Michelle Croft presents I am Salt Water posted at Ancient Energy, saying, "In this waking dream, I found myself floating alone in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. I should note here that for many years I suffered from severe hydrophobia, so normally a “dream” like this would have been classified as a nightmare for me. Yet, in this state, I was not afraid. In fact, I felt very peaceful. I found the warmth of the water and the rocking motion of the waves very soothing. I lay there enjoying the sensations for a while and then it occurred to me that this would be a good time to ask for guidance, as I had recently reached a turning point in my life and had been searching for my true direction. So in my dream I said, “I need guidance. Show me the way.” and I heard, or rather felt, the response, “Relax. Allow the current to carry you to where you need to go.”"
