What is the dreamspell?
The Dreamspell is an esoteric calendar loosely based on the Maya calendar constructed by New Age spiritualist and author Jose Arguelles, in 1987. [1]. It is a 13 month (364 day) calendar, with an intercalary period. This included both a 365-day solar calendar called the Haab, as well as a 260-day sacred calendar called the Tzolkin, which Arguelles postulates to be based on galactic rotation. Arguelles interprets this calendar as part of what he calls a 'radiogenetic game board' that relates to both the I-Ching and to the 64-unit DNA code.

In the Mayan calendar, May 18th would be represented by a combination of both the Tzolk'in (260-day sacred calendar) and the Haab' (365-day solar calendar) dates. These two calendars would align on a specific day combination, creating a unique energy that the Mayans believed influenced events on that day. To determine the exact representation for May 18th, one would need to consult a Mayan calendar expert or refer to a specialized tool.

Why isnt there 13 months in a year?
It really depends on the calendar used. For example, the Jewish calendar has some years with 13 months. The designers of this calendar have made an effort to adapt it to both the solar and the lunar cycles. However, the internationally accepted civil calendar (the Gregorian calendar) has twelve months every year because this is less disruptive; dates for holidays, etc., don't move around nearly as much.
What calendars are based off the sun and moon?
Most calendars are in some way based on either the solar (Sun) or the lunar (Moon) cycle; some are based on both. Of the commonly used calendars:* The Gregorian calendar - the most widely used calendar worldwide - is based on the Sun. That is, the length of the year is based on the Sun; but the start of the year and the months is not related to any particular astronomical event.* The Jewish calendar is based on both the Moon and the Sun. As far as I know, it's the only widely used calendar that is based on BOTH. Some years have 12 months, others have 13 months.* The Muslim calendar is based on the Moon. A muslim year is about 11 days shorter than a Gregorian (solar) year.* Many other calendars are based on the Sun.
