Aaaand, uumm, what's the psijic endeavor, the enatiomorph and the scarab - new man thing?

Psijic Endeavor

The Enantiomorph is kind of hard to explain. It starts with a clash or joining between two complementary things (think yin-yang). It apparently requires a witness to see the clash and determine that the two things clashing are seperate things. There is two ways I've noticed the Enantiomorph works in the end, one way it works is a force (known as the rebel) wins the clash and takes the place of the other (known as the king); this can be seen with Lorkhan and Aka. Another way it works is the two forces create something new (sort of a symbol of reproduction), this can be seen with the clash between Anu and Padomay in which theirs souls (Anuiel and Sithis) intertwined and created the Aurbis, or with the joining of Talos Stormcrown and Arctus to create Tiber Septim.

The Scarab transforming into new man is a more unknown concept. From my knowledge, I believe it is the joining of three entities to create one super-entity, a trinity. An example would be Vivec, Almalexia, and Sotha Sil joining to form ALMSIVI, or Hjalti, Wulfharth, and Arctus (possibly Tiber Septim, Talos Stormcrown, and the Underking) joining to form Talos the god.

So the Godhead could be anyone in our world (for example) who just has some crazy fantasy and is sleeping a very long time, and the thing (person? creature? pure source of light? I still don't get it) called Anu managed to realize it was part of a dream, and then sort of took control over the person in our world?

I wouldn't oversimplify the godhead by saying it is just some dudes dream, it is god, a dream may just be the best way to explain its presence.

The Amaranth doesn't control the Godhead, the Amaranth is a new godhead that escapes the dream and creates its own.

And would this mean that if I manage to realize that I'm part of the Godheads dream, but I have the smallest ego ever, then I'll be erased and everyone will forget everything about me? And all I've done'll also be erased or done by someone else? This is where I disagree with the common notion on "Zero-Summing". Eight Aedra Eat the Dreamer implies that the Zero Summing of an individual can be remembered. I believe that in we may very well have witnessed a Zero Sum, that being of Septimus Signus.
