I was in my kitchen and saw some crawfish that my ex-girlfriend had bought and left in my apartment after she left. I thought the crawfish were dead so I put the container they were in into the sink and ran the faucet. I left the kitchen, and, when I came back, the water made the crawfish come back to life and they had escaped onto the kitchen floor everywhere. I was extremely stressed and ran over them carefully to quickly grab a bowl to put them in and oven mitts to put on my hands so I could pick them up without getting clawed.
The dream might represent your current emotional state and unresolved feelings related to your past relationship with your ex-girlfriend. The dead crawfish could symbolize your perception that the relationship was over and done with. However, the fact that running water made them come back to life suggests that there might be some unresolved issues that require your attention. The crawfish escaping and being all over the kitchen floor could represent the chaos and confusion brought about by these unresolved issues. Your stress and urgency to contain the situation could suggest your desire to regain control over your emotions and your life. Overall, the dream might be advising you to confront any unresolved emotions related to your past relationship so that you can move on and avoid further chaos in your life.
