For the same reason, dreams of shrimps actually emphasize how we act about the small things in life. Sometimes we are way too focused on having more and more of everything, that we don’t even notice the small pleasures happening daily.
Some things are not meant to last long, that is what raises their value and if we don’t find a way to enjoy the moment, we might end up losing the whole picture.
According to some interpretations, when you dream of shrimp it means that you are feeling as small as shrimp compared to others. Feeling of being unimportant, insignificant, unseen.

But don’t let it overwhelm you. You could end up going in a whole different direction.
