“Dream Momma, I dream I wake up adrift in the ocean. I am drowsy and floating (in a standing position) in softly, undulating water. It is dark and the water is very cold. I have on clothing and what seems to be a down vest, or maybe even a life jacket type thing. By all rights, either by the cold water, or clothing, I should be dead, hypothermia or weighted down by the clothing. I slowly look around….it is dark, except for these massive cloud formations that look like mountains springing from the sea and reaching the heavens. They have a reddish, golden glow to them and are providing light to me. I understand I am very far from any type of land or humanity. I think about sharks below. I am in awe, looking at the clouds, the feeling of power of nature, creation and beauty is all encompassing. There does not seem to be anyway I will survive and I do feel a calmness/acceptance.
Then I am plucked from the ocean, taken through space, and plunked down in another sea, dark also. However, there is a plane that has gone down in the ocean with a rescue crew and the last person they are rescuing. He is close to the plane, so they come for me, pull me into a boat.” (sic)
Dear Drifting Dreamer, Being adrift in a vast body of water usually means you have spent a fair amount of time fantasizing, a particularly feminine pastime. Possibly reality is too stressful. Dream Momma doesn’t know, but you do.
