Upon waking up the next morning, the first thing that came to my mind was the extraordinary dream I had experienced.
In my dream, I was floating high above the Earth, with a feeling of sadness and nostalgia. From my vantage point in outer space, something seemed amiss. The planet no longer appeared harmonious with its balance of green and blue hues. Instead, an overwhelming amount of blue dominated the view, while the presence of greenery was few and far between.
I tried to understand what had altered, while a powerful force pulled me toward Earth. Rapidly descending, I beheld a startling transformation-vast expanses of water had replaced much of the land, leaving only scant areas of solid ground behind.
Shocked by this revelation, I fell at an alarming speed pondering my eventual landing place. Only then did I become aware I wasn’t inside a spaceship or any other craft; instead, I plunged into the deep blue water with increasing speed.
My next recollection, I was swimming in the open sea without any diving equipment. Somehow, I could breathe underwater as if I had done it many times before.
In the distance, a colossal shark loomed on the horizon, steadily approaching. The creature’s jaws remained closed, and I couldn’t help but wonder if I was next on its menu.
On A Collision Course
A mundane vessel now takes on a mysterious allure as it materializes beside me, its portholes inviting an unexpected spectacle. Curiosity peaks as my gaze shifts into the depths, unveiling a scene that’s both surreal and captivating beyond imagination.
A herd of wild horses, their hooves pounding against the submarine’s sides, charges with reckless abandon, led by a glowing white Unicorn-a creature from another world or perhaps a dream. This fantastical herd gallops through confined corridors within this submerged vessel, as if chasing its own shadow across unseen waters.
I acknowledge that this account might sound absurd; however, In this dreamlike world, anything becomes possible-a realm of imagination unbound by the constraints of reality. Through the portholes, I continued to observe the extraordinary scene unfolding before me.
As the herd approaches the aft section of the vessel, my anticipation heightens-the fear of an impending collision and the expected chaos it might bring. Yet, with every beat of my heart racing faster than the galloping hooves, a sudden revelation unfolds: the submarine’s rear opens up to reveal a set of fearsome teeth that pierce through the illusion. The shark is my last memory. The world around me fades into nothingness-a black curtain drawn over the extraordinary scene I was witness to.
Trapped In A Strange World
When I came too, I found myself wandering through an eerily abandoned town that had seemingly materialized out of thin air. Posters the size of billboards pinned on the walls declared, “We will always be in power, and you will all bow to my will or suffer. Mermaids are exempt.” Puzzled, I recognized that I wasn’t a mermaid but was suspended above the water, seemingly defying gravity.
Beyond Logic
For a considerable period, my memories merged into hazy, indistinct images of vast gray shapes, boxes, and floating shopping bags, and others I can not quite remember swirling chaotically above me within a dark dank windowless room. My heart pounded as I frantically tried to pry open the door, but it remained impenetrable, leaving me feeling increasingly trapped and anxious. That was the end of it. I don’t remember anymore.
Undeniably, this dream was extraordinary to say the least. If there were subsequent segments to the dream, I fail to recollect them. Consequently, I hastily jotted down the main parts of the dream I remembered and later embellished the memories, to make the dream a little clearer to read for posting.

Note:
Though the meaning behind these disjointed elements remained elusive, I couldn’t shake off the feeling when I woke that they held some hidden significance, waiting to be unraveled. I have joined up the dots added a little imagination and come up with this post (shahd 2024).
