Was going to post this yesterday...
But, you see, I never came home in time to post it. ^_-
So I had this really fun dream. I dreamt that this young Jewish girl (maybe sixteen or seventeen) was helping me to sneak into an Egyptian temple. She apparently did this on a regular basis, and thought it would be a lot of fun to bring me along on this latest escapade.
Only in this dream I was apparently quite realistic about my own abilities to sneak around. We had to creep quietly along a ledge that was less than an inch wide and was made of some substance like, well, icing on a cake, and was on a steep incline. Don't ask me how we managed to get very far, but we did get a fair distance.
I kept slipping, even though I was managing to keep up somewhat, but to make matters a whole lot worse, there were searchlights moving around the whole place, looking for intruders, and we eventually got caught, mostly because I couldn't move quickly enough to avoid them, or so the girl claimed.
The man who caught us was the security guard at her high school, and he was none too pleased at her latest stunt. It turned out the temple we were trying to sneak into was her high school, and this was just the latest of a series of infractions. I wasn't especially fussed, ironically, as I knew I was in university and wouldn't get into trouble for this.
Luckily for her, the security guard just sent her home with a flea in her ear (along with me). Turned out her home was right next door, and she took me in with her, where her mother and at least one other sister (there might have been two) were preparing a Seder for the following week. Don't ask me how I knew, I just did.
The mother descended on me and peppered me with questions and other comments I don't really remember, all the while vaguely haranguing her daughter about getting in trouble at school, and at the same time continuing to prepare food with a vengeance. I made uncomfortable noises about having to go home, and so she turned to me and said something to the effect of:
"Oh of course! You and your family must do things like this all the time too!"
To which one of the daughters (I don't remember which) responded in a remarkably exasperated tone: "Ma! They're Goyim!"
I dimly recall a little more bickering among the family (there might have been a younger brother involved), but after that the dream fades away. Nonetheless, it was a lot of fun.
