saving the fish
Last night I had a very stressful dream and woke up frustrated and crying.
In it, I was bringing home little tropical fish to put in the 3 fishtanks I have in my room. I was carrying them in a double-sided giant ziplock bag with red crisscrosses on it. The fish were tiny, beautiful replicas of bigger tropical fish such as angel fish and others I have never even seen before. I believe there were 6 of them total. Well, I was stressed and scared that I would drop the fish before I could get them into their new homes. My parents showed up, wanting to help, and did just the opposite. My did grabbed the bottom of the bag and opened the ziplock part dropping all of the fish out onto the kitchen floor just as I walked in to my house. He was laughing as well in a ridiculous (haha isn't that silly?) sort of way. I was frantically trying to get the fish back into the back, but ever since my dad opened it, it didn't close tightly anymore and the water kept draining out pretty quickly. So, I kept refilling the bag over and over and grabbing the fishies as quickly as possible until there was only one more fish to grab, a pretty purple and red crown-tailed betta. I attempted to grba it but all of a sudden, my father was beside me knocking my hand out of the way over and over so I couldn't get it. meanwhile, the water in the bag was leaking fast and all my work was being undone. I started screaming and crying and woke up doing just that.
PS- my dad is pretty stupid in real life in that weird joking-type way, but he loves and takes care of many animas which is why his behavior in my dream didn't make any sense.
Any ideas on what this dream could have meant?
