I had a dream that I slid into the water of a calm crystal sea. As my body touched the water it turned into the sleek form of a dolphin. I swam into a reef-that-wasn't-a-reef and began to eat a thing that looked like a stick of red-and-white clay, but was as brittle as a candycane. It tasted like a pineapple. What looked like a dolphin/shark hybrid swam up to me. In the Mind-speech of the People,(animals) it said to me:
Beware the stick-broom/it leads to your doom.I understood perfectly, for reasons I do not understand. I wandered off, eating "coral" as I went:
yellow-
blue-
pink-
grey-
red-
orange-
silver. My color changed as I ate. I continued:
Green-
pink-
silver-
blue-
orange-
Wait! Beware the stick-broom/it leads to your doom. I continued, unknowing... the stalks became more rubbery:
yellow-
blue-
green-
pink-
grey-
brown. I swam up. It was bristly... A whirlpool started to spin around me-I fell...Down...And-
And I woke up.
