Swimmin with the fishies…

For some reason I had very vivid dreams all night last night.  I only remember one very clearly, and it was an amazing dream.  I was living on an island, but it wasn’t a traditional island.  It floated out in the ocean on top of the water, so you could actually swim under the island if you choose to.  I was standing out on a dock, looking out at the blue expanse of the water.  The sky was brilliant blue with a few wispy clouds hovering through the sky.  The colors that I saw were ultra bright and vivid.  The greens were truer, the flowers brighter, the whole island was more alive than any place I’d ever seen. 
As I looked over the water I realized it was teaming with life.  I could clearly see whales, dolphins and other fish swimming around in the water.  I looked straight down and saw a giant whale gently floating beneath the island.  Several of the dolphins were jumping near me, chattering to me, calling me to go swimming with them.
I jumped into the water and grabbed hold of one of the dolphin’s fins and it pulled me through the water.  We swam for awhile, not really going anywhere, just enjoying the feeling of being alive and in the water.
