I'm not sure if it's because I'm going whale watching this weekend, or if it's the thought of global warming looming on my mind, but I've had several dreams of whales and dolphins beaching themselves recently.
Last night I had an interesting one. I dreamt that I was at Baker Beach watching a dolphin swim just offshore. It was clearly a Bottlenose, but it was pink like an Amazon River Dolphin. I wanted more than anything to play with her, so I ran out towards the ocean. However, when I got closer she came towards me and beached herself on the sand.
In that moment, I realized that this was the closest I would ever be to her - that if she were in the ocean she wouldn't let me come near. I selfishly wanted her to stay, but I knew she would die. So I grabbed her by the tail and pulled her back out into the ocean. I went into the water with her, hoping she would hang out for a bit and play, but she did what I expected, and slowly swam away.
