Lobsters.

There were many ideas brought up in the discussion about "Lobsters." Some I had already thought of, but many were new to me. One that stuck out to me was that the poem was relating lobsters to people. I hadn't really thought of it that way. Sometimes it's hard to think beyond the literal level, and go to the next one. It was brought up in both discussion, and it really made me think of the poem in a different way.

After hearing that the poem was relating lobsters to people, and thinking about that for a while, it helped me understand the symbolic meaning of "Lobsters." To think that the lobsters were "dreaming," like how people do. You don't really think of lobsters as having thoughts, and they may not, but people for sure do. We are constantly thinking, a never ending chain of ideas going around in our heads. When the author said that lobsters are hollow shells of dreams is like saying that they are just bodies, filled with dreams that they all want. Like people.
