The Sane Asylum

I was awoken by my friend needing a ride to work, so I didn't get to remember and record this dream properly, but as I thought over it, I could actually remember quite a bit fairly clearly. That has since faded, so I'll do my best.

I was at a beach in Croatia with my family. The beach itself wasn't actually very Croatian from my experience - it was sandy and the water was only a little cold, instead of rocky and very cold. Otherwise, the environment was nearly a perfect replica of what I can remember from being there. There was a very wooded island that rose high out of the water, so I decided to swim out to it. I worked my way out there, and began swimming around the island itself, just admiring the scenery. I passed into the island's shadow, and when I came around the other side, it was sunset already, and there was a beach immediately on the other side, actually joined to the island. It led onto the mainland, where my family was already getting out of the water. By the time I got to them, our tour guide (whom I was unaware we had) was there, in a topless bathing suit. There was a restaurant right there on the beach (which was still sandy), and we went inside and I woke up.

I had the fragments of another dream before this when I woke up, but my friend needed this ride urgently, and I didn't have time to write it down. I also remembered more from the beginning of this dream. I do remember that the scenery was incredibly beautiful, which is what I remember of my actual visit to Croatia.
