Goran has no fear. Not in life and, as this story illustrates, also not in dreams. A few years ago he told me this dream; I find it so interesting that I must share it with you. With his approval, of course 
Goran’s summer dream:
Goran and his wife are on vacation, in Montenegro, in wonderful Bay of Kotor (I strongly recommend this place, if you haven’t yet seen a lot of the world: some years ago I was almost in love with this piece of Montenegro coast. A real nature’s pearl. And Montenegro people can really be very nice). So Goran is walking along the shore, alone, as he notices that everybody escapes from the water in panic. “What’s going on?”, he thinks, as the people are running by in despair. Then he sees a big shark’s fin in the sea. Not one - several of them. And big. So, brave and noble as he is, without thinking twice, he immediately jumps in the waters, swims to the beasts, and kills them all with a knife that he somehow has with himself (it is dream! in real life he never carries a knife. So after this dream I gave him one Swiss Army Pocket Knife as a present. A man can never know. And anyway, it can be very handy for shortening nails and opening bottles).
As he swims back, he notices that the crowd ashore is still very upset: it seems that there is still something in the waters. Maybe one of the sharks survived? So he turns around and what can he see: another big shark is coming, a really big one, bigger than those that he has just sent away to the Eternal Seas. So he goes back again, directly towards the beast, and as the shark opens its huge jaws with hundreds of sharp teeth, he just places a big stick with knives on both ends directly in its mouth and - snap! - as the shark shuts the mouth it simply kills itself! (Of course he had the stick with him - it is a dream! But I did not present him with a stick afterwards).
So now Goran swims again back towards the shore, content as he only can be, when a big shadow casts over the entire Bay. “What is now going on?”, he thinks, irritated, as he slowly turns back again. “What could it be now - another shark? No way.” But this time there is something truly terrifying in the Bay: one really, really big shark fin in the middle of the sea. BIGGER than all the previous ones. MOTHER SHARK. Just BIG, BIG, BIG. With a fin as BIG as the Vrmac hill behind it. And angry, also, because her children are dead. So Goran swims back once more, fearless, determined to join her with her children. When he comes near, the mother shark opens her enormous jaws, ready to swallow him in one bite; but he just - jumps inside. And as the mouth closes behind him he starts thrusting his knife above himself, and in all directions, thrusting, thrusting, thrusting, until the shark gives up and dies. Then he just swims ashore, not looking behind, to the beach where no one can see him, and walks back to the hotel room.
His wife Emina, all crying and dressed in black, has already heard that he died in the uneven battle with the sharks. As he enters the room, she weeps: „You… no… it cannot be! You are… they told me… you are… dead!“. „Who? Me? Dead?! Come on! Don’t cry, it’s all right… And give me something to eat, I am starving!“.
