mermaid dream

last night/this morning i dreamed about pregnant mermaids. there was a race of mermaids/mermen living in our oceans. my dream took place in the Atlantic. there also were river and pond mermaids, kind of like ocean and river dolphins. mermaids would come to live among humans for the sole purpose of getting pregnant by human men. apparently, mermen are sterile and are all tail, no dick. so, to keep the race going, mermaids come to live among us, searching for sperm donors. they don't just 'get laid', but form relationships with men and even marry them. then, when the maids get pregnant and are close to delivery, they leave the humans flat and return to the water. these pregnant mermaids must then present themselves to the merking, who then decides if the merbaby is worth keeping. merbabies worth keeping must have the mergene that allows them to live underwater (as well as on land) and grow a tail. if the merembryo is more human then merman, the kid is aborted or murdered upon delivery.

the merking was a real bastard. he was cruel and saw mermaids only as babymaking machines. he had no problem killing babies or mothers. sometimes, a mermom would fall in love with the human and decide to stay on land. they would be summoned to the king under pretense of well-wishes and then be tortured and killed for falling in love with a human. sometimes mermoms would want to keep their human babies. they would also be hunted down and slaughtered. the merking was a ruthless son of a bitch. i hated him in my dream and i hate him even now.

if the merembryo was 'worth' keeping, the merking would blow his spirit into the womb of the mermother. this would 'make' him the 'father' of the merbaby and ALL the merbabies that have been born since he became king.

yes, a truly fucked up dream. i have no idea why i thought of mermaids. it may have something to do with The Goblet of Fire, which i plan on seeing tonight with Hinoserm. mermaids played a role in that book.
