A dream

I was on a beach, as a grown man, and a small boy. The day was sunny and clear, the water; turquoise and clear. The man and boy were talking about what they were doing on the beach, which looked like playing, but the mood was more serious. A bluish/blackish snake swam ashore from the sea. The man picked up the snake, called it a corn snake, and noticed how ragged it looked. The snake immediately buried itself into the sand and hid, while the man's attention was again focused on the boy, while the boy's focus was the snake. The boy seemed concerned about how tired and worn out the snake was, but the man reassured him it would be ok. The dream then turned to a cruise ship with celebrities aboard, being interviewed, then back to the beach. I was another child on the beach; this time a little girl. The man and boy were there also, and the girl had a contentment about her that the boy did not understand. The snake emerged from the sand, recooperated and recovered, ready and determined to go back into the sea to finish her destination. The boy child called to the girl child to come and see the snake, but the girl just sat in the sand and watched from a distance, while the man and boy both went to see the snake off.
