Elf Lady says "No Swimming."

       I dreamed I was on the shore of a large lake. I made my way down to the end of a dock and there was a tall golden-haired woman with pointy ears and wide narrow eyes, the very essense of elf-hood. I smiled and waved at her.
       "There's no swimming in the sacred lake," she said.
       "Thanks," was all I could say. I hadn't actually been planning on swimming, only sitting on the dock looking over the water at the forest on the other side. Nothing in the dream would give any indication that I'd had any intention of swimming.
