The old man‚ we are told‚ "no longer" dreams about people – just the places‚ and namely the lions. You can go a few directions with this. First‚ the lions are a memory from his youth. Much of his struggle with the fish is about proving that he’s still there. The old man has a statement to make: he’s still
