Dream symbols related to fish

Here are some common fish dream symbolic meanings

Abundance: we often associate fish with abundance. Think of a large fishing boat catching plenty of fish to feed a crowd of people. Fish can be a symbol of financial security, wealth, and achieving success in pursuit of a goal.

Spiritual connection: We often associate fish with spiritual connection, especially for Christians. Dreaming about a fish can be a way to connect to a higher level of Christ’s consciousness. Depending on the context of the dream, fish dreams can be a call to awaken and enter a higher level of consciousness and spiritual development.

Duality: when we are at a lower vibration of energy, it is easy to get caught up in the duality of the world around us. It often seems that there are opposing forces: good versus evil or darkness versus light. We are often faced with choices that seem completely paradoxical and opposite, but at the same time, everything is interconnected. In dualistic thinking, we see big versus small fish or the top and bottom of the food chain.

Fertility: it is common for women to dream about fish when they are trying to get pregnant or when they are pregnant. Many types of fish lay thousands of eggs, so they are often considered a symbol of fertility.

Change and transformation: Fish are often a symbol of change and transformation in our lives. There is a reason why there are so many legends and fairy tales about people turning into fish to escape oppression. Water is a powerful symbol that can reflect many things, such as emotion, change, abundance, and transformation. Since fish are natural inhabitants of water, they are often associated with the same symbolic meanings.

Flow and movement: fish live in water and can swim with the current. The sight of a fish trying to swim against the current in a dream may indicate that you are not necessarily doing what is by the natural instincts of the soul.

Cleanliness: fish are also often associated with cleanliness. In order to eat fish, you need to clean it properly. Many fish species naturally clean the environment, for example, bottom feeders eat algae, which makes life possible for many species.

Many waters are polluted, thus sometimes fish can pay attention to the environment to reduce pollution.

Fish can sometimes present themselves as a spirit or power animal. In such cases, it is most important to recognize the type of fish. A carp may have a different meaning than a goldfish; a clownfish is certainly different from a trout. If you are interested in a particular species of fish and what it means in a dream, it is best to look at fish in their natural habitat.

Ask yourself the following questions:

  • What type of environment is the species’ native habitat?
  • Is the fish peaceful or aggressive?
  • Do the fish represent any of the common themes listed above? {i.e.: fertility, abundance, purity, transformation, flow}.
  • What colors are associated with the fish?

This could be a sign of a corresponding chakra that needs work or another meaning of color symbolism.

Fish dream

Fish is among the more interesting dream symbols that appear in our dreams. Most often it is a harbinger of important things in our lives, and in our dreams, it can appear in very different contexts, not always such that we immediately pay attention to this symbol.

However, we should not underestimate it, because it has important and rich symbolism.

Interpreting dreams about a fish

Freud believed that the fish is a symbol signifying male sexuality, while Jung considered fish as symbols of the deepest layers of our self. Thus, if fish appear in our dreams, it may mean that we fear, perhaps only subconsciously, impotence or have problems with too small a libido, which negatively affects our lives.

Equally well, however, the fish in our dream can mean the occurrence of some new phase in our life, a kind of rebirth, a change in our interests or life aspirations. When we dream that we are fishing, it can mean that we want to improve our sexual prowess, we want to win someone over, or we are trying to get to know ourselves better by allowing the deeper parts of our subconscious to speak.

When we dream that we are eating fish, it symbolizes us taking in spiritual nourishment, tapping into the deeper layers of our self, or trying to discover the secrets of our soul. If in a dream we are a fish, it is a sign for us to regain our spiritual youth and improve our well-being.

When we see many fish or fish eggs in a dream, it foreshadows some kind of renewal for us or is a symbol of fertility.
