Encrypted messages and the Egyptian pyramids

Three things were in my mind when I went to sleep a few days before Diwali

1. That I will be attending a family get-together on Diwali


2. I have not written a review of the ‘Lost Symbol’ in my blog


3. And a book about Egypt and the pyramids

So as you can imagine my dream was a mega-mix of all these things...

I am home (It is not exactly my house but in the dream it is). I am waiting for all my cousins to come as it is Diwali. One by one they arrive and we all head towards the terrace of the building. This is where all the fun is supposed to happen.

I organise a game for them. The objective of the game is to decode a message and find the clues which will lead to a hidden treasure.

By that time I am airborne! I have a pair of beautiful wings and there is an angel (a really old man with wings) near me. Both of us are watching the contestants patiently at a few feet above the terrace fluttering our wings!

But try as they may, my cousins fail to find the answer. The angel gets kind of impatient and tells me that he does not have time and wants to find the hidden treasure at the temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt!! At that time in the background I can see a giant pyramid in the middle of an ocean (??) I try to calm him and ask him to wait.

Since I find that there is no way that my cousins will solve the puzzle I murmur the answer to them. When I turn around I find that the angel has disappeared...

Well..the rest.. I can't really remember..Hmm Maybe the angel went to find the treasure..any guesses??

The Flying ‘Things’ and the Golden Safety Pins

“It is coming!!”

“What??”

“Something scary, I am sure!!”

I wait with fear for the scary thing inside a house. I guess I was talking to somebody in the house, but can’t remember.

Anyway I secure all the doors and windows carefully. I know something is coming...

And they come. Something dressed entirely in black..And they are flying!!

On closer look, it seemed to be human...Hmm... It more or less looked like the Asuras (demons) we see on TV.

Anyway those things were trying to enter my house. What was I supposed to do???

And then I find myself outside the house. There are a lot of people around and they are moving about. I soon find out that the demons attack only those who move. That is, if we stand like statues, they won’t hurt us!!:-))

All the people around also seemed to realise this and they all stand like statues! Not even a blink! And the black things come and inspect us, watching us closely if we are moving!!

Soon I am in for a surprise. One of the demons comes and talks to me and gives me something..A large number of golden safety pins!!!! It seemed they acted as fangs for the demons..It worked this way: they put two safety pins into their mouths and there- two shiny fangs all set and ready to bite or whatever!!

As far as I can remember, I did not take those safety pins! I have had enough as it is!
