Floating free After the elephant Dissolves

"I was sitting on top of an elephant, and I had no idea how I got there. I wasn't sure what was around us. I wasn't scared, but I felt hesitant to touch its skin, to hold on to it or hug it, even though I knew it would make me feel more secure. Slowly, I placed my hands on its skin. It was soft and wrinkled, almost delicate. The elephant began to walk forward, right into the water. The water was clear, with a little sandy cloudiness here and there, and it was warm and comforting. It felt wonderful. The elephant walked deeper and deeper, until I could no longer feel it beneath me. It was gone, as if it had dissolved into the water. I stayed afloat, drifting with the current, and I wasn't afraid. Only I remained, held by the warm water. When I woke up, I felt calm and light, as if I were still floating. A quiet, soothing feeling stayed with me, and I lay still for a while, wanting to keep it."
