The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) uses a burning cross as a symbol of its ideology, representing both a perverse form of intimidation and a perverted expression of their beliefs in racial superiority and white nationalism. The act of burning a cross is intended to evoke fear in marginalized communities, particularly African Americans, and to signal the Klan's presence and power. Historically, the cross burning has roots in the group's origins in the post-Civil War South, where it was used as a method of terror and as a symbol of their commitment to white supremacy.

What does it mean to dream about monks dressed in purple lighting a wooden cross on fire?

Lighting a cross on fire is a symbolic act representing extreme and often violent racism, performed by the Ku Klux Klan, (KKK) a much-hated and feared secret organization in the United States. KKK members conceal their identities by wearing white robes with pointed hoods, which might be mistaken for monks' robes. The color purple represents royalty and, by extention, power. A dream about the KKK in purple robes suggests fear of organized, violent racism gaining significant power. However, dreams are about the dreamer, so this suggests the dreamer may feel threatened by racism, or possibly attracted to ideas leading toward racism. See attached link about the KKK.

What stoped wegener from proving that the continents were once together?

Additionally, Wegener faced resistance from the scientific community who were skeptical of his ideas based on the limited evidence he presented at the time. Lastly, the technological advancements necessary to provide compelling evidence for his theory, such as satellite mapping and deep-sea drilling, were not available during Wegener's time.
