Oiled Word Dream

Last night I dreamed I was lying on a beach dictating words into a tape recorder. Instead of going into the microphone and being recorded, the words kept slipping into the water and washing back up a little while later, covered in oil, ruined and unrecognizable.

For the record, I've never written anything via dictation, though I have watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas way too many times in the past week or so.
