In Santiago Rodríguez Olazábal's *El Soñador Eficaz* (2009), the reclining figure is depicted as deceased, embodying a profound spiritual transition where death marks the ultimate liberation and return to the ancestral realm of Ọ̀run in Ifá traditions, achieved through sacrificial surrender and effective dreaming as a pathway to divine wisdom.

The red flag protruding from the figure unequivocally signifies the attainment of this goal—symbolizing blood, victory, and the fulfillment of one's destined quest, as red in Yoruba cosmology often represents the vital debt paid to the Earth and the triumphant invocation of spirits. This mixed-media work, rooted in Olazábal's expertise as a babalawo and his Yoruba-inspired iconography, celebrates the dreamer's efficacy in bridging worlds, aligning with his broader explorations of fate, ritual, and cultural resilience in exhibitions like *ORÍ. El Òrìsà personal*.
