Yet another strange dream

[fbhjr]

I dreamed that a bunch of us had taken a boat out to an iceberg and were having a picnic on it.
The boat was moored over on one side of it at the water line and we had set up on the other side where it was up much higher.
As we started the picnic, we discovered that we had forgotten the table cloth back at the boat. I took an ice climbing pick and agreed to go back for it.
I climbed back down towards the boat. As I got closer the sky went from a nice blue to a dark, stormy, grey.
We had pulled the boat well up onto the iceberg to keep it from floating off. But, as I came to it, I saw that the water was up to the boat and about to float it away.
“Oh no,” I said to myself. “The tide is coming in. I’ve got to warn the others.”
I turned and saw the ridge of ice I had just walked down was now covered in water. Waves were washing over it. It was still shallow, so I decided to try and get to the vertical cliff part. If I could climb up that, I’d be OK.
As I waded across the flooded section, and big wave came and pushed me to the side. I used the ice pick and dug into the ice below me. The first wave was small enough that this worked. But, the next one lifted me up too high to reach the ice below my feet with the pick.
It washed me off of the iceberg to my right.
As I floated off the side of the iceberg in dark grey water, I saw an even bigger wave coming the other way. I swam to it and road it towards the iceberg. It was tall enough to go over the top peak of the iceberg.
As it washed me over the top, I saw the red and white checkered tablecloth frozen into the deep blue ice of the iceberg.
I used the ice pick and dug into the top of the berg as I was washed over. Once out of the wave, I used the pick like and axe to chop out the table cloth.
I was happy I had found what I went back for.
Dream Ends

When awake, I know that icebergs float on the water and would rise with the tide and waves. But, I guess I don’t remember that when asleep.
I would also think that if I had been swept over the top of the iceberg on a wave, it would mean bad things for my picnicking friends. But, that didn’t come up in the dream.

Hmmm.

I was going to tell you about a weird dream I had last week - for some reason I went on a business trip to St Louis, Missouri. After arriving there, I found you and the whole Phoenix sword troupe there to perform for some private party for a big-wig politician. For some mysterious reason, all the building architectures in the city appeared to be from turkey or Greece - Byzantine with the "onion domes", etc. It didn't make any sense, but it was entertaining, and your performance was very good !

The ice pick might work on that...
