So it's a "butterfly dreaming it's a human" situation for her. But there's more: near the end of the game, Marin ventures up into Tal-Tal Heights. After she leaves, the owl appears and says bemusedly that Marin went to sing to the egg, pondering if she believed she could wake the Wind Fish.

The thing is, Marin's song WORKS. It can wake the Wind Fish! I think that consciously or not, this is Marin having concocted a way to end the dream, so that she can escape it and return to the free-flying seagull form she dreams of.
