Last night I dreamt that I was a penguin. I was hopping across these little floating icebergs that were all in this windy line. I was with another penguin, Hubie, the penguin from "The Pebble and the Penguin". I haven't seen that movie since a while before the house burnt down. He had this baby penguin he was trying to carry in his mouth and a pebble. I grabbed the pebble for him and he took the baby penguin. Then I realized that at th end of the line the icebergs were being pulled into this whirlpool so I started hopping back across them quickly and fell into the water as they were being sucked into the whirlpool. I started swimming and saw a big Orca coming at me. I quickly swam in a zig zag pattern and tried to get back on one of the icebergs. I was hanging onto one when the Orca lifted it up on it's side. Somehow I held on but it seem like forever. Then I was me again and I was playing a video game with these penguins and my game ended because I ran out time, but the penguins were safe because they were on a large iceberg.
It was really strange. Perhaps it comes from my love of water and superb swimming ability.
