Dream About Swimming Away From Sinking Ship Dolphin Rescue

This dream was about

We (me and my brother) were on a small ship in the middle of an ocean. The ship was an odd shape; like a pufferfish and it was two toned; beige on the top half and blue on the bottom half. There was a family sitting in the back of the ship. A mother, her son and her husband. The woman's young son was talking, saying things that upset the captain. The woman and the captain exchanged words. She was pleading with the captain to understand her situation. She didn't want her family to be kicked off the ship. They weren't kicked off the ship, but the captain did turn the ship on its rear to the point where it began to quickly fill with water. At some point, my brother and I were able to escape the sinking ship. We didn't have a raft or life vests; we would have to swim. Since I was the stronger swimmer, he would get on my back or hang onto me when got tired. While navigating the dark ocean, I noticed a point or tip of something standing out of the water in the distance. "I think it's a shark", I said. My brother was afraid, and understandably so. I was also quite afraid; the situation made me very anxious. As the shark approaches, I can almost feel the fear coming from my brother. He was trembling badly. I reassured us both that there was nothing to fear and it won't attack us if we don't bother it. "They're like ocean's puppies". I knew that they responded to movement so we stopped swimming and remained perfectly still until it passed us. Relieved, we continued swimming again. We swam for a while until we encountered more aquatic creatures. This time, they were playful dolphins. They were beautiful to watch. There was something so magical about the way the moonlight lit the ocean and the reflection of that light coming off the skin of the dolphins. They followed and circled us for a while, almost as if they were making sure we made it safely to our destination. Just a short distance away, I could see the shoreline and some tall buildings and city lights. The sky was deep dark blue, yet the contrast of the lights from the city against the night sky, made the scene appesr like what I would expect heaven to look like in dark mode; ethereal. You can clearly see the varying shades of blue light emanating from the city. Getting closer, the lights from the city made the atmosphere appear icy blue. It doesn't feel as though we had been swimming for long before we touch the shore. There were still a few dolphins nearby when I turned around to get one good look into the distance where we swam from. I was grateful to be alive and back on land in one piece. There was a part of me that was saddened at what mankind does to the seas and ocean's and how we make it harder for aquatic beings to live. I can't explain it, but somehow noticing where the shore begins and ends, reminded me of the harm we cause them. "That's really messed up", I say to myself. Although we're here on shore, we have yet another journey. We still have to make it up, what looks like a large, sandy mound to be on the road to going home
