Surely we agree there are 8 people in that drawing?

How the upper seven (female, awake, naked) nymphs could represent the seven (male, sleeping, clothed) youths of the legend is a bit unclear to me.  Which is not helped by having one of the Sleepers (not drawn on the VMS) later buy bread from eight naked ladies, which look just like the seven upper ones, in a market place that had just been flooded knee-deep.  But presumably their oven and bread shelves escaped the flood by being on a higher ground, just outside the page.

I will remain consistent and use an analogy that has been voiced here many times before. The images are transformed so that their origins are not immediately apparent at first glance, yet they remain intelligible to the initiated. The same applies to the transformed text—much like the transformation of plants found in apocalyptic literature and protective scrolls. It is simply a symbolic language employed by the author. Treat this as a fact that must be accepted. Without this initial premise, I, too, would be searching through balneology texts, medical treatises, and herbals—areas where many people have already been working for years. I am attempting to blaze a new trail here. Thus, the same system of visual transformation was applied to Jacob's Ladder as well.
