I was in the ocean, which seemed like an extra large
swimming pool. I seemed to be doing some
sort of research on "shipping lanes" which seemed to be travelling
lanes for crossing the ocean. People
were waiting in this pool area for their assignment of lanes. Everyone departing at a certain time had the
same lane. I had a card that said
shipping lane 2, but I meant to protest that I really didn't want to
depart. I was only doing research. I thought it fascinating that nearly everyone bobbing around in the water had a
laptop computer or ipad which floated on the water while they worked on
them. Sometimes, the device became
completely immersed, then retrieved, but worked fine. I was amazed
at the waterproof electronics. All
seemed to be waiting to go through a type of customs station prior to
departure. I was told that couples were
often able to go together even if they had different shipping lane
assignments. There was a man who had
missed his lane assignment 1 and wanted to go with the 2s. I was asked to accompany him. I protested saying, they could see on his
passport the shipping lane number and wouldn't let him through. Oh, well, tried it anyway. This man was kind of strange looking, almost
like a blond Hitler. But, he seemed
nice….We proceeded through the station.
Our papers were looked at briefly and we were waved through. At that point I seemed to wake up from the
dream, but little did I realize that what I woke up into was another
dream. In it, I was telling those around
me that I had just had a strange dream about shipping lane assignment. However, my main concern was the waterproof
electronics. Was that really
possible? Is technology that
advanced? People looked at me as if I
were behind the times. Of course, they
said. Where have you been? At that point, I awakened from that dream and
thought I was in real life, realizing that both had been dreams, only to
actually awaken AGAIN, really in my bed and glad that I remembered something
from the dreams. I played them back in
my head until I could get up, get dressed and get to my real life computer.
