Some sort of journey

Date: 8/19/2024

Idk why, but the dream started like an introduction to a cartoon show. Danny Phantom, to be specific. And i don't know what song, but Nirvana played the opening music. The dream started with me and someone I honestly don't recognize in real life, but in the dream, we were apparently good friends who were having a rough patch in our friendship. We were at some weird festival. There were lots of ppl there, mostly men. I guess the festival was to see ppl off on a journey to strengthen them. People sang this cheerful song as me and this friend of mine had to hold onto each other and bungee jump off an enormous statue of an Italian man, who they called "The Mangina" for some reason. If you're reading this.....I have no idea where that came from or why this dream happened. Anyway. We sprang back to after the jump and fell again. Only this time, the cords broke like they were supposed to and we fell in a wide river and started swimming hard but the current rushed us out to a much more calm, very deep and more open body if water. Again, we grab each other and begin to float down this big, open body of water. We were moving in one direction like we were supposed to. He said something like, "This is the current of good reflection." And we had to say nice, strong things about ourselves that were true. We do the deed, and we let go and started floating side by side, and we forgave each other. Then we started slowly, calmly sinking underwater. Suddenly, a huge black-eyed, bloody mouth great white shark was after us. We knew we wouldn't make it. But the shark got close, so close I felt my foot hit it. It didn't attack us. It just chased us to the bank. After getting out of the water, we separated, and I walked by myself a short distance to my childhood home. I had to lift these heavy weights out of the way of my driveway as I made it to the door. I opened the door and before going in I called out for my dog we had when I was a kid. A little shih tzu. He came running in, I followed. Then I woke up.
