the dreaming pool

Yes, I'm updating the dream log! No one faint.

I remember, lying in my bed, looking out a large window beside it.  There was a huge tree right next to the window, one of those trees that had knarls and knots in it.  The knots began to distort however, and I could see horrible masks and faces start to emerge.  Sharp teeth and horrible eyes.  I decided, that I did not want to see this, so I got up, and went out of the room.

Suddenly I was outside, I was on a dock or pier.  Wooden slats, kinda rickety, but I wasn't worried.  It crossed a pond or small lake, and then emerged onto what looked like a larger lake.  Yards away, in waters that were deeper, dolphins swam and emerged, and swam again. There seemed to be hundreds of them.  I thought I was near fresh water and I was confused as to why they were there.  I started humming a tune, a really nice song actually, one I had never heard before.  From the shores and trees and the dolphins themselves, they seemed to sing along with me.  I can't remember the words now, nor barely remember the tune, but I do recall it filled me with a sense of wonder and hope, and I truly enjoyed being there.  I know I wished a dolphin would swim closer, but it was shallow water where I stood, and I knew they couldn't come that close.

The dream skipped, and I was in a bathroom, naked in front of a mirror.  The door to the room was one of those translucent doors, that you can see thru a bit. On the other side I could see a man undressing, and I thought, oh no, that means he could see me.  But I looked at myself and realized that I had lost a lot of weight, and I didn't mind the way I looked at all, so seeing me would be okay.  Suddenly my ex husband, Neal, stormed through the door, holding all manner of birthday balloons.  He squealed "happy birthday!".  I said.. "it's not my birthday silly"... he said " i know but these were the best I could get. You are FREE don't you see! You're free and you should celebrate!".  With that he gave me a big hug and, indeed, I felt quite free.

The dream went on from there, but I cannot remember the rest.
