Dream Journal Entry – July 1st, 2024

I stood in ankle deep water that stretched out as far as the eye could see. There was absolutely nothing around other than the water, the blue sky beyond the horizon, and a large cliff nearby. The water I stood in flowed in the direction of the cliff, creating what I’m going to call the Grand Waterfall. The waterfall poured into a misty void that I was unable to see the bottom of, but it wasn’t an abyss. The fog below was a white/gray color, not black.

At some point I had either fallen or jumped and fell down to the base of the Grand Waterfall. I stood on another flat plane of ankle deep water, but now I could see the base of the waterfall. The water poured into the darkness of a large pit, then somehow defied gravity and poured back up along the edges of that hole. It then dispersed into all directions, making up the flat plane of water I found myself on. Once again, there was nothing else around with the exception of the Grand Waterfall, which itself seemed like it descended from nowhere in the sky. The entire scene was serene, and I was happy to be there.

Eventually, a being or entity of some kind emerged from behind or within the waterfall. I can only describe it that way because I’m unsure if it even had a form to begin with, but there was absolutely a presence within the waterfall. It welcomed me, and told me I could stay for as long as I pleased before giving me directions to a nearby town that had suddenly appeared. This town had strange architecture and seemed like it would be at home in an Escher painting.

When I arrived at the town, I was welcomed by a small community that had suddenly appeared alongside it. It was at this moment I noticed that these people lived along a shoreline that was clearly visible, despite the fact we were all still walking in ankle deep water. I conversed with the people there as if we had already been friends for a long time. I even saw my old dog there! She was still an old girl that mostly laid around, but it was good to see her again.

Memories become fragmented at this point. I spent time helping and conversing with the people who lived there, spent time with my dog, even welcomed a small group of people who had arrived after I had. Eventually, I made my way back to the entity within the waterfall and spoke with it for a while as well. I don’t remember what we spoke of, but I distinctly remember it telling me something important. It’s unfortunate that I do not remember what it said.
