Dead in the water

At some point in this dream i came across my dead body floating in shallow water. Initially startled, the experience was rendered comical when to my horror I discovered that my carcass' receding hairline was showing, and I hastened to fix it before anyone noticed.

To conclude, pretentiously, an extract from T.S. Eliot's 'Waste Land'.

IV. DEATH BY WATER PHLEBAS the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep seas swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea	315
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.
Gentile or Jew
O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,	320
Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you.
