Another intuitive dream about death...

 I sleep like the dead nowadays and seldom dream.. Or I should say I do not remember any dreams when I wake up. However, this dream which I saw a few years back gives me the creeps even now...

I am visiting my uncle's house(uncle and aunt passed away years back). There I see another aunt of mine sitting on the sofa, clad in a white and green silk saree, all dolled up as if ready to attend a party. 

"Where are you going, aunt?"

She does not reply. But then I somehow know that she is going on a voyage in a ship somewhere.

"Where are you going, aunt?" Again she doesn't reply and bends my head towards her and kisses me on the forehead. That's all I remember.

The next day, I was shocked to hear that my Aunt had passed away that morning!!! I still can't think of this dream without a shudder. Maybe she visited me to say goodbye forever...

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??

Hospitals, Babies and Museums- A Jigsaw Dream

Now this dream was more like a jigsaw puzzle..Was hard to find the head and tail of it..Anyway this is what I managed to put together...

I am in a hospital and waiting for the doctor. The doctor does some tests and tells me that I have critical Iron deficiency! Suddenly I get the feeling that I am really sick. My mouth is all dry and there is some sort of sour taste. And the doctor confirms that if I am not given the right medicine I will die (!!).

I can’t remember what happened next but it seemed I had become a resident of the hospital!! Fully cured? Probably..And I have a job there too..Any guesses?? To take care of cute little babies:-) And I am kind of famous there with all parents depending on me to take care of the babies!!!

Then..another break in the dream...I am now a small child with short hair and very shabby clothes.. Perhaps I was searching for a lost baby..anyway I am looking all over for something. 

Soon I find the place I am looking for..but it has transformed into a beautiful art museum..There are lots of people and I look around in awe...Hmm then what?

At some point I believe I saw my friend showing her new salwar with considerable excitement. It was of some impossible colour combination and there was nothing to do but to agree with her that it was really good!

I am a Spy??!!

Sigh...I never ever thought that I would become a spy in this life. Well, thanks to my hyper-active sub-conscious mind, it was made possible...in this very funny dream...

I am a spy. And I am not alone. There are a large number of girls who are all spies. Our aim is to secretly deliver some message to some place.

So I start walking (God knows where). On the way I see another girl, whom I recognize immediately as a fellow spy. So I whisper the secret message in her ear and move on. This girl now starts walking and meets another person and repeats the same procedure (What the hell!) Finally we meet somewhere and get the secret message all neatly written. It is telegrammed to my (poor) uncle who is our chief!

Everything is just fine until...

I get arrested by the police, because apparently I made some stupid mistake and gave the whole operation away! They ask me about the secret message and I feign ignorance. They search my bag and find nothing (since it was all telegrammed earlier, so clever!!!). And they let me go.

Outside, the whole spying community is waiting, obviously angry with me for making such a flaw... Suddenly a car appears and helps me escape from the tricky situation. But on the way I notice that my bag is not with me! I have to go back..

On reaching the Police Station, I find that there is a huge exhibition there (ahem!). I purchase a big bottle of shampoo from there and return home happily! :-)) (Girls will be girls, huh??)

No multi-tasking please!

In Office

Boss: Did you do that job I gave you earlier?

Me: Of course I did!

Boss: When??

Me: A long time back

Boss: But then why didn’t you give it to me? You know, you should hand over your assignments as soon as it is done..What were you doing anyway??

Me: Oh, I am sorry..I was busy mopping the floor

Boss: Here??

Me: No, no at home..And I was watching TV at the same time

Boss: Aha! That’s the whole problem! You shouldn’t be multitasking! You should do only one job at a time! You should concentrate on whatever you are doing...How many times have I told you..
....

Hmm...some dream huh?

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!

By Thunder!

My friends and I are on the terrace of a building… The weather is really great and we are all in a good mood. Suddenly, the sky darkens and our smiles disappear. It starts raining heavily and there is thunder and lightning too. A storm builds up and approaches us howling, and at frightening speed...

We are all scared to death and run towards a small room. Inside we find a man who also looks really scared. He is saying “This is a wooden cabin; we won’t be safe in here. We need to get out!’

And then suddenly the room transforms into a lift and starts moving down. But then, a thunder strikes and my arm gets burnt! I am in deep pain…

Soon the lift stops and I find that I am alone in the lift! Everybody else has disappeared. I get out of the lift and look around…There are so many rooms around but no one in sight…

The rest of the dream involved a lot of searching, running, jumping and so on. All left to your imagination:-)
