My dreams are getting crazier every day.Two days ago I dreamed I was flying with doves.I forget the details.But yesterday I dozed off and dreamed I was swimming with dolphins.In this dream I was underwater in the domain of the dolphin when a feeling of dread came over me.I dived deeper and headed towards a drainage pipe that was releasing dreadful contents into the water.The dolphins swam with me as we dodged rocks that started falling in all around us.But swimming this way was our downfall and I knew that the dolphins were under the dominion of others who were trying to capture us.That was when I saw the dome and swam towards it.

I woke up from this drastic dream in a sweat.Back in my dreary surroundings I still couldn't shake the feeling of doom in the dream.I stood up and went to the kitchen where my wife was using dough to make bread of doubtless quality.It had been that way since I had stopped doling out money to her for food.I had been downgraded recently at my job.That was one of the drawbacks of not having donated enough overtime to stay competitive with my peers.And all the work had always been too much for me;I could never stay at work longer than I had to.

I just wanted to get back to my dream.It was better than my life.I lay down to take another doze but nothing worked.I even tried the same position I had been sleeping in.I guess I would have to wait for nighttime to swim with the dolphins again.

我做的梦比古怪。两天前我梦见和鸽子一起飞翔。细节我记不清了。不过昨天我打了个盹儿，梦见自己和海豚一起游泳。在这次梦中，我是在水下海豚的活动范围，我突然感到一阵恐惧。我潜到更深的地方，朝一个排水管游去，排水管正向水中排放一些可怕的东西。海豚和我一起游，我们边游边躲避周围下落的一块块岩石。但是这种游法把我们累垮了，我知道海豚进入了别人的统治区，他们正想办法抓我们。就在这时我看见了那个圆屋顶并向它游去。我从这场激烈的梦中醒来，身上出了一身汗。回到枯燥无味的环境之后我仍然无法摆脱梦中在劫难逃的感觉。我起身去厨房，妻子正在那里用生面团做肯定好吃的面包。自从我不给她钱买食品以来，她就一直在做可口的面包。我最近在工作中成绩有些下降。这是我的一个缺点，我没有献出足够的加班时间以保持我在同事们中的竞争力。我做的工作对我来说总是太多，我实在不能下了班还接着做。我只想回到梦中，梦中的生活比我的现实生活更加美好。我躺下来想再睡一会儿，可是怎么也睡不着。我甚至试着重复我原来的睡姿，也没有用。我想我只好等到夜间才能再次和海豚一起游泳了。
