the bird in the video has very pale plumage, despite it's type.
here's some pages about peacock dream symbols.

that second page says:
"Black peacock in dreams suggest that people might be spreading rumors about you, usually out of jealousy."
such an idea doesn't seem to fit your dream story.
i was thinking about peacocks as 'normally' putting on a display...
broadcasting their presence for all to see.
i was considering how black absorbs light energy, and doesn't
reflect it out, and i'm thinking that those dream peacocks may have
been engaged in collecting information, rather than broadcasting it.
for them to commend you could signify their recognition of you as
doing the same thing, through manufactured means. it may be
that they'd recognized you as a "kindred spirit", perhaps you've
had a life experience as one of their kind... and/or perhaps they
are available to be a 'totem animal' for you.
i don't see the dream as having given you instructions on adding
water. however, since a dry mouth hampers communication, the
dream may have served as a warning of sorts to not focus too
heavily on attracting information, at the expense of becoming
unable to effectively relay your collected information to others.
