The Mermaid Dream

C'mon, we'v all had it--that dream where you're a mermaid... or some type of sea creature...?

Well, my cousin, Justin, bought a $1,400 aquarium (this is the dream I had), and he decided he didn't want it anymore, so we were taking it to some water park-type place to get rid of it in an eco-friendly way. It was a water park, so naturally, I was hanging out in the water and then I made a wish to be a mermaid, jokingly, of course.
As I'm just swimming, swimming, playing in the water, I dive down to the bottom and stay there somehow... and then I take in a breath.  It was weird, I didn't understand how it happened, and it probably wouldn't happen again.  But then I was taking short, shallow breaths, under the water, and I could breathe.
I was sure it wouldn't last long (because it wasn't even supposed to be happening in the first place) and that I had better get back up to the surface where there is real air so I don't die.
But when I got up there, and tried to breathe the real air, I suddenly found that I couldn't breathe.  I didn't believe it, I was suffocating, no air coming in, and it was an awful, yucky feeling.  So, I went back under the water... where I could breathe... that was when I realized: I'm a mermaid.
Well, the next obvious step was that I, two of my cousins, Kaylynn and Jenica, as well as a sister, Jeri, were undercover as mermaids to spy on the mer-people and see what they were up to.  And just as I expected, they were having secret meetings.  In the chapel of the church in Kamiah (under water).  Unfortunately I never found out what the secret meetings were about because then it was 5:00 A.M and Anton came home from work.
Just had to share that.  Even though, we all have dreams and no one really cares what you dream about, Erica...  just thought if I write it down I could stop thinking about it (and wondering what those sneaky merpeople were planning).
