You hear a series of gurgling sounds ringing in your ears, you feel your body as light as a feather, you feel something holding you suspended in mid-air, you are not touching the ground, but not even the ceiling.
You open your eyes, hoping to change your dream and return to dreaming of something more "attractive". You realize that you are not in a dream. You are in the sea and you are floating.
