• Due to the enormity and complexity of this dream I have chosen to post it in two parts. Happy reading!
I am completely overwhelmed with this paralyzing fear that I am about to meet an utterly gruesome and terrifying death; that the world is going to open up and swallow me whole, ripping my body to shreds as it collapses in on itself. Adding insult to injury, I am lost in the middle of the fucking ocean, bobbing in dark, choppy and turbulent waves. Not only am I going to feel my body being torn apart; I’m simultaneously going to drown! My only comfort is the presence of my mom fighting against the waves next to me for I am unaware of the evil lurking beneath us…
Suddenly, I am submerged by a giant swell, my mind screams at me to fight the pull of the ocean but I am frozen in complete fear at the image emerging through the dark and murky water. We are being hunted by the savage of the sea, the vicious and near indestructible, Great White Shark. With a rush of adrenaline I burst to the surface and scramble aboard the rickety raft waiting for me, barely escaping the powerful jaws of the pursuing shark. My mom quickly finds her own skiff; we both grab our oars and frantically row in efforts to evade the ferocious hunter. Sadly, it doesn’t take long to realize that we are not going to make it, that the Great White will overcome us and tear us to bits, that, once again, our death is a certainty…
But we are saved! Surging over the angry ocean waves is an enormous Killer Whale who, within seconds, smashes into the viral shark, sending our hunter sailing through the air. Thus begins an apocalyptic battle between two of the oceans most ominous and feared beasts. Despite the phenomenal scene unfolding before us there is no time to linger; my mom and I must clear the battle grounds before becoming casualties of war. More than once, our tenacious savior, so consumed by his desire to kill, nearly destroys us with his gigantic bulk as he fervently attacks the shark. Finally we reach calm water but our peace is short lived; we know the whale is fighting a losing battle and it is up to us to help. Not knowing what to do we sit and agonize in questioning silence…
The dilemma is solved by a pearly white unicorn horn that materializes next to my mother. It radiates flashes of color and light and we immediately understand its great power; for this is no ordinary unicorn horn, it is more like a magical staff that grants the will of the one who yields it. A mischievous grin plays across my mom’s face and she quietly lowers herself into the dark and forbidding ocean and swims to the pier miles behind us. I watch as the glow from the enchanted talisman fades from sight until it becomes a tiny speck beneath the ocean’s surface. My mom leaves it secured to the pier, knowing that its beauty and power will attract and hence distract the raging shark, giving the Killer Whale ample opportunity to destroy our hunter. Or so we think…
TO BE CONTINUED…
