Instead of nightmares, I had an awesome dream last night, for a change..

I dreamed that I traveled through time in a room, and I used it to communicate with animals. The room was sealed on all sides except for one, and on that side was a clear wall, almost like a membrane, through which I could interact with the animals. The coolest part of the dream was traveling to the deep ocean and talking to the whales, who would push through the wall membrane until their heads were inside the room, and they could remain half suspended in air and water on the other side, and carry on conversations with me. At one point I accidentally traveled to the future, and I found future versions of myself and my companions, still in the room carrying out our task.
What we had to gain by traveling through time in our oversized diorama and communicating with animals is beyond me. If only I could remember what the whales said..
