival indicates the approach of any specific prophecy unless you're referring to a far more specific event than I'm aware of.
On the contrary most prophecies like many myths cannot be wholly attributed to a specific way of approach. Take Nostradamus for instance. Many believe that his prophecies point to the Wars and Turmoils of our modern day. If that is your belief then that prophecy has come true. Many believe in the existence of the Knights Templar even though to my knowledge there is little historical information about them. All I'm saying is not to dismiss something just because its not written in a history book. Alot of historical facts have been distorted or purposely removed for what ever reason.
Oh I'm not indicating that a prophecy should be dismissed due to a lack of historical referencing of it, I am saying that it should be dismissed as ancient given a lack of such referencing and it should be treated instead as an independent event. Without a reliable reference to some past text it is impossible to reliably claim that a prophecy, story or other form of writing has appeared in a past culture, the name of a theorized book which may or may not exist and may or may not contain a specific piece of writing can not possibly be viewed as a reliable source.
I am also attempting to indicate that until an event has come to pass in which any theorized prophecy has come true it can not be reliably attributed to prophecy as there is no way of indicating whether it will ever come true or is in fact a reflection of past experiences and mental attributes affecting the author over a divine futuristic influence.
In terms of Nostradamus his prophecies can only be attributed as prophecies because possible events to which they may have been referring have come to pass.
Although slightly irrelevant to your point of belief I would point out that the Templar knights on the other hand are in fact a very real order founded in the 12th century with them sufficient historical information associated with them including paintings, texts and indeed artifacts and their own remains. More relevant to your point I am not stating that you can not believe a that a piece of writing is a prophecy, merely that it can not be proven and thus it is wise to interpret all possible meanings or risk biasing your interpretation.
