Today is 27.10.2010. A few nights ago I saw myself perching onto the side of a thing that was in moderate motion. I could not see ahead very well as part of that "thing" was blocking my view. After some little time the movement seemed to be upwards. All of a sudden I saw myself kind of settle on some open attic and the "thing" rolled away from me and also settled on the same attic near me. This thing was now visible totally as a bundle of about 6 stout and heavy sticks. There was a man who had been carrying that bundle and had just "thrown" it onto the attic. Other men materialised and were bringing their bundles and placing them there. What suprised me most was why these men were not seeing me. Didn't they know I was about to be crushed by those bundles? At last I fluttered away kind of like a butterfly or cockroach because of vibrations from those bundles. I reached near the ground and hopped into the adjoining room to hide myself. I thought nobody saw me do that but I was mistaken. I hid myself under a desk and was very comfortable there until I saw a man lurking to catch me with some trap. On it was clearly written COCKROACH. He had a bottle and intended to throw me into it. I instantly knew I was a cockroach and really feared for my life.

Somehow that scene ended and now I saw another "man" look at me. I gave him my best smile but he recoiled and frowned. It then dawned on me that that guy misunderstood my smile. He just saw funny movements of mandibles!
