Black Dahlia Hints

15 Clues

  • Special thanks to Olga Karkalas who was able to hear and record all 15 clues, which I have copied below with her permission:

    Dream Door:  The clues from the dream offices are as follows:

    1.  The fish are creatures of the moon though she avoids their company.
    2.  The crown and the bird sit on his R and L.   
    3.  Keys are creatures of the sun.
    4.  Serpent rises after the sun and sets after the moon.
    5.  The serpent will the chase the comet's tail if chased itself by the star.
    6.  The Bird and fish are the base of all.
    7.  Star follows the key.
    8.  West is right, east is left -- you know on which side the sun will rise and on which the moon will set.
    9.  A lonely fish loves the crown, though the lonely crown prefers the key.
    10. Comet is seen after the moon has risen.
    11. Key follows the shield when moon is far away.
    12. By day the shield surrounds itself with the sun and key, by night he prefers the moon and fish.
    13. No twin can stand its sibling.
    14. When the bird is away from the sun she's with the moon.
    15. The sun loves the bird but only when she's alone.

    Hint:  "Love" in this context means close to one another.  The "he"  refers to the gargoyle sitting on top of the door.

    Identify the symbols that should be with the sun or moon.  Then identify groups that must be together, such as the sun/shield/key group.  Try to arrange these groups relative to each other.
