Hi! Help me interpret this dream?! :dreams:

Wednesday morning 9/24/08 7am

My boyfriend and I are in the water swimming, feeling very relaxed and happy when I look out into the ocean and realize it's evening and pitch dark. Suddenly, I see a single fin only about 3 feet away from me. I kick my legs to turn around and they touch a bunch of seaweed. I want to call for my boyfriend but do not want to attract attention and I think he sees it. We both swim toward shore, but it is a struggle. I envision a white light around myself for protection. (This is very vivid and I am concentrating.) We get to our home, right on the shore but the water and the animal come with us, right into the house. I get scared of the animal because at first it looks like a shark, which is what I knew it was when I saw the fin. Then I relax because it looks like a dolphin. Then I get confused because it seems to be morphing into a purple dotted sea creature. Then it turns into a man. He asks to use the bathroom and I ask him to use the one outside because he is all wet. He is not intending on listening to me and picks up four of my candles. He says something about someone else coming. ("Ethan" - the character from Lost, who absolutely gives me the creeps.) Just as Ethan arrives, I wake up.

What do you think?
