While awake...

Exit Mundi
(A great 'research' site.)
I am on a journey - an adventure - together with a group of people. I know all of them from different times of my life. We are now on an island. We have some kind of mission here. It almost feels like a competition of some kind. A storm is building up. A man is asking me how he and his friends can get off the island. I know, because I have been here before. I tell him that in order to leave the island one must take a boat to a harbour located elsewhere on the island, and from that harbour take yet another boat to mainland. The man is really taken aback by this. There really is no easy way out of here - and it will take a long time to do so. I am aware of that and I am not desperate, not yet.

While awake...

Do/Did you read The Phantom ?
I am driving up a street that looks like W. I see a variety of small markets and stores, most of which are pretty run down but still frequented by enough people to make it a crowd. I stop by a store to get fresh seafood. Now I am inside the store and I look around. It is early morning and the light gives the place a tired and yellow shine.

Now I am being taken on a trip out on the ocean to catch fish. I am together with another woman and a man. We are in a small motor boat and the ocean swells carry our boat along and it feels exciting but I am not afraid. We come close to an island and begin to place fishbates in the water. They look like pieces of bread. No strings are attached to the pieces of bread or organic material. Our boat has turned back toward the shore and now the man is in a separate boat. I move in front of him and continue to drop objects in the greygreen water.

Now I can see how vibrant the ocean is. The swell are getting larger now that we no longer are in the shelter of the island. In fact, I see how the ocean forms a deep, round, and enormous pothole and we are about to enter it. I think to myself that this is probably because we are now on open sea and the winds have free reign on this part of the water. I also have time to wonder whether this small boat will make it through that incredible dive through that hole in the water. I am not familiar with the sea and now feel unsure and unsafe. I have no idea of how to steer through one of these things! We are quite far away from the shore. Why this hole?
