Oberlin College
I was in a land made entirely of ice and water under moonlight. There were mountains of ice, and near the water were icebergs.
Rebecca and I were staying in a tent together. We were part of a group researching all these different ocean creatures. One was this creature that stuck to you. There was a whole field of them in the water. We went out exploring and I ended up falling into the water. The others came to my rescue and dried me out. I didn’t feel cold. We saw different kinds of fish.
In the end, the land of ice turned into Oberlin. Oberlin seemed to be around the corner in a non-icy spot, and then I gradually forgot about the ice and didn’t see it again.
[This continues into a long dream of being in Oberlin]
Ice and Water: We’re likely in an astral space without much form, which I interpreted as a landscape of ice and water. In that case, we’re seeing the more basic astral structures. Or perhaps there is a scene here, but we’re not properly tuned into it.
Oberlin being “around the corner” could have been a rationalization of me focusing into the scene more, and/or projecting my familiar college imagery onto it.
