Dreaming of Fish

fish, carp · mostly positive

Fish are mostly a sign of luck, money and affection, unless they are dead or slip away.

What happens in the dream

  • Fish in clear water: favour from the wealthy and powerful
  • Dead fish: a loss of wealth or power
  • You catch big fish: excellent fortune, earned by your own efforts
  • You fish but catch nothing: a failed venture, or a rejection in love
  • The fish falls off the hook: unsettled fortune
  • You see plenty of fish: money coming in
  • You eat fish: warm and lasting attachments
  • You are single: a handsome and talented admirer

How you felt

  • Curiosity: the dream may reflect what is rising up from below the surface
  • Hope: it may show you are waiting for a good catch, an opening

Ask yourself

  • What opportunity am I watching for?
  • What is slipping away from me?
