A dream that started in the Australian outback

I woke up exceptionally early and realized that I must still be on Cleveland time. I went back to bed and had a very odd dream. It started as a documentary investigation into a genetically modified mosquitto that had been released into the wild of the Australian outback. The mutant mosquitto was, as the unidentifiable narrator explained, modified so that it could not ‘dive bomb’ human targets and penetrate their skin. I am not sure what exactly this meant, but we will continue on anyways.

The story then cut to an aerial shot of a large number of RV’s driving into the Australian outback near a lagoon with many mosquittos. Some of the RV’s were attached such that they were perpendicular to the car. This confused me, but not as much as the next scene where outdoorsy campers were taking pleasure using their bows to fire arrows into a lagoon. At this point, I became a person in the dream and began walking into the water while carying some cardboard box the size of a wine bottle. I realized that if I kept walking in farther, my box would get wet, which greatly concerned me. I started to head back to the shore but found this task difficult.

At this point, one of the men firing arrows into the water called out, “Shark!”. He strugged with the beast for sometime and emerged after a long underwater struggle with a small gash behind his ear. He began heading for the shoreline as well. I finally made it to the shore, but the man behind me did not. The black gentleman cried out and the man who had last struggled with the shark yelled, “Give it the life blow!” The black gentleman reached for his gun as the shark finally emerged from the water exposing its great white fangs, as if laughing. The man pulled the trigger repetitively, making a dull clicking sound each time. The shark dragged the man under water and….I woke up.
