Subconscious Theater Presents a Sea Monster Double Feature
Two dreams, with sea monsters.
I'm in a castle by the sea, sort of classic tumbledown place. Inside is retrofitted to a very David Lynch's Dune specification. I am in charge of hiring a receptionist and several security guards. We fear an attack by sea. The king has a glass coffin which he can go into and see things that no one else can see. The problem is that when he does this, he is dead. He locks into this coffin, and lenses cover his eyes and he dies, but while he is dead, he can see. He has been like this for a long time, looking for the attack from the sea. Eventually, some of the royal family plan to force him out of the coffin so he can be alive and join them at the dinner table. Just before they can do this, lightning flashes. In my goggles, I see what the king sees. I see a great bloated sea monster dragging itself up on the rocks at the breaker line. This is the attack. They pull the king from the coffin, and the vision ceases. I run into the room and beg them to put him back. Nobody listens.
I am with some sort of circus, but there has been a mutiny or schism or whatever it is that makes circuses break up. I am on the losing side. They throw me and my cohorts (not very many of us, probably three) into the sea. We swim frantically, until we reach a curved wall with a ledge, as if the entire sea were inside a tank. We crawl up onto the ledge. There is something in the water that isn't us, so we put our backs against the wall to get as far from the water as possible. It leaps out of the water like a dolphin. It looks like an alligator, if you put all of the mass of an alligator in the front half, and the tail atrophied. It was the overall shape of a tadpole, suggesting that it wasn't done becoming the awful thing it one day would be. Looking at it made us nauseous. It disappeared under the waves.

It seems you feel you have some knowledge and insight that is not being listened too and that you believe the failure of others to listen is placing them, and you, in jeopardy.

Somehow, I imagine that's true of most people most of the time.
You're right

Or if you do, bring a camera crew ... could make for something far better than Hollywood has been turning out!
