Wanting to Swim with Orcas

Date: 12/10/2017

In this dream during an afternoon nap, I was on a mountain and I looked out in the distance and I saw a group of 3 or 4 orca whales. I wanted to go down closer to swim with them, as this would be a once-in-a-lifetime chance. I was nervous and hesitant but I decided to do it anyway. On my way down the mountain, I could still see the whales in the distance and I could see a man there who was encouraging people to come and take pictures with them. There was no one walking by. I felt that he was talking to me only but he was so far away. Yet he was encouraging me to come down the mountain. So I’m trying to go down the mountain, but there’s different obstacles that are preventing me from getting down there quickly. One of them was a pile of unsteady VHS tapes that I had to stand on to get to the next lowest platform. I was holding an umbrella in my hand and I thought about going down the mountain, Mary Poppins style but got nervous. I thought if I went down with the open umbrella, then I could sit on it open to create a floating device for myself, since I can’t swim. The path of the mountain was curved down, like a spiral staircase just curving down once. At the same time, I was babysitting a teenaged boy with acne and I asked him to go to McDonald’s and get some food for himself. While I was going down the mountain, I could also see (like a vision in my head) what he was doing. And he was taking a long time to order.
