Dreaming of Fishing

fishing, catch, fly-fishing · mixed

Fishing in a dream begins with worry, but it all depends on the catch: fish mean success, nothing means failure.

What happens in the dream

  • You catch fish: success in love and business
  • You catch a great many fish: great wealth
  • You catch nothing: your current relationship or project won't work out
  • You are fishing: sorrow and trouble
  • The fish slips from your hands: a restless partner and a false friend

How you felt

  • Waiting: the dream may reflect the patience a project demands
  • Uncertainty: it may show fear of coming home empty-handed

Ask yourself

  • What am I hoping to land right now?
  • Is my patience being rewarded?
