Dreaming

I am dreaming. I'm not dreaming something conjured up by my unconcious though. I am having a lucid dream - a dream in which a person knows it is a dream and can direct the dream. Harness the power of the subconcious if you will.

"I'd like to be, under the sea..."

Water is surrounding me. It is warm, comfortable, and safe. I can breath underwater or maybe it's that I don't need to breath at all. No matter, it is a non-essential detail so my dream just skips past that. No one else is here. I'm not lonely, but I want some company.

"Come with me, my love
To the sea, the sea of love "

There is a beautiful woman walking barefooted up above on the surface. She knows I am here, but is content to just walk around and let me watch her. Kicking my feet, I send ripples to the surface that expand in all directions. The surface is churned just enough for her to lose her balance and slip beneath the water. Smiling all the while, her long black hair smooths out along her body. Not a dolphin, but moving gracefully like one, she comes in close and rubs the stubble on top of my head for luck and laughter bubbles from both of us. We race around together until I decide to go ashore. Resting on the moonlit sand it takes some moments to notice she did not arrive with me.

"Walking on a wave she came...."

I am aware of the sound of waves now. Looking out at the water I see her. She is riding into shore on the crest of a wave. Stepping from the wave to the shore, for a moment she is silhouetted against the full moon. Again she smiles and offers me a small jeweled box.
