Theia meet the Rainbow serpent

Theia doesn’t just exist—she defines light itself.

Meanwhile, beings like the

Rainbow Serpent

don’t just exist either—they shape reality through the Dreaming.

👉 So when they meet, the question becomes:

Is reality made of light… or story?

Theia brings order, clarity, and visibility

Dreaming beings bring fluid reality, transformation, and timeless existence

💥 Result:

Time loops

Landscapes shifting like dreams

The sky flickering between daylight and spirit-world darkness

2. They Might Not Understand Each Other

Theia’s perspective:

“Everything must be seen and defined.”

Dreaming beings’ perspective:

“Things exist because they are remembered and sung.”

👉 This creates tension:

Theia tries to stabilize reality

Dreaming spirits reshape it freely

Rainbow Serpents are enormous reptiles known in many parts of the world for their creation and rain making activities, especially in West Africa, North America and Australia.

→ WEST AFRICA ←

in Africa, the Rainbow Serpent was the first creation of MAWU the supreme being. The serpent then helped create the rest of the world and when they had finished she wound herself into a great circle under the ocean to support the weight of the Earth. The rippling of her coils can be seen in the movement of the waters from which she sometimes arises to arch herself across the sky.

→ NORTH AMERICA ←

North American tribesmen often see the Rainbow Serpent. in North America the Rainbow Serpent played a large part in the creation of man and other animals, and then assumed the important role of providing rain. Occasionally she sleeps too long between seasons, so the ground begins to crack with prolonged route. The serpent's failure to appear in the sky indicates she is still asleep and she must be awoken with especially noisy music, vibrant dance, and eleborate ceremonies.

→ AUSTRALIA ←

Rainbow Serpents are prevalent in every part of the Australian continent where they have many names. Their tasks in the creation days was to carve out creeks, rivers, lakes, and water holes. The rivers have many curves because they follow the wriggling tracks of the serpent, and the water holes are round because that is the shape of a snake coiled up to rest. Nowadays, the Rainbow Serpent live in the depths of the water holes during the dry season. One must be very careful not to disturb them, or they will rear up with fury and create all manner of disasters by lashing their great bodies through the Earth and sky. In the wet season, the Rainbow Serpent emerge from the water holes to fulfill their appointed tasks by bringing life getting water to the land. The brilliant arches of their rainbowed bodies show that the serpent's are traveling from one water hole to another to make sure that they are well topped off for the upcoming dry season.
