From Sharks to Dolphins


*Dream*

We were walking on a beaten path alongside a body of water. There were trees all around us, tall trees. The water was to my left and there were very tall, slim trees to my right with tiny busy tops. Our guide was an African man, he was bald and confident. Weston was behind me. Our guide motioned to the top of the trees to the right, and in the top of the tree was a nest and all I could see was a large beak peeking through a mass of feathers ruffling everywhere; he then said, “Watch this,” and motioned to the bird in its nest while making an odd, loud, screeching noise, the bird followed with an even louder squeal. Our guide then motioned towards the water, and I spun around quickly to find two fins simultaneously reach the surface of the water, parallel to one another, swimming towards the shore. SHARKS-My first thought.

Startled, confused and shocked, I turned smiling to Weston and the guide and said, “If you push me in I will kick your ass.” Before I knew it, Weston had hurled me in the water. Upon impact, the fish had turned to dolphins and the dark, murky water became a safe, contained aquarium. As soon as my head reached the surface, I awoke. 

Still confused.
