Strange Dreams

In my latest dream I was in a small town where the active culture surrounded themselves with tools of divination. Most people used these tools to predict who would make a good mate for them, or to help them find one. One girl I met, named “FSL” had just sold her divination items to a local pawn shop. Later on in the dream I found myself in the pawn shop, where I found the girls “chips”, which is what kind of divination tools she had. I bought them. They looked like a string-bead necklace, but the beads were about a half inch in size, and instead of being made of a traditional construction material, they were made of segments of hollowed out human bone. Each bead/chip had two or three symbols carved into its surface around its circumference.
Another girl and I took them to a specialist to teach me how to read the chips. I can’t remember specifics, but lengthy parts of the dream were explanations from the specialist. You had to rotate the individual beads until the characters or symbols were shown pertaining to a question you wanted to ask it. Then you had to perform several simple mathematical functions corresponding between the beads, and the current phase of the moon. It was all very technical and strange.
