THE DREAM - I dreamt that I was with my family on vacation. I asked my sister and her husband to go down by the water where there was an amusement park that we had been to before. When we arrived this very large whale with teeth emerged from the water seeming to almost attack us. I was very frightened, mostly by the size and unexpectedness of it. We left the area and that was the end of the dream.
