Under the sea

Date: 1/1/2020

I need to go under the sea to get something: So I am at the beach and something important is under the water, I sense some old friends around me (Spencer was there) and someone who reminds me of the Rodriguez girl from Fast n Furious. They had already been underwater and were working to cut some kind of tangled wire to get something important, but they weren’t able to make much progress and didn’t go down very deep. Only a meter I think. Girl was sick so I gather equipment: I decide I will go, I think someone else (another girl) helps convince me to do this. I’m concerned because although I’m a great swimmer, diving isn’t exactly my thing and I don’t have much training. I remember double checking with someone knowledgeable about how long I can safely stay down at certain depths. I discuss that it is ok to stay at 2 meters for 25mins, then up for 35 min. (This is in fact not true, you can stay at that depth for much longer), but in the dream I just took this as fact. She comes with me but it is almost night and can’t see much: The sick girl is up and she is in no condition to come with me, and another problem, it is getting dark soon and we won’t be able to see very well (I can remember checking my watch several times and being a watch collector I was rather annoyed that one of the indices was bent upward in the wrong direction - I think it was the 40 min one). We have a close moment where I tell her that I will take care of this and she really needs to rest, but she IS coming and I make my peace with it. I go around and find some equipment. I can definitely remember going into a kitchen with ppl, perhaps familiar, and Climbing onto the counter with ease to retrieve a long extended kitchen knife atop a fridge. I figured this would make a good weapon, even though I was worried the steel might rust after exposure to sea water. I think I wanted to impress the girl in the kitchen standing by the counter I quickly hopped on. Not sure. I make my way after her and it is suddenly dry: So the sick girl seems to be feeling a bit better and we are at the water’s edge, I’m instructed to look into the water and I see a large dead Marlin fish wrapped up and floating near the bottom, the visibility isn’t so good and it is getting close to dark. I think that with this carcass that there will be sharks in the area (thanks Hemingway...) I go back up quickly and fumble for my knife. At this point I’m told there is also a baby marlin close by because the large dead one was his mother, I think I can see him out in the distance. She goes in and descends first, it is kind of like walking down a sloped path under the water. Visibility gets really bad and I have to wait for her to go further ahead before I can see well enough to follow (maybe from the kicked up sand), there are many underwater reeds, but there seems to be a path through them. As I struggle to make my way along I suddenly notice that traveling is easier and behold I’m no longer in the water. I think this is strange and begin to look around. Underwater town of sorts an island almost with magical things: It is indeed an underwater place, I think magic is involved in the process or keeping it this way (the people down there definitely had magical type abilities). There are people and my friend suddenly becomes two and both now seem to be male. They are discussing something with someone. I think there is a fight scene with my involvement, but I just can’t seem to pull the details of this up, I’m clearly the better fighter here. I look around and find the water/air edge: I go out to explore and I’m able to travel very quickly down a sand pathway, perhaps flying, I have a lit cigarette (I normally don’t smoke) and I can see the underwater barrier’s edge closing fast, so I try to stop, but end up gently breaking the barrier and getting wet, including the cigarette (maybe that was the reason for holding it?). As I was heading there I noticed many things that looked like a theme park, including giant statues of giants? On the way back to where my friends are things seem to be more difficult to see than on the way down, but I look for the structures that I saw on the way down to the underwater edge. I come across what looks like a little Harry Potter type town street (visibility is now good and bright) and as I’m moving up the street I have a keen eye open for anything useful. I think to look for enchantments or something useful later but don’t see anything: Despite many signs, I wasn’t able to find anything magical that I could have taken back with me to help me on land. Bummer. When I come back the other two had been negotiating the release of an old childhood friend (Vince Ps.) I stand by the door just as it is opened up and try to pretend like I had been there helping negotiate the whole time. I then go in and see Vince, he looks good, younger (20-30) I pat his arm and he tells me that it is good to see me too. I’m thinking of returning back up, but I’m trying to decide which is the best way to go, the way we came or going from the edge I ran into earlier. There might be concern as to making my way through the water before we get to the beach.
