#shark creature

(creature below ↓)

Something completely new happened last night. I'm writing it down now as I'm just awake so I don't forget.

Dream started off relatively "normal" for my type of dreams. I could fly, but this time I felt a lot more animalistic than usual. That wasn't the new thing though.

It was dark out and possibly the 4th of July. People were setting off fireworks and I could hear them having a good time. I don't know where I was, but it was wilderness and it was just the house I was at and a neighbor right next door, who were the ones setting off the fireworks.

Tbh I could barely see (which weirdly happens a lot sometimes) because it was very dark, but I was watching the fireworks go off from afar until someone told me I needed to make sure the neighbors didn't set the forest on fire. So I flew over and landed in a tree and called out to them to be careful where they're setting stuff off. Though I was acknowledged, not 2 seconds later someone set off a firework fountain right under a dead bush and of course it immediately went up, but I got caught in a fence when I tried to go put it out while one of the neighbors took care of it.

Since I didn't seem like I was gonna be needed, I flew back up into the trees and hung around for a few more minutes to see if they'd set off more fireworks.

I got bored and decided to fly around and see if anyone else was doing anything cool. I thought about pulling my phone out but something told me that never works in dreams, which, well, it doesn't. So I just, flew off, thinking I'd just follow the sounds of fireworks or something.

It was complete darkness now and I'm thinking to myself that I'm gonna end up crashing into something at this rate. So I manifested myself somewhere else. No idea where I went but it was daylight on the coast, and there was a restaurant on a dock. I went inside and they welcomed me like they recognized me and asked me what I needed. I said I didn't know exactly where I was. The manager type guy graciously asked me to head to the back and they'd send someone to help me.

I ended up walking through a typical tourist-type shop and waited, before a man came up to greet me. He was slightly taller, short buzz cut of hair, though you could still tell it was red, if his face scruff had anything to do with that. He had a strong Scottish accent and proceeded to lead me out back while talking to me about various things. (it was typical dream gibberish (dreamish) I'm afraid, though I'm amused he still had an accent with it)

Though I was talking back to him in dreamish, at one point the words became English as I apologized in advanced that I might pick up his accent without meaning to and I promise I'm not doing it to be rude. He laughed and told me it was fine, it wouldn't be the first time etc etc. Then he looked out behind me and got excited.

We had been sitting right by the water at this point and he pointed out an enormous Sun Fish that was swimming by and how he'd always wanted to see one up close. Well, me being the magical dream anomaly that I was, I looked at him squarely and said, do you Really want to? To which he nodded.

"Alright then, please don't take this the wrong way" I said, as I got up on my knees and took his face in hand, kissing him deeply. He was definitely shocked for half a second before the magic took place, giving him (and I) the ability to breath under water. I broke the kiss, but before giving him a chance to say anything, I pulled us both into the water.

I gave him a smile as he just kind of stared at me in wonder for a moment. I pointed to my neck while motioning the same at him. I'd given us gills! I motioned to the sun fish, "you wanna go check it out then?" and he nodded vigorously. I took his hand and started swimming towards the fish, which was indeed huge. Unfortunately we never got close.

Scottish friend (i never got his name) yelled for me to watch out, as a a seriously GIANT AS FUCK shark thing came barreling at me with inhuman speed, slamming into me and dragging me FAR under the water. Darkness covered everything almost instantly and this "sound" got louder and louder in my head.

Now, i have to preface what happened next with yet ANOTHER uhh...I guess ability? I've learned in dreaming. When something that was nice/is nice suddenly becomes nightmare adjacent I can literally force myself awake. I don't know when I learned this, but I've done it SEVERAL times. I just, Force my eyes open. I wouldn't technically call it "awake"? I guess? But it forces me out of the dream basically. This time was different though. I forced myself out of the dream but I got worried about my Scottish friend. I had to save him, I couldn't leave him with whatever that thing was that attacked me.

I don't know to properly explain it, but I just went back to "sleep". The loud sound was immediately back in my head but I ignored it, gritted my teeth and flung myself out of the dark depths with a roar. I exploded out of the water and back into the daylight. I looked down, teeth bared and eyes wide as I saw the shark thing swimming back up. I shot back into the water, slamming my weight into the creature, grabbing him hard and throwing him out of the water. I noticed at this point he was incredibly misshapen, similar to those old Street Shark toys from back in the day, though with bulging eyes.

I landed on top of him and snarled, demanding to know why he attacked me. He croaked something about being told to by some Scientist who'd made him. Scottish friend had gotten out of the water at this point, running over to check on me. I told him to keep back, cuz I didn't know what the shark creature could do.
