all was golden when the day met the night

I had a dream this summer on the boat.
In reality. we were going from somewhere to somewhere, point A to point B...I think somewhere in Holland to somewhere in the southeastern-coast area of England. We switched watches every two hours on long passages like this, so our eyes wouldn't be fried out of our skulls from looking for nonexistent tankers or the occasional cluster of kelp. Kelp is bad. It can get stuck in a boat's propeller, and in the middle of the English channel with a sketchy radio, that would be extraordinarily bad. My father and Kay were on watch while I pretended to sleep; I was really just singing along to myself, singing to Panic at the Disco's newest album, Pretty. Odd. It was oddly soothing, with the boat only sort of rocking and my father dancing his little jig to music he obviously was trying very hard to like. The song "She Had The World" came on. My favorite stanza in the entire song is this:
I don’t love you I'm just passing the time
You could love me if I knew how to lie
But who could love me?
I am out of my mind
Throwing a line out to sea
To see if I can catch a dream
I fell asleep singing that.
I had a dream that seemed very real, except that it wasn't just my father and Kay and I on the boat now. There was Ryan Ross, the guitarist for Panic, flitting around in a Madi Peters-esque fashion (meant endearingly - of course I didn't know Madi Peters then but now it is only suitable) up on the bow. (We keep all of our spare lines and ropes on these metal horse-like things to the port and starboard sides of the mast whose names escape me at the moment. They had pegs and I'd always sit on top of them as a homeschooled 4th grader, thinking I was a cowboy. I was the shit.) Ryan Ross appeared to be grabbing all of our spare lines and flinging them off the side of the boat.
My dad freaked out, to put it simply. He was all, "What the hell are you doing?!
Ryan went, all frantically, "I'm throwing a line out to sea! I NEED TO CATCH A DREAM. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO ME."
And then he jumped overboard and rode a dolphin into the sunset.

I've been thinking a lot about that dream.
I wonder if it means something.


Love.
