To the Far North

In this dream, I took my younger sister Colleen to the far north on a visit to some friends who live in a shack on a cliff over an icy span of water. Once we arrive, my friends declare that we are all going on a trip to a far-off, mysterious place. First, though, we have to go into town for supplies, and that involves crossing the icy water. We don't bother with a boat; we simply spread ourselves on the icy wind and fly over. As we swoop low over the water, I look down and see a pod of whales. "Hey look, whales!" I yell to the others, and they go "Right on!"

At the store, my friend starts to tell me about all the hardships we are going to face on our journey, walking for days over the snow and suchlike. My sister starts to freak out and ask me why I brought her along, but my friend gets impatient with her and keeps belabouring the point of how difficult and dangerous it's going to be. Finally I roll my eyes and say, "Can we just leave?" and so we start out. Step one of our adventure is to turn ourselves into a lynx, a wolf, a caribou and a bird, and we set off across the countryside.
