Dreaming
Starswirl the Bearded was pacing along the sloped beaches, but there was two of him, like a mirror image. Each version of him was going the opposite way, so they passed each other at regular intervals. I was a pegasus, and there was another pegasus as well on the island, standing a little ways away.
The water began to rise, sucking away the sand beneath our hooves. For some reason, the paddle attachment (a mixer attachment used in Culinary) was half buried in the damp sand, but at the time I paid it no attention in my mind.
The three of us retreated, Starswirl forming back into one pony as we fled. We reached a sandbar further into the island, and stood atop that.
"What are we going to do?" I cried, my stormy gaze casting worried glances between the gray unicorn and the other pegasus.
"If we're smart, we can wait out the rising waters here." Starswirl said gruffly, glaring out across the waves. But all too soon, the water began to creep up the sandbank, wetting our hooves with the salty brine of the sea.
We fled down the slope, away from the water, until we reached the table in the middle of the island's dip. We climbed on top of that, watching the water with tired eyes. We had been awake for so long since we had fallen into this world, first with the weatherman incident, then awakening on the island, and now the rising water. I was exhausted, and it was clear that none of us could go on much longer without some form of rest.
"We have to flee, or we'll die out here!" I said fiercely, frantically looking around for something to save us. I caught sight of a ship leaving the harbor, one among many like it, and I knew that might be our only chance to escape with out lives. "Can you two make it to that ship?" I asked, turning back around to look at the two.
The other pegasus spoke up for the first time. "We could flee to the docks, the people there might be able to help us until we can make it back to Equestria." I gave her a hard look, debating if that would be the safest choice to make.
The rising water made the decision for me. As the waves swept over the top of the table, I lifted my wings in preparation for takeoff. "Let's go." I lifted myself into the air, but the powerful winds immediately swept me into one of the posts that stick up out of the ocean for boats to go in between. I could tell I was hurt by the ringing in my head and the loud crack that rang out from the impact.
I couldn't breath, the world had gone blurry around me as the wind was knocked cleanly from my lungs. Starswirl was just a fading gray blob in the distance as he used his magic to flee from the incoming storm, and I thought I was done for as I started slowly sliding down the slippery post.
Suddenly, I was lifted from the wet post I had been knocked into, and when I looked up, it was the other pegasus who had come to rescue me. My vision was fading in and out as he carried me, and the last thing I remembered before blacking out was the soft melody he was humming to keep time as he winged toward the land mass ahead of us.
Then as a spray of water washed over me from the ocean below, I closed my eyes for a final time, my shallow breaths barely heard above the roar of the water. I had blacked out.

Dreams are weird, aren't they? I know there was more to this dream, like the weatherman incident mentioned above, but this was the only part I could remember clearly.
Anyways, cya all later.
