In the dream I was standing on a balcony looking at the ocean at night, strangely the water started coming in fast…I felt worried that I needed to get off the balcony but I saw in the water something ancient, some kind of prehistoric ocean creature. I was with one of my kids (who is always in my ancient-ocean beach dreams), and I new I needed to retreat into the building for our safety. It was some kind of public hotel or restaurant. We went back inside and then down some back stairs toward a parking garage but we could see through a big glass wall of windows that the water had filled the parking garage the lights of the garage were lighting up the water with a greenish eerie glow and I could see many different prehistoric water beings there…had they come back? Was I time jumping? Were they there to tell me something…something about evolution. Something about how they are also my ancestors, about how their environment changed and over time their bodies evolved, as ours did, and ours will. They were telling me something about how what we have now will have to change, the waters will rise, we will need to move and communicate in new ways and our bodies will change as they already are.
