This dream was vividly clear, and stayed with me for days.
I walked into my bedroom to find a grey, office type trash can on the floor. it had a clear trash liner in it, and was filled with water and two big, round, bright orange gold fish. One of the fish had his mouth out of the water and was gasping. I added more water and he swam back below the surface, but started to do that slow, sideways float that fish do when they’re nearing the end. Suddenly there were large, gnat-like bugs floating on the surface of the water. I scooped them out and they turned into bumble bees, which tried to eat the goldfish. Then my 6 month old puppy appeared, except he looked like a fiercely independent orange tabby cat I used to have. my cat used to eat large flies for fun, which seems relevant since my puppy ended up eating the fish that was dying, and was having the best time ever doing so.
I have my own theories on the meaning of this dream, but I would like to hear yours.
