Dream
I'm on a metal ladder, climbing up the steps. There's a not so subtle sway back and forth, like I'm on a ship. I reach the top and step into a bridge/control room of sorts. I'm told we are transporting a whale, but that the innovative design of the hull is such that the "tank" that holds it is below the ship, in the open ocean, to better prepare it for release, I suppose. I want to go see this whale.
I step out of a doorway and into a massive hold. It's like I'm on a Super-Carrier and it's just one massive open space inside. Hundreds of feet high, thousands of feet long. The floor is steel, but I see creases where there are bay doors that open up. Huh, I had assumed there would be an observation window or pane of glass to lay eyes on the beast. But there isn't. Just the errie groaning and creaking of the metal ship as it sways back and forth and the frightening knowledge I was standing on top a massive whale and nothing but miles and miles of deep ocean, straight down below. Suddenly the floor slowly begins to move/give way and I realize the hatch is opening. I scurry back towards the wall/hallway scared half to death of falling in with a whale of that size. The two crew members I had seen before are laughing hysterically, slapping their knees at my reaction to their little practical joke. I walk out having never actually seen the whale, but after that I no longer cared to.
