Archimedes (Arquímedes, also written Alquimedes) is a guide who appears only in the shared dream reached through the dream sphere beneath the Malvinas, in 1966, during the descent linked to Operativo Cóndor. He presents himself as an intermediary to the other world and sends the dreamers to find Dr. Balaguer, “the fulcrum”.

Description
He is never met awake. The dream opens when someone tunes into the dream sphere beneath the islands; Antonio Portet is the one who tunes in, and the dream-crystallizer Blue Stone opens the sphere. He has a mild, reassuring face, like a comedy actor’s, white hair and light eyes. His motto: «Dame un punto de apoyo y moveré el mundo —los mundos» (“Give me a fulcrum and I will move the world — the worlds”).
The five hundred years
He claims to belong to a very ancient order, from which he knows a hidden calendar. When five hundred years from the first light are fulfilled, the suns will align with the key and the tower of light, and the “knights of the outer void” will be able to move the worlds at will. The Esoteric Order of Dagon prepares the same alignment from the sea. The tower of light and two suns link him to Carcosa, the land of two suns, which the yellow egg holds like a miniature world. His prophecy’s tower of light is identified with the Columbus Lighthouse in Santo Domingo.
The fulcrum
He sends the group to Dr. Balaguer in the Dominican Republic, “the fulcrum” for the lever that moves the worlds, and builder of the prophesied lighthouse. The same Caribbean sea swallowed Flight TC-48 in 1965.
Open questions
- Whether he is a dreaming man or a borrowed voice, perhaps a messenger of the King in Yellow or a face of Hastur, is recorded as a hypothesis only.
