I dreamt I was an eagle flying across a river mouth near the ocean. A great storm front was coming onshore with rain and 60 mph onshore gusts.

In the brown muddy water below was floating two objects from upstream, perhaps swept away by the swelling river in the storm: a bear splashing for his life followed a few moments later by the shiny sky blue top of a submerged VW bug, both rushing towards the tumultuous sea.

I used my telescopic vision to target their location as they completely submerged in the muddy and brackish waters, and circled around as strong gusts pushed me towards the mountains inland. The impulse to somehow help them was as strong as the impulse to hunt for prey. I tucked my wings and plummeted to the water, finding the two at the river bottom. Upon touching them they disappeared.

I emerged above the surface and saw their fate as I flew away:

the bear made his way back through the forest towards the mountains. the vw appeared on the other shore of the river under an ironwood tree, now shaped like a royal blue vw dune buggy, with some teenagers gathered around it.

The vw now had a removable device that was either for entertainment or research where the radio usually goes. After using it the teenagers snapped it back into place and I woke up.
