SWIMMING UPSTREAM (October 22, 2000)
I dreamt that I was on a motorboat with some friends. The boat was on the slow side. It had a spacious deck, where we all sat and chatted. I am not sure which sea we were sailing, but I do not believe it was the Adriatic. All I remember was open sea. The day was sunny and the sea was calm. At some point we noticed a strange thing. To one side of the deck there was an upright board painted white. I have no idea what it could have been used for. Two large fish looking incongruously like carp were suspended in the breeze a few inches from the board just below its top. At first they appeared attached to the board, but they were actually not. One of the fish was slightly smaller than the other. Both had several long and thin pilot fish attached to their bodies on both sides. The fish behaved as though they were swimming upstream so as to stay at the same place. We marvelled at several things. First, the fish were out of water for quite a long period. Second, we could not figure out how they could remain suspended in the air for such a long time. The fish disappeared as miraculously as they appeared. No-one on deck saw them either arrive or depart.
