Catching a Pinstriped Seal Dream

Morning Meds; 1 20 23 Entering a pool of clear water in a small flat boat past a large outcrop of stone that split the stream. The scenery was similar to the streams in south Missouri and the Smoky Mountains in the eastern U.S. To the south, stood a tall cliff with a ledge of stone shoreline at its base and large metal dock that could rotate towards the north to block the river feeding the pool. The fan blade shaped dock was running the length of the shoreline in an open position resting against the stone ledge. Maneuvering the small flat pontoon like boat past the stone in the stream and over to the northern edge of the pool, I told someone that I wanted to show them something. I tied a lightweight fishing line loaded with bait to the edge of the boat and readied myself to lower it into the water. The deep, clear deep pool was filled with fish as far as could see, many of them looking straight up towards the surface. Seeing a very large one I lowered the bait straight into its mouth. It didn’t fight or struggle, but just sucked it in and instead of fighting it swam up to the edge of the boat and jumped onto the deck. To my surprise it changed into a large pinstriped leopard seal.  Thin yellow stripes ran the length of its body and by its size I thought it was a Leopard Seal, but the markings were wrong. It hung there on the side of the boat half out of the water with its top half on the deck and its tail flippers still in the water. It smiled at me and with a slight jerk of its head it snapped the line. I felt bad that I had caught him with a hook. End of dream. Looking up seals they are considered in most cases to be a lucky creative sign. Yellow being the only thing in color, speaks of emotions.
