The Living Force
This was a very short, very odd dream I had on 4th Jan 2016.
I was in a submarine. Not a military one, more like one of those research/scientific explorer types. Very small, pod like, with good visibility all round. Glass surrounded me and I could look out into the sea.
In the sea, I saw a large school of fish, they were very peaceful, graceful and beautiful. The environment around them was calm. I saw the faces of my brother, his partner and my niece on those fishes and I thought. Wow! I'd like to be like them. What a great life they have, being part of a school of fishes, and they look so happy and content, too - not to mention busy and productive in a way that fishes are. Mother Nature at it's best, and I wanted to be a part of that.
At the same time, I was aware that there were predators about (in the sea) and also underwater conditions that were less than hospitable and potentially quite hazardous.
I became aware that the air in the submarine was running out. It felt ironic to me that I had a choice. I could either suffocate due to lack of oxygen in my underwater vehicle, or join the 'fishes in the sea' and potentially suffocate there (drown). I don't have gills, and I felt very sure that I didn't want to be a fish.
