Haha.. so I had another interesting dream this morning. :) I was down at the Baltimore Aquarium with my mother. We had been to a bunch of places before arriving at the aquarium, but unfortunately I do not remember what.
As my mother and I walked into the aquarium building, you could see a large circular service desk. A young lady (blonde and in her late 20's) was behind the desk talking to a group of people. I listened in on her conversation as my mother and I passed by. She was giving the people an introduction about the tour, and the cost to go on the tour. I didn't want to pay money for a tour, so my mother and I moved on.
The circular desk was towards the front of the building. To the left of the desk were a bunch of shelves with items you could purchase (Basically like a convenient store). I don't remember seeing a ceiling, so it must have been really high. Besides the shelves and desk, it was a big empty room with a hallway towards the back. The hallway was literally about a football field distance away from the desk. The lighting made it feel like evening; after the sun had set. The room was lit with white fluorescent lights, but the carpeted floor, desk and colors in the room were that of a medium blue. For the most part, it felt like a slow business day in a large open place (Like waiting at a terminal in the Charles de Gaulle airport at 4am).
My mother trailed off towards the hallway, but I wanted to buy a journal and a pen. I knew if I did not write down the events that occurred before the aquarium, I would forget what we did. While I searched the shelves for notebooks and pens, I got a desire for some cough drops (I think my throat felt scratchy). So, I figured I'd buy a pack after I got a notebook and some pens.
A bit later, I found a medium size, black and white striped notebook. I couldn't find any pens. It occurred to me that I should probably buy pencils instead (In case I need to erase). I looked everywhere for pencils, found one pack, and their erasers sucked. Don't you hate it when the erasers are hard?! You instantly know they are just going to smear instead of erase. Total pet-peeve of mine..
Anywho, I gave up on the notebook thing and figured "Oh well" if I forget (I think that's about the time I realized I was dreaming. Only when I dream, do I want to write things down before I forget them). Since I wasn't buying a notebook, I didn't bother looking for the cough drops either. At this time, my mother had vanished. I figured she was already in the actual aquarium, so I made my way towards the back hallway. The hallway was dimly lit (Reminded me of a movie theatre hallway but a lot shorter).
As I opened the door to enter the actual aquarium, I immediately noticed the blonde tour guide talking to a group of people. I wanted to go past her and look for my mother, but what she was talking about caught my attention.
She said: "Here we have a pig whale. A rare, marvelous creature. We were able to save it from shear death. It's parents were killed by.. "
I don't remember what she said after that, but come on.. A PIG WHALE? Dream or no dream, I halted the search for my mother and walked over to the water tank the lady was standing beside. It was a rather large tank, like you'd see for sharks and such, but only the pig whale resided in it. I was standing at the top of the tank looking down to the lower depths. Besides the pig whale, there was only clear, dark blue water and a soft-gray dusty floor.
I looked at the pig whale, and its appearance fit its name perfectly. The back half was that of a whale, and the fish had the head of a pig. It's rather large mouth was opening up wide and closing in slow movements. Almost made me think that it was crying out for loved ones.. Strange.. but, after the pig whale opened its mouth up for the third time, I woke up.
Cheers and until the next dream..
