I was half-observing, half-participating.
A girl was jogging along a secluded beach when she discovered a mysterious man washed up on the shore.
He wasn't physically hurt, but seemed confused and excitable. He wasn't a local but was unable to tell the girl where he came from.
They ended up walking along the beach and then the town together, just talking and having fun, until they had spent the best part of the day with each other. It seemed as though he was seeing and experiencing some of the things they were doing for the very first time and the girl was enjoying showing them to him.
It was becoming very clear that she was falling very much in love with him.
At first she assumed that he was an angel that had fallen to earth because of his mysterious origins and innocent personality.
It turned out she was very close, as he was actually a mer-man from the ocean!
After spending the day together on land, he took her on a tour of his world under the sea. They interacted with the other marine creatures that they met along the way, and he took great delight in showing off his prowess by demonstrating how high he could breach the surface of the water, like a killer whale.
This is where I stopped observing and became a participant in the dream because he then grabbed my hand and took me up with him. The entire experience was breathtaking and otherworldly.
The girl reluctantly returned to her life on land, with only a vague promise that they would meet again, but it quickly became apparent her encounter with him had changed her life forever. She no longer fit in with her family or peers and life now just seemed all the more mundane and dull in comparison.
