The sign consisted of straight lines and "waves" -that could be the zodiac Aquarius that is the source of power and the symbol for the people of Atlantis..
Could this be another hint that the island is actually the lost island of Atlantis?

I thought it alluded to that Hitchcock movie (Was it Vertigo?) where the guy gets bad vibes from the parallel curves drawn on a tablecloth by a fork.

Well, OK then! These people study Hitchcock more than anything, so why wouldn't they put in such a visual allusion practically as a matter of course? From IMDB:


Dr. Anthony Edwards..., sent to replace Dr. Murchison...as head of Green Manors mental hospital, is an impostor. When Murchinson calls the police, Edwards leaves, followed by Dr. Constance Peterson..., who has fallen in love with him and wants to treat his amnesia. She believes he is a medical doctor whose name is John. Skiing down a long slope, accompanied by Constance, John relives the memory of his brother being impaled on an iron fence with parallel bars, an accident for which he feels responsible. Police find the real Dr. Edwards' dead body and John is accused of his murder. Written by alfiehitchie (http://imdb.com/SearchPlotWriters?alfiehitchie)

The head of the Green Manors mental asylum Dr. Murchison is retiring to be replaced by Dr. Edwardes, a famous psychiatrist. Edwardes arrives and is immediately attracted to the beautiful but cold Dr. Constance Petersen. However, it soon becomes apparent that Dr. Edwardes is in fact a paranoid amnesiac impostor. He goes on the run with Constance who tries to help his condition and solve the mystery of what happened to the real Dr. Edwardes.

I don't suppose the similarities to Lost are accidental. A new doctor is brought into an institution, carries on an affair with someone else there, somebody winds up impaled to death, and the new doctor feels responsible for the impalement. And somebody has amnesia, and somebody's an impostor...well, OK, those 2 last elements could be similar by chance in a story as sprawling as this, but the other ones look deliberate.
