Family activity dreams are extremely rare for me. Also, this takes place inside of a vehicle. Because I have had motion sickness most of my life, such dreams are also extremely rare, and they always have involved motion sickness except for this one.

My family is travelling around in a van full of fish. We have a family business selling sashimi grade fish to random people in the street. We encounter a van with a family that sells silverware. They agree to buy our fish, but they want to pay in silverware instead of cash. I question the authenticity of their silverware. It could just have a thin silver coating and have steel inside. It wouldn't be a fair exchange if it were not real silver.
My sister suggests that we combine our businesses instead of making an exchange. The silverware business somehow transforms into a tupperware business. My sister's suggestion is that we pack fish in tupperware and sell the combined product at a higher price. We pack fish for the rest of the dream until we run out of fish.

Do you get motion sickness in the subway system too?

Never in the subway, sometimes in the bus, and mostly in cars. It's the acceleration, deceleration, and turning that bothers me.

I like that it's Tupperware containers and not just any old resealable containers. The patented "burp." :)

What kind of fish was it? I've never had sashimi, so I don't know if any kind can be used . . .

It was salmon, but sashimi is typically made with tuna.

So it was kind of an experimental, risk-taking business, trying to make a new niche for yourselves. Interesting.

Not really. "Sashimi grade" doesn't mean it has to be used for sashimi. It just means it's fresh and clean enough to eat raw. Also, it's not completely exotic to make sashimi with salmon. It's just much more common to use tuna.

Ah. I had missed the word "grade" when I read before.

Also, most Americans would call it "sushi grade" instead of "sashimi grade". It's technically better to call it "sashimi grade", because sushi is often mistakenly used by Americans to mean sashimi. Sushi technically means anything that is made from rice and vinegar/mirin. Sashimi means raw fish is an ingredient. Because almost all sashimi is prepared as a type of sushi, the mistake in translation often is unnoticed.

I didn't know that. In that case, I suppose I would be willing to try sushi, but I doubt I'll ever eat sashimi.

You should try the eel. It's always cooked and it's very good when real eel is used. Some of the cheap places use fake eel.

It's doubtful that I'd try it. I haven't had the most pleasant experiences with seafood.
