Weird Dreams

jadedmusingsI had this dream that Dad had a small room full of aquariums. I'd say there were probably 12 - 15 of them ranging from freshwater to saltwater. Oh, and one of the fish talked to me, well, more he yelled at me for not feeding him. Somehow, over the last year and some change, I had apparently forgotten about this room and the aquariums, so in the dream I was tending to these fish for the first time since July 2008. They were all alive, and though a couple of the tanks looked like they needed to be cleaned, overall the room was fine, so I only felt a little guilty about forgetting.
Now, my father never owned an aquarium in his life, unless you count our one failed attempt at raising seahorses when I was really young. Don't ask. However, my father was an avid fisherman, and he owned a huge boat he and his buddies regularly went ocean fishing in. He sold the boat to his friend Kenny before he passed. So connecting fish with my father isn't that hard of a leap, but an entire room full of aquariums? That I was supposed to be taking care of and had forgotten about? Weird. And I don't mean "Oops, I forgot," I mean until I walked into the room, I had completely erased this thing from my mind, and then suddenly my first thought was, "Oh, yeah. Dad's aquariums."
Either way, just a strange dream I wanted to remember. It was probably triggered by the fact the mayor of the tiny town right down the road from where I live passed away last week. The funeral was on Sunday, and I had to drive by the house that was filling with people, and I saw the hearse. I guess it brought back too many memories of last year, that combined with my loneliness that I posted about yesterday just made for a strange dream.
