"Here is where it gets weird. My friend and I had very similar vivid dreams/nightmares that night. We both dreamt we were kidnapped by 'Mermen.'
I received the following account:
"Hi, Lon. I live in Iceland and thought that I would share my spooking story with you. We have a deep mythology of elves and supernatural beings here, but I’ve always dismissed them as folklore until this trip to the Westfjords. The Westfjords are a terrifyingly beautiful place, with steep cliffs and long winding fjords. It is very remote and difficult to access, and the oldest part of Iceland.
Long story short, we were driving and taking advantage of the long daylight hours (A Sunday at 1 AM), but the weather turned bad, and we decided to sleep in the jeep on a hill very close to the sea cliffs. Now, we all fell asleep quickly with the sound of mighty waves crashing on the cliffs and the Jeep being hit with rain and sea spray.
Here is where it gets weird. My friend and I had very similar vivid dreams/nightmares that night. We both dreamt we were kidnapped by 'Mermen.' Not Little Mermaids, but Mermen, who are scary beings with big teeth and ugly faces. There are little details I remember, like one Merman showing me a spine on its face and telling me that it was poisonous, like the same way a stingray’s barbs are poisonous and if we didn’t comply it would sting us and we’d be dead in an instant. They showed us this incredible technology, and a projector thing that could show you your sins. Something told me that if the sin was too great, we weren’t going back home. My “greatest sins” were played in front of everyone, and I felt like I passed some sort of test, and we were then shown this complex. It seemed like Atlantis, very futuristic. Also, I got the sense we were deep underwater. Well, after this tour, we were brought back to the surface. My friend had a Merman dream at the same time as mine (mainly remembering “men walking out from the sea”) with different but similar details. We both agreed that it was very strange to have dreams of being kidnapped by aquatic people.
Well, this could all just be crazy dreams. It's on the way back; we stopped at the Sea Monster Museum in Bildudalur, and they have an old depiction of a Merman (shown below) that is eerily similar to what we dreamt about. We were both very unsettled by this. So, if you camp near the southern tip of Flokalundur (close to the haunted cave from Gisla’s saga), there is a chance you might meet an actual Mermaid. But watch out, they are not babes, they are instead fish people who will eat you if you are a bad person on the inside." S
