Dream Of a Jellyfish

??/??/??

I had a strange dream last night. It went as follows:
I was still a human, as I usually appear in dreams, however by some unknown force or will I was drawn to the sea. Through a sandy path I was led to a small beach, I walked right in. As I entered the water I still felt compelled to move further, so I did. Eventually I came to an open area, free of rocks or coral. There in the emptiness, was a jellyfish. In a mysterious and magical way we began to communicate, and from then on we got to know each other. Funny, I thought jellyfish couldn't think or feel. Days and months passed in that dream and the jellyfish and I fell in love. On a moon-soaked night I walked back to that beach, back to that spot to find them waiting there for me. I walked towards them and opened my arms. Shockingly they opened their tentacles in return, and I slowly walked into them. They stung and burnt, the salt of the sea also aching at my arms, however, I felt at peace. Falling in love with a jellyfish was the greatest thing in my life, accepting the pain meant nothing, it was the only option after all. Slowly their tentacles completely surrounded me, I could not see, I could not feel, my lover enclosed around me, and I was at peace.
I woke up with tears in my eyes, in shock.
