I tried to save a decaying betta that kept floating off into the air. I also visited a penguin exhibit (it was January in the dream, so the ice “hadn’t melted yet”), directed some rhinoceroses into battle, and used a giant golden retriever puppy as a hand cannon to defeat the evil blue-and-black rubber creatures who were chasing me.

This dream illustration in ballpoint pen, and over 120 like it, can be found in print form in my Book of Dreams (and Nightmares): Volume 1, available from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1548199664).
