Almost Like “Squid Game”

Date: 10/24/2021

Whom I think was the old man (Ill-nam) from squid game was back at it again in this dream. My mom and I ended up competing in a game similar to Squid Game, and I think Old Man was also the head of it. The challenge was really strange: we were dropped off in this jungle enclosure and instructed to find “life”, but it had to be edible for some reason. I found this potted plant, dug my hands through the dirt and found the seed-bulb. Then I… ate it (in front of Old Man). The old man was just sitting in the corner of the room. He counted that seed as “1” and I realized he was keeping track, but I was slightly frustrated because I didn’t know if we needed to hit a certain number to get out alive. My mom was basically oblivious and/or she didn’t care, as she wasn’t really helping. Anyway, I found more bulbs and ate them. I wondered to myself, “do I really need to eat these?” There was a little time skip, and I ended up in this fish shop. You could buy fish and (I think) fishing supplies. I was under the impression that the same challenge applied. So, when I saw a dead fish on the floor, I picked it up in front of Old Man and asked myself, “how am I going to eat this?”. I didn’t eat that dead fish, but it still counted. I’m not sure what happened after that.
