life and death

I dreamt that I was on a ship to somewhere... The ship was where I worked. I didn't do ship related work, but it was where our offices were. The coworker of mine was KM, AL and would morph back and forth between being other people in my life. I wasn't sure what my work was, but I was so happy to be on a ship, mobile, moving around instead of in an office. It was great. My coworker and I were on the bow of the ship and had a huge window. It was large enough to go a bit below sea level. The ship started rocking and moving... and then swirling in a large circle that started moving faster and faster. I looked outside and saw a whale shark. I said maybe he is nudging us??  They said no, this is something else. The boat started tossing and turning, the bow going completely under water and rising back up. Part of me thought I should be scared, but I wasn't. It was so exciting and thrilling. A ships man came to see how we were and said we must seal our door  to not flood our cabin. It was already halfway under water. I knew we could easily die, but this way of living was living and the old was in the office felt more like death.
