A little bit of restlessness

I have been dreaming, but I haven't had a dream particularly worth recording until last night.

It was a long dream, of which I'll only record a part.  In this part of the dream, I was at a kelong.  For some reason, this particular kelong was keeping dolphins not only in the kelong nets, but also in additional nets that were bound tightly to the kelong.  Even though the dolphins could come up for air and stay alive, they couldn't go anywhere.

I didn't think much of it until I woke up and realised how tragic that was.  A quick google suggested that "dolphins represent your willingness and ability to explore and navigate through your emotions".

I guess it's true that I haven't been willing to navigate through my emotions for a very long time.  But why would I want to when I know that I'm not terribly happy?
