I'm not sure whether this one can qualify as "mystical" or not. It's certainly got some occult elements, but the overall feeling was just "dream-bizarre".
I was playing the god Thoth in a graphical puzzle-solving adventure-game type thing. I remember reading hieroglyphs on columns in some kind of open-air hallway (a loggia, I guess, although that's not really Egyptian) out in a desert. There were some jumpy parts where I was going several "screens" south into the desert. In another part there was something about going into a hall (the "large high-ceilinged room" sort), at the proper phase of the moon because then the "current" was going the right way (in and not out), and taking a vase (I think the word used was "cistern" although I'm almost sure that's not really what it was?) down off a fireplace mantel, and taking out various jewelry (jasper and then carnelian cabochons set in necklaces and matching earrings, I recall) and laying it on the floor. This was supposed to be preparing things so that Ra could arrive, or more properly be born, although he was going to be born adult. Ra was giving instructions to me as to how to do this ("First take out my necklace! Lay it so!" etc).
Now, this is all fairly normal stuff. A little odd, but hey, it's a dream. And it's kind of neat being Thoth, even if it is in a computer game. But here's the really WTF part: To the right of the fireplace was a kind of canopied area (like over a four-poster bed, without the bed underneath), the fabric being a dark blue with gold brocade if I remember right. This was the "shrine" area from which Ra was going to come forth. Within this shrine was a baby carriage - and not just any baby carriage, but a pink frilly one.
I guess if you are Ra, you don't have to worry about people questioning your masculinity.
