Dream
I dreamt that I was at my uncle, Papa, and Ma Bev's house and I got hungry so I went in their freezer and took out a small frozen lobster in a plastic wrap and I took it to a microwave which was on a top shelf over my head and I put it in and turned the microwave on and when the bell went off I opened the microwave and an ocean of water, thick murky water, just burst out of the microwave and poured all over my hair, my shoulders, my clothes, poured out all over the floor and it just kept pouring out, pouring out, gushing out, just kept pouring out. It wouldn't stop until it came up to about my knee level. And as I walked around to see all the devastation and all this water, there were fish in it. And I mean all kinds of fish. Everything from sharks to whales and barracuda and tuna and eels and jellyfish and salmon and blackfish and bluefish and every kind of fish you could possibly think of was swimming around in this water. And even dead fish. I saw a fish flopping around on top of the small counter with no body. It was just the head and the eyes were open and the mouth was moving back and forth and it was flopping around, but there was no body. It was just the head, so it should have been dead. And these fish were all over the house, the bedrooms, the hallway, the living room, the den, the bathrooms, the kitchen behind me, the back rooms, the front rooms, everywhere, counters, sinks, cabinets, furniture, couches, everywhere. And I felt really bad because I knew I had messed up their fishing trip. I had ruined all their fish and it was a huge mess all over their house and these are really clean people and I didn't know how I could clean up all this mess. It was way too much for one person to handle and I didn't know what I was gonna do and I kept walking around trying to figure it out but I wasn't afraid of the actual animals which I would normally be terrified of anything that's not human. I don't like animals. I don't like living things that aren't human but in this case I wasn't afraid of the animals. I was only afraid of disappointing my family. So eventually I decided I was just gonna have to accept that I was in trouble. So, I went to the back door and I slid open the glass doors and I heard the fish behind me sing, “freedom”. And they all swam out to freedom. They jumped off my head, off my shoulders. The jellyfish started unraveling themselves from between my toes. And they all swam out from the back bedrooms and the living room, bathrooms, from out the hallways. And they all swam out into the outside world, happily and calmly. And they swam out to freedom. And there was still a little vestiges all over the house, you know, just little pockets of water or fish. But the 99% of it was gone. And my little lobster was still sitting in the microwave on top of that shelf. But 99% of the mess was gone. And I was still calm. And I really want to know what that dream meant.
