Dream

Posted on August 16, 2009 in Dreams

I’m at the beach. There’s a deep, V-shaped trough between the actual beach and the mainland. People who sit in the trough are overcome by the waves and sometimes drown, so I scramble out of it and sit on the crest of the sand dunes. Feeling smug, I look out to sea. A gigantic blue wave forms. I can see sperm whales, pilot whales, dolphins, giant squid, and large fish being carried up by it. It smashes against the beach, covering me several feet deep in the tide. I catch my breath before it hits, though, and am able to hold it until the water subsides.

My anxiety is, strangely, minimal.
