About a year ago I had one of the most amazing dreams of my life. Since it was so long ago some of the details have become less vivid, although I believe I can remember most of it.
I'm swimming, swimming in an ocean. At some point I realize I'm not quite myself, and I'm actually a baby whale. The feeling is spectacular, brilliant. My parent whale is with me and it's teaching me how to swim, this way and that, and really super fast, I'm soooo fast. We are just swimming along seeing all the under the ocean sites when we decide to swim towards this island. Now I don't know if all of you have read "The Life of Pi", but there is a part with this creepy island that eats people and has fresh water. The island of my dream reminds me of this. We swim over to it, swim under and come up into fresh water.
The next thing my mind flashes to is not being a whale at all. I'm just my regular old self. I'm swimming in a pool with a bunch of people and we decide to race. This is when I remember that I used to be a whale and I actually know how to swim rather well and rather fast.
And..they're off! I'm lagging behind but then those old whale feelings just kick right in! I'm taking the lead, and it's miraculous it's as though I'm a whale in human clothing.
Damn I wish I was a fucking whale.
I wish you were a whale too.
