My mental circus, inside and out.

ice

Here is a dream.  Emma needs to cross deep water, frozen over by ice.   Unsure whether the ice is solid, she scoots over the log, sitting, because she's afraid to stand.  (Emma's balancing skills are not the best.)  At the midway point, the log begins to sink.  The ice is only a thin layer.  Emma plummets down into the water, which is surprisingly clear and blue, the way water appears in movies.  But when she attempts to swim, she finds her limbs paralyzed.  "Hypothermia!," she thinks.   She struggles and struggles to get her arms and legs moving and finally begins to rise very slowly towards the light on the surface.  She wakes up before she knows whether she has survived.

They say that when you die in a dream you die in life. It's a good thing you woke up.
