I am aboard a submarine
Beneath the ocean
I do not know how I came to be there
Yet I am there
Looking out port holes
Wondering how long this journey will be
Suddenly the under-water vessel
Is flung by an unseen power
Upon the edge of a cliff
Overlooking the sea
I look out the peepholes
Amazed at how suddenly
I have arrived on dry land
Feeling the nature of the precarious position
Upon which this vessel sits
I ponder thoughts of my safety
Awakening to find
It all a dream

or was it?

Songbird:  I think you might have been protecting yourself from strong emotions you've been feeling because of a certain situation in your life.  You knew you'd find your way out, but you didn't know how, and you didn't know how long it might take.  A force within you (maybe your own) lifted you up and helped you out.  Your new-found personal growth and strength felt precarious because it was new, but somehow you knew you were ok.
