|Description=One night, Diarmait has a dream in which two men, resembling a cleric and a layman, take off the king's diadem, break it in half and take one half each. The king awakes and describes his dream to Becc mac Dé and his poet (''file'') Cáirid son of Finncháem (his mother). They interpret the dream for him, saying that when Diarmait's reign comes to an end, there will be a division (''rann'') between the Church and secular Irish society (''tuath''); that one day, therefore, the Church and her lands will fall prey to secular power, without regard for older privileges of the Church; and that secular society will see an alarming rate of kinslaying. <!---78--->
