Well, it is long time since I had a good dream to send to Maha Brahma (assistant in charge) for interpretation.
This time it is down to earth.
Unlike few decades ago it was going for birth day parties and wedding, now the trend is different.
I happen to go for funerals more often than not.
I do not know that the dream has any relationship to the funeral I went last but what I dreamt was of two grave diggers who were twins.
They were employed by the Kandy municipality.
Now that most of the bodies are cremated, they have very little digging to do and the ash left is only less than 4 Kgs, many of it can be sprayed under the remaining trees round the Kanatta (Mahaiyyawa) but that is also taken away for rituals by the relatives, their income is getting lower by the day.
One day they decided to go and do a different type of digging.
Dig some ancient treasures in the Paduwas Nuwara.
They set foot from Kandy to Kurunegala and stayed in a place for preparation.
One of them went out to get all the necessary items including jasmine flowers, lemon and chicken etc leaving the other to look after the grave digging equipment they treasured very much (even grave digging equipment is not safe nowadays).
When he returned to the resting place he found a guy looked similar to him in his bed and his twin in the other bed.
So when he entered the room all three were looking at each other puzzled as if they (all three) had seen a ghost and there was some commotion and I was woken up before the dream finished.
Maha was bit puzzled that I did not send him an email earlier than this.
What is the problem with you.
You are not sleeping well?
No Sir.
I sleep very well because of the industrial action and get up late too and forget most of the dreams by the time i get up.
So when you do academic work you dream a lot?
Yes.
Shall I settle the dispute?
No Sir.
If you do that I don't have time even to send an email.
On the contrary, our politician sleep a lot in between the elections and it is good for them to have a wake up call now and then, now that the honeymoon is over.
Now then how did the dream end?
Actually there were four of them.
What you saw was exact isotopes of the twin brothers.
The brother who remained was under the bed and he was frightened when those two guys walked into the room.
Were they ghosts.
No.
How come?
They had gone for a medical check up and doctors cloned them in case any one of them (normal guys) come for heart transplant or organ transplant.
Why?
Now that the war is over and refuges are not there price of transplant organs have gone up like the fish.
The nurses by mistake had given an overdose of hormones and they have rapidly grown up to full size and escaped from the hospital and ended up at the resting place.
I can understand logic now that stem cells experiments are going on at hectic pace but what is the interpretation?
I cannot give a time schedule lest you get into trouble.
Interpretation.
If I say in future, politicians who go for higher posts clone themselves before the election.
In case if they die during the campaign, the clone will come and represent the dead one.
While in office they keep them as a safety valve in case something happens during the term of office.
But the real reason is, now that the term of re-election time is indefinite cloning is essential for self propagation and continuation of development policies.
Doc is it really possible to clone Gods.
Why not?
That is why gods live for eons and your boss Maha has many clones, in case something happens.
Have you clone yourself?
No.
You better do that soon; There are many dogs here aspiring to take up your post.
Is it costly?
No.
We need only a few stem cells.
OK, I will seriously consider that possibility but I have to ask my boos Maha Brahma.
I got to go do you have any more questions.
I hear Mr. Praba also had a look a like clone in case something happens to him.
Is it true?
Did he clone himself?
No, No.
It was only a rumour he never wanted him cloned less the clone will kill him.
Can that happen?
Yes.
All clones have to be kept in secret location and a weekly dose of amnesia injection (treatment) should be given to maintain them in good shape.
Then when the real one dies an antidote of anti-amnesia injection is given by the panel of advisers surrounding the boss and the advisers take him to task and do what they please most.
If the first clone does not listen to the advisers, they dispose him or her and get another clone.
If they escape from interment he or she will certainly get rid of the real one.
Didn't I tell you your dreams are always futuristic.
Dream well and I will see you soon.
Don't forget to clone yourself but in heaven they do not kill each other unlike on earth.
Do they?
Nop, see you soon.
