i had this odd dream the other night. It went a little something like this:
some distant family that i hardly ever see invites me and a friend to their house on some beach (which doesn’t exist in reality, mind you). We get there, and it is a crazy place. Anyway, they ask me and the friend if we want to go fishing. I am not big on fishing, and my friend is, but i say yes, and the friend says no. So anyway, i get on this boat with them, which is like 150 feet long (i dont know, but it was really big, like a cruise ship that they had all to themselves, which they also don’t have in reality). Anyway, we head out into the ocean. Now here i am drawing a blank, like time just skipped forward. Now we start to fish, when i see this huge fish, maybe 30 or so feet long. it dives down deep, and i jump in after it. Out of nowhere, i pull out this knife, and i follow this fish down hundreds of feet under water. after a couple of minutes (and i definitely can’t hold my breath that long) i find this underwater cavern thing where i take a breath of stale air. Then i dive back down and go hunting for this fish. After what seems like hours, i go back up to the boat, where i buy (from the store on deck) some sort of wire, which is like a snare trap you would use on land, but for fish, and the guy guarantees me that if i can get the fish to swim through the hole i will catch him. SO i go back down, and i have some trouble catching up to the fish because he is so fast. After a while, they decide it is time to leave up top, so i get back on the boat, with my snare thing still tied to the back of the boat. we head in to shore, except the boat is going backwards. i worry about this, but then i realize there is no propeller on the back like there should be, and i am not worried anymore. then i see the fish swimming straight toward me, and i htink to myself that if i can pull the line in and hold it out in front of me he will swim through the hole and i will catch him. so i start to pull in the line which is dragging in the water behind us, and when i finally get the end close to me i see that my friend’s arm is stuck in the trap and i am pulling him into the boat. By the time i get him up on the boat, we are scraping up to shore against some corral (at least that is what i think it was) and the fish is still heading straight at us. I try to get my friend’s arm out of the trap, and then, i think something happened but i don’t remember it and then i was awake.
Just wondering if anyone had some thoughts on this. i am kind of new to the whole idea of lucid dreams (i am hoping i can get into this soon) and dream symbols and such, and just thought i would see what anyone thought. Sorry it was so long, but it’s just that this has been the first time in a long time that i have remembered a dream in such great detail.
