The other night, I dreamt about fakir magic--sort of.
I was accompanying my parents to this spa place. The road going there was very steep. Our destination was a big tree house. We were just walking and walking. My parents did not find the walk difficult, unlike me who was panting all through out.
When we got to the top, the masseuse is an old lady whose face was sunk in. She has a younger-looking assistant but whose face is also rather wrinkled and sunk in. They were wearing brown gypsy robes.
The tree house was very spacious. The furnishings were all made of wood. There was no bed inside, only a mat on the floor.
What is fakir magic? From
ThinkQuest--
Fakirs are Indian "magicians". They are supposed to have supernatural powers, and are able to do famous physical feats that defy the maxims of Western Science.
Right from the start, the Western side has always been baffled by the Fakirs, about how they can lie on a bed of nails without getting injured, or even yogis able to keep their head in the soil and survive without air for minutes.
Fakir magic is most famous, or to the Western, infamous for the tricks of levitation and the "rope trick". Fakirs like to perform levitation, whereby they will go inside a tent and seem to lift themself off the ground. After which a helper would remove the tent and show the fakir floating, and the audience can try to find ropes by using their hands and going around the fakir. After a while, the tent is put over the fakir again and slowly he seems to float down, and soon, be on his feet again.
The rope trick is performed when a fakir seems to throw a rope up into the sky and the rope will not drop, instead, hanging straight like a bamboo pole rooted to the ground. Then, he will make one of his child helpers climb up the rope. Upon reaching the top, the child helper will disappear, and soon, the fakir climbs up the rope too. Of course, they will reappear, but this fakir magic clearly baffles people's minds and no one can really give a logical explanation themself. The only people that know the truth, are perhaps, the Indian fakirs themself.The one about the Indian rope trick is that it did not mention that the fakir will throw the child to the ground with the child's body parts dismembered. Of course in the end, their magic will show that everything is just an illusion.
In my dream, the old lady was performing levitation on the client. After that, she was pressing the face of her client on the ground (like suffocating him). She also twisted his arms and legs in unnatural ways. But surprisingly, the client finished the "massage" unscathed and came out in a very relaxed state.
I was so glad the rope trip was not done. I was covering my eyes all throughout the "massage". You know, with one open; because I was curious.
The old lady used an instrument she called an "Elvis Presley Hole". I do not know where in my subconsciousness that came from. The "hole" takes out the person's urine out of his body without the person actually urinating.
Really weird, I tell you. I think I invented a new term.
Anyway, I just wanted to record this dream.
PS. Can you suddenly feel a cold gust of wind come in?
