I have not had any memorable dreams this week. I probably did dream, but they were not of any real significance, so I did not recall them when the morning arrived. But last night, however, I had a dream that I did remember. Yes indeed.
I had taken a boat out to sea and kitted myself out in scuba gear. I was taking photos of the horizon when I noticed a disturbance in the water ahead of me. Some seagulls were floating on the sea, just resting themselves really, pure and simple. I saw a huge fin break the surface behind the birds, and a large mouth appeared and swallowed all the seagulls. The head disappeared but the fin stayed above the surface of the water. It moved towards me at breakneck speed and the shark smashed into my boat. From what I could make out it was like a basking shark in size, but instead of eating only plankton like basking sharks do, this one had a big old set of gnashers on him, and he was clearly a voracious killer.
Then for some unknown reason I jumped into the water. The carnivorous basking shark was chasing a blue whale down in to the depths. I grabbed hold of the whale's fin and sunk down into the darkness, with the shark following. We got so deep that it wasn't even possible to see. Then my nose started bleeding and it filled up my mask, stinging my eyes. The next thing I felt was the shark grabbing me around the waist with it's pointy teeth. And then I woke up, shaking.
I always seem to have nightmares involving sharks. Once I dreamt there was a shark in my parents bedroom, lying on their bed. When I went to throw him out the window, he started thrashing around. Then he swallowed me whole and I slid down his throat and into his stomach. It wasn't very pleasant.
Oh, and it's here that I should point out that when I woke up this morning I had had a nosebleed in my sleep.
