Last night I had the strangest dream.

I was in a giant theme park which was cold and white and strange and full of water. Visitors to the theme park were mostly Japanese people and my sense was that I was the stranger - that the theme park was in Japan. Everybody, including me, wore matching swimming costumes and special waterproof slippers. We were playing in artificially created surf. I looked up to see a dam wall stretching high into the sky and as I was watching it burst over the edge and came pouring down, drowning a very beautiful boy. I tried to save him but he sank before I could reach him. I tried to tell other people about the drowning boy but they all thought I was crazy.
