Laurence Loeb REM Dolphins team-leap, rescue drowning sailors, star in water shows, sleep while swimming. They twist, nuzzle, tooth-scratch, court. A few have wanted to mate with women swimmers. Do dolphins dream of them? They stayed in the sea, kept flippers. Our misconceiving amphibian forebears struggled toward land for us to stand on our own two feet, have to lie down for night repairs, trust Ambien for deepsea dreams.
