Swimming With Sea Monsters to Get to My Love (dream)

DREAM

The sky is gray. It's cold and windy out on the deck of the ship I'm on. I have to get to another ship across from this one. I can see the other ship from where I stand. But there is a monster in the ocean between us. 

I live in a multiverse of scenarios though. In one scenario, I jump into the water and the monster gets me. In another, I make it. But it's the third scenario that engages me the most. 

A girl falls in love with the man I want to marry. I can't allow myself to die and leave him to her. So I recklessly jump into the water and cross to the other ship, barely even thinking about the monster. Then I cling to the man I believe I am destined to marry. She politely steps aside, not knowing that if I had died, she would have been his lover. And I don't plan on telling her.


INTERPRETATION

I'm heading for middle age now, but I still think about the boy I had a passionate crush on when I was a teenager--the man I was supposed to marry in this dream. In real life, he's got a wife and kids and a fancy job, and hopefully he's very happy! But I guess in this dream, history is rewritten, and I end up the winner.
