Fish Magic

Date: 5/21/2020

I was scrolling through Instagram when I saw my friend had posted about a religious ceremony she had recently done. In this ceremony, she created and then sacrificed a fish. First you put a penny on a strip of paper, then you cover the penny with water and it turns into a copper-colored fish, which you put down the drain. I was fascinated by this and decided to do it myself, and it worked perfectly. I felt guilty about putting it down the drain, so I made another couple of fish and put them in a glass bowl. Then I somehow found some Orbeez-like things that turned into smaller and more colorful fish when you put them in water, and I added several of them to my aquarium. I was in my living room (the dream started out in the bathroom, but I had somehow gotten to the living room without noticing) and there were hundreds of the little fish Orbeez all over the ground. My dad walked across them and several of them broke while I was scrambling to pick them up and put them in my bowl.
