Miami porpoise?

I only remember one part of this dream:

I was standing along what appeared to be a series of oddly shaped pools of water. There was not a lot of light. It might have been at an aquarium, as I don't think anything felt natural. There was a shape moving in the water, and at first I thought it was a dolphin. I walked over to take a look at it, as it followed me around.

"Oh, it's a porpoise!" I said to no one as the dolphin/porpoise rose out the water and started squeaking at me. It looked like a Pacific dolphin, except it had a rich orange stripe on both sides where it should have been dark grey. I knew that it was trying to tell me something, so I crouched down in the water next to it, and as it came out of the water I gave it a hug. It kept talking to me, but I couldn't figure out what it was trying to say, so I pulled it a little ways out of the water and asked it. It slipped back in.

Then it jumped out of the water, and it wasn't completely a dolphin or a porpoise. It had the body of a porpoise, except bigger, and large humpback whale flippers. When it landed, it kept the flippers down and out so that it made a big splash. There was a crowd in the stands (?) and they cheered and clapped. The dolphin/porpoise/whale was still trying to get me to understand something, but I couldn't figure out what. The jumping was another way of communication.

All those bits and pieces

An update is in order:

Yes, I have been dreaming. But I only remember snippets, or small sequences. It's hard for me to write down when I remember only a scene, or an image.

Here is a smattering of what I've been dreaming about:

****


A "Sanctuary" style dream, featuring Henry - in order to capture Henry's emotionally dangerous girlfriend, he and I had to make out. So we did. It was really intense, but his girlfriend came back in a real snit, and we were able to tranquilize her. At some point, Henry started changing into a werewolf.
(My subconscious apparently won't sacrifice dream plot points for personal gratification)


*****

Cuddling with actors - that was the entirety of the dream. I was being held by this guy, and I think we were talking, except it didn't feel important. (Note: I linked to the shirtless picture because he was shirtless in the dream)


*****

Running into people with my car - specifically, a mother and daughter. I tried to break, swerve, but I kept rolling towards them. I wasn't even going fast, but they wouldn't move. When I hit them, I woke up in a panic.


*****

There was a demon sitting next to my bed. His eyes were glowing red orbs, and he had hundreds of tiny pointed teeth. He was smiling at me. I kept turning away, hoping he would leave me alone, but every time I turned to look he was there, smiling at me.

(I woke up in a hotel room, and noted that my alarm clock was illuminating the wall with a red glow. Shame on you, hotel!)

So, it seems that my dreams of late have been a little more physical in nature. I feel as though I'm forgetting something - maybe I had a dream about falling, or flying, or one of the much more traditional themed dreams. I have never had a dream where I'm falling to the best of my recollection. I have had dreams about flying.

I will endeavor to keep better track of my dreams as I have them. It's been a very busy month from October till now, and the entirety of December is occupied with trips and movement.
