Exeunt



    In this dream the caretaker of a saltwater(?) aquarium was refilling the tank and forgot, or didn't care, that he had already added (salt) to the water, and added some more. The fish, sensing that they were now poisoned and doomed, began to indiscriminately eat each other whole. Some were eating fish so large that they died in the process. I reached in and poked the back of a large pudgy fish, so it regurgitated another fish it had nearly swallowed. One small fish was hiding in a crevice under a rock, knowing it would soon die from environmental circumstances or be eaten. I added fresh water to the tank to dilute the poison, though probably too late.
