What It Means to Dream About Fish
Dreaming of a fish is read as a dream that represents abundance, intuition, and wishes that lie deep in your heart.
The Basic Meaning
In dream interpretation, a fish is a symbol of abundance and intuition. A fish swimming freely in the water is read as representing wishes that lie deep in your heart, and an intuition that does not become words. Because fish have also been a symbol of a good catch and of harvest since long ago, this dream also appears in a season when the fruits of your efforts, and a harvest, may be drawing near. The size and liveliness of the fish reflect the strength of that wish or intuition.
What It Means in Different Situations
A Fish Swimming Energetically
This represents a state in which both your feelings and your luck are circulating well. It is a season when your intuition is sharp, so try to treasure your flashes of insight.
Catching a Fish
This is a state in which you are trying to seize an opportunity. It is a sign that the balance between a posture of waiting and the timing of pulling up has come together.
A Large Fish
This represents a large wish, or the possibility of an unexpected harvest. A goal you had felt was too big for you may, surprisingly, be drawing near.
Eating a Fish
This represents a season of turning what you have gained into your own strength. It is a season when learning and experience are easily absorbed.
Colorful Fish
This is a state in which the breadth of your sensibilities and pleasures is widening. There are likely to be happy discoveries in hobbies and creative pursuits.
Your State of Mind When You Have This Dream
This is a dream you are likely to have in a season when your inner senses are more active than outward action. It is also a season when you want to receive the feeling that "somehow, it feels good" without treating it lightly.
How It Differs from Similar Dreams
Whereas a sea dream represents "the breadth of emotions and possibilities themselves," a fish dream represents "the concrete wishes and harvests growing within them." It is also in contrast with a bird dream, which deals with the freedom of the sky.
The Flow of Your Luck, and Some Advice
Your luck is in a flow of quietly filling up. Rather than casting your net in a hurry, a posture of watching how the water looks and waiting suits this season. A small action chosen by intuition can sometimes lead to a large harvest later on.
