Dream: First of all, I would like to say ocean/water/marine animal dreams have recurred more times through out the span of my life than I can count. Almost ALWAYS they are peaceful, fun, wonderful dreams. Especially in regards to dolphins, but not solely.
This dream was completely different...
I was on a war ship, I specifically remember thinking it was a military ship. It was partially sunken, and entirely dark. Only two people were on board to my knowledge, myself and my boyfriend. There was no dialogue amongst us, and at times there was almost a 'shape shifter' type thing(i.e. he was the only one on the ship as I looked on, then instead of my looking on, I became him as the only person on the ship, then both of us were on the ship). A few things stick out in my mind, it was dark, somehow I knew the water was cold, and I knew it was deep. From a portion of the ship that was underwater, there were windows looking out under the water and I saw dolphins (from memory, looking out the 'ship windows' looked like looking in at dolphins at an aquarium). The dolphins SCARED me (this is SO weird, dolphins ALWAYS give me peace and happiness in my dreams, this is an absolute first), the water they were in was not like the usual blue water filled with sun rays, it was dark. I also saw a very large squid in dark water, and sinking deeper into the water. The squid scared me very much as well.
That's it.
Significant Life Events: Job is going well, perhaps I feel the need to progress higher career wise.
Boyfriend is in Afghanistan
I am going to begin attending a program for career progression in the military which will be VERY challenging, time consuming, and potentially dangerous.
Relationship concerns and question lay heavily on my mind.
