I dreamed about fish in my bathtub. First there was a small goldfish, then another small goldfish, then a slightly larger, colorful fish.
I sent somebody, a female friend I guess, but nobody in particular, to get me a bucket, so I could get the fish out and save them. I would put them in the canal. (The bathtub was in the family room of the house on Siesta Key where I grew up.) Eventually we got a bucket, but more fish kept appearing in the bathtub and she was trying to help get them in the bucket for me. So many fish. There were a couple large catfish outside the tub on the carpet. They didn’t appear to be moving and I wasn’t trying to save them. But the goldfish in the tub were becoming more and more.
Then I noticed Jessie Bella, my African Grey parrot who died in my arms in 2018, was also in the tub. I reached down and grabbed her and pulled her out of the water. She spit up some water and then was ok. Then I saw Ziggy Star also in the water and I pulled him out. He was also ok. He flew into the kitchen and perched atop the refrigerator.
I told the people in the living room to make sure to keep the door closed because Ziggy Star might get scared and fly away. Jessie Bella never would do that, so I didn’t mention her to them.
My friend continued to help me remove the constantly growing number of colorful goldfish from the bathtub by putting them into the bucket. Then she pulled an Avon box (of Mom’s) into the bucket from the tub and was trying to get those things out and dry. I said that’s not a fish; that’s not what we are trying to save.
That’s how the #dream ended and I woke up.
