Two or three years ago, I had dreams of a big wave. For a long time, I worked on the 45th floor of a high-rise building, and in my dream, the wave was coming over the top of that high-rise. All I could do was hold my breath and wait for the impact. It was over with in a moment.

In fact, I had two weeks of "water" dreams. There seemed to be a week of dreaming that led up to that final big wave, then a following week of standing next to clear, bright streams of flowing water.
