fish tails

I dreamt that I was in the ocean with two girlfriends. People I don't know in reality... We were swimming and I noticed one of them had a, well like a mermaid outfit from the hips down. It was on the level of buying a surfboard or flippers for your feet, some new trend. Hers was white with red stitching and zippers. The other one had a deep blue one with white stitching. I was watching them and they looked a bit awkward in the water. I was completely enjoying the ocean, the buoyancy, it felt amazing. I thought I would show them how to do it and I kind of wanted to try the new thing out too. I was showing them you had to use your whole body as if it was one limb. They couldn't see it or connect the idea and kept struggling with their old thoughts about how one swims. I let it go and got on land. Then I was walking along a river bank. I think  I was going to go fishing. I walked down a sidewalk that was between the stream and some houses. It felt sweet, quaint, pleasant... In getting there I had to walk one way for a while.. then turn 180 degrees at a v in the sidewalk to walk on the other side of the houses to get to my destination.  At one point there was a girl at a doorway. She had down syndrome and wanted to say hello. I came to her door and we chatted a bit. She was highly functional and sweet. I saw that I could go out her front door and be back on the beginning of the path. It would be a shortcut if I wanted to go back. I left the girl and kept walking. I saw then another path that let to the beginning of the path. I didn't have to go around all of the houses to the v... I could have been at the fishing spot a while ago.
