This was my take on why when Jack touchs the dreamsand a dolphin appears hope it doesn't dissapoint.
"Jack?" a sleepy voice murmured. Jack groaned groggily as he opened his eyes to see his little sister, Pippa, near him.
"What's the matter Pip?" he said a bit worriedly, as his big brother instincts kicked in, while he took in her frazzled state.
She bit her lip before whispering "Nightmare."
Jack's eyes softened as he motioned for her to join him. Pippa climbed into his arms nuzzling close to him as he held her close.
"It's all right." Jack said softly "I'll chase the nightmares away."
Brown identical eyes locked together at that point. Pippa relaxed knowing that she was safe with him. He would never let any harm come to her.
Never
Pippa listened to his soft breathing her face pressed against his chest. Taking comfort in his presence the fear brought forth by the nightmare slowly drifted away.
"You can sleep with me, no more nightmares 'kay? I'll chase them away." Jack said reassuringly confident in his ability to protect her. Even from her own mind.
"Okay" Pippa said leaning back on his chest before continuing in a small sleep riddled voice "Can you tell me a story?"
Jack eyes lit up he was good at stories, very good.
"Hmmm" he mumbled decided on which one Pippa would like the most right now. "Okay, how about one with animals?" Her smile was answer enough.
"Okay well you know Mr. Johnson right, the one that just came over on the big ship?" Pippa nodded listening eagerly. "Okay well when he was sailing to her he saw something in the water…..a dolphin."
"A dolphin!" Pippa exclaimed remembering the creature from a previous story.
"Not just one." He paused for emphasis "A whole pod of them, at least ten of them…." Jack spoke relaying the rest of the story to his sister. He stopped to find her in the lulls of sleep and held her more tightly preparing to drift off himself.
"Ja-Jack?" Pippa questioned a yawn breaking through half way.
"Yeah?" Jack responded glancing down at her.
"Do you think we can see the dolphins some day?" Jack paused at this.
"I'll tell you something Pippa I promised you we'll see the dolphins some day."
Pippa smiled Jack never broke his promises. The two fell asleep as a glittering dolphin made of sand graced their heads for the first time.
Jack skimmed along the ocean pausing at the pod of dolphins playing around. He watched them for a few moments as the memory came back to him
So that's why he dreamt of them….he was remembering his promise.
As Jack hovered over him he imagined his sister with him watching them as well. He hovered lost in his memories as a serene smile graced his face.
He glanced down at the pod again not sure if the joyful laugh followed by Pippa's voice saying "Oh! Jack they're beautiful!" was his imagination or not.
