It was then that the cupbearer of Ezina’s wine-house, Sargon, lay down not to sleep, but lay down to dream. In the dream, holy Inana drowned Ur-Zababa in a river of blood. The sleeping Sargon groaned and gnawed the ground. When King Ur-Zababa heard about this groaning, he was brought into the king’s holy presence, Sargon was brought into the presence of Ur-Zababa (who said:) “Cupbearer, was a dream revealed to you in the night?” Sargon answered his king: “My king, this is my dream, which I will tell you about: There was a young woman who was as high as the heavens and as broad as the earth. She was firmly set as the base of a wall. For me, she drowned you in a great river, a river of blood.”
Very likely unrelated. I went looking for the lament of Ur then I remembered a passage from a dream that I thought I remembered Sargon hving and found this while looking for that.

Is that from the particular tablet in the picture or is it unrelated?

I like your dream.
