Keeping a huge live lobster on kitchen shelf

I was preparing for my big Thanksgiving feast for the family. Somehow I had gone out and purchased an enormous live lobster. I had, for some reason, decided to take the rubber bands off of him and put him up on our top kitchen shelf, over the countertop. I was looking at him and becoming very nervous, realizing that this may have, in fact, been a very bad idea. I was also worried because I had done this a whole day BEFORE I was supposed to cook the dinner. I was very worried that he, and I think at this point his name became Charlie, was not getting everything he needed and was suffering. Everyone else seemed to think it was perfectly alright to leave Charlie up there on the shelf all day and night, but I was trying to figure out what he could eat or how I could help him stay moist for his gills (if that’s what they have.) I was also very frightened and wondering what I had been thinking, taking off those rubber bands. He was now bright red like a cooked lobster, but still walking around and looking very sad and on edge. *Here I woke up and went and ate some crackers and peanut butter, a very bad habit I have when at my folks’ house. I think this dream was directly related to having been in the backseat of my dad’s suv when he hit a big deer head on at 40 mph, that evening. I had watched the deer stumble into the ditch and twitch several times before we passed by him. A couple of hunters came out of their house down the road and after checking on us went to check on the deer (maybe to take home?) I think the guilt was eating at me to not call the police right away. I didn’t bc my dad and his friend wanted to drive the leaking car with it’s bumper in the backseat home quick and not wait around. But I probably should have called from the car, idk. I just hope that deer was dead.
