When I got to her house, she quickly wore her slippers, held my hand and said we should go to the beach. I looked at the time, it was 11:53 pm. “What are we going to do at the beach at this time? Have you seen the time?”

She kept pulling me and I kept following her until we got to the beach. It was quiet and serene except for the sound of the waves piercing through the night’s silence. There were footprints in the sand. She stooped and looked at them. She said, “I’m late. They are all in.”

“What do you mean?” I asked

She put her finger on my lips and shushed me; “Shhhh, don’t say anything.”

She took off her clothes and helped me take off mine. She ran towards the sea while I stood and watched. She beckoned, “What are you standing there for? Run?”

We entered the sea and by the time I realized, we were surrounded by hundreds of people under the sea. Humans with heads of fish. Humans with tails of fish and humans who talked with fish voices. She held my hand as we walked through the multitude of faces. They were all looking at us. When we got to the front of a huge gate she asked me, “Are you ready to meet her?”

My eyes opened and realized the whole thing was a dream. My girlfriend whom I’d been under the sea with in the dream was lying next to me, naked and breathing feebly. I went back to sleep. That was the first time I saw that dream.

We’ve been dating for two months. Each time she comes to sleep at my place, I see different versions of this dream. Each time we get to the big gate and she asks if I’m ready to meet ‘her’ I wake up from my dreams.

One day I told her about the dream and she smiled; “It’s just a dream. Maybe one day you should enter so we see what’s in there,” she told me

If you dream about something once, it’s just a dream but when it keeps coming the way I keep seeing this dream then there’s something to worry about.

I wish I could walk out of this relationship but if she’s a sea creature like I’m suspecting, don’t you think she would hurt me?

I’m currently under the feet of a pastor who they see sees things. I haven’t told him anything. I’m hoping he sees my problem and interprets it for me.

I haven’t allowed her to come to my end for some days and all those days, I didn’t have the dream. I shiver when I think of it. How do I leave a woman like this?
