First, the remembered dream-bits.
My partner, our friend, and I were on holiday. In our hotal room we started sorting through my CDs. Then our friend was showing me this scene from what I think was Star Wars, where the Ewoks are all celebratory and dancing about. Then she rewinds the tape and show me this bit which she claims is one of an actor being raped in the midst of the Ewok jamboree. I, in common fashion, go to the computer to prove her wrong by using Snopes, but there's no internet connection (something I've dealt with regularly in reality as of late.)
Then, some indeterminate time later, I'm looking out of the window and admiring the graveyard which seems to fill the entire grounds of the hotel. I notice, interested, that there are some very ancient stone carvings, some suggesting Egyptian carvings of gods, when I notice a huge green figure coming towards me. Anubis, made of green stone, is walking towards the window I'm gazing from. His right leg is odd, where his shin should be (knee to ankle) is a thick chain, but that doesn't seem to stop him from walking quickly towards me and then putting his hand straight through a pane of glass to point a finger at me. I sigh, and say something along the lines of "Yeah, yeah, I know, okay! You didn't have to break the window...." he goes away, and then another Anubis is walking towards me through the graveyard, only he has the body of green stone, and the head of a chocolate lab. Sensing more property damage, I yell "Okay, I got it already!" and he walks away as well. Then Horus starts walking towards the window, all green-stoney, and I yell something to the tune of "Fuck's sake, if you deities don't stop hassling me..." he walks away. Then, crashing through my window, comes a human body with a Gorilla's head and chest. He also is made of green stone, and he starts running towards my partner. I run over, look at him and yell "That is it! Get out, now!" and he dejectedly leaves quietly through the now-shattered window. Later I have to warn a vacationing family away from the window; they were playing frisbee near the broken glass, and I didn't want them to hurt themselves.
What makes this take on a more interesting tone is this post, which my partner made. While she was dealing with Solvakian computerized Hermes, I was being divinely prodded by Thoth. That experience was four days after my birthday; this one is two days after my birthday, a year later.
I should note that I have little interest or experience in Egyptian God(s)(esses) and that Greek myth is something I am more aware of.
Also, what the fuck is that gorilla guy? It seems supremely unlikely to me that there was an Egyptian Gorilla-headed God... any ideas?
...or was it just their way of saying "Happy Birthday"? |
