I'm not sure how my dreamscape got here, but I dreamt that we were floating in the Arctic waters. Clara and I had to get from one flotation device onto another, using only a thing that sort of looked like an inflatable pool lounge. I'm not sure if others were there.

for some reason I wasn't even sure of in the dream, I jumped on the pool lounge in such a way that I was pretty immersed. as a result we all ended up in the water trying to hang on to it to stay upright and afloat. I was worried about the temp of the water.

perhaps I passed out. perhaps not. but a very brief time passed and I realized o shit I am still in the water! and, it feels warm. that was how I knew I was chilled through. I got to the other thing and somehow, through sheer force of will, dragged myself out. this was scary becuase now I was wet and cold as the water started to dry off. it took some doing to get Clara to agree.

we were out of the water, and I felt in danger, and suddenly in my parents' bedroom. not as it is now, but as it use to be with the giant bed, and the electric blankets on the bed. it took some convincing to get Clara to climb under the electric blanket, but it was the only hope I had of not dying from the hypothermia.
