It was probably the pizza.
I just wanted to quickly record a dream I had that won’t let go of my brain.
I dreamt my dad had gone on an expedition to some really cold climate like the north pole or something. He got lost and the EC/R office manager went to find him. Random I know. Somehow I knew she had found him but I had to go anyway. So I get on this boat to go up there and the guide is telling us about the killer whales that we’ll see on the way. I look behind the guy and there’s ocean shore with these HUGE waves crashing everywhere. That’s always significant in my dreams because I’m terrified of that kind of tsunami-type disaster. The waves never seem to reach me though–in any dream.
Then all of the sudden I’m plunged into another story line where the boat is actually taking me on a scuba expedition, and then I realize that the scuba place is inside some kind of manufactured pit or something and it’s inland. There’s a huge coral structure in the pit or maybe it’s one of those huge monster clams (but way bigger than they would be in reality), and I’m diving about 30 feet down. Ther’s a bunch of sea horses and tropical fish. I even remember doing my 5-minute wait halfway up so I don’t get the bends.
After diving, I find myself in this strange house where I think I’m supposed to take a nap before I travel back to wherever it was I came from. The wife knows I’m there but the husband doesn’t, and when he comes home I’ve just gotten out of the shower and I have an irrational fear that somehow I’m trespassing and he’s going to be really mad.
So I wake up mightily confused, but the more I think about it, the more I remember how I FELT while scuba diving. It was the most absorbing, peaceful feeling in the world. Like I could do it all the time. It was great.
I don’t know why it’s significant but if anything, I want to see when I can go diving in real life. I’m certified but I’d need a refresher. There are quarries and stuff inland that I could go to, or I could go down to Beaufort or something. I don’t know. I just feel like I need to go diving. I don’t know how to interpret any of the other parts though.
