Dream analysis of dreaming of fish:
[Dream Example 1]
Dream: Many people say that dreaming of fish is auspicious and represents abundance, but I'm not sure if that's true. However, I often dream of fish. Once, I dreamed that I was standing by a large pond with clear water, and there were many fish freely swimming in the water. (Female, 29 years old)
Dream analysis: Dreaming of fish is a very auspicious dream, symbolizing wealth and power. Dreaming of fish swimming freely in clear water suggests that you will gain wealth and power. If the fish in the dream are jumping in the water, it signifies smooth career progress and continuous accumulation of wealth.
Dreaming of riding on the back of a fish and freely swimming in the water indicates that your physical health will improve day by day.
If you dream of fish jumping in the water, it is a good omen. However, if you dream of fish jumping out of the water and landing on the ground, it is a warning that you should think twice before acting in your interactions with others. If the fish jumps out of the water and then returns to the water, it indicates that you will be able to overcome difficulties and achieve success.
[Dream Example 2]
Dream: A merchant had a dream one night. In the dream, he saw his mother in a lush green rice field next to a large lake that resembled a pond. His mother asked him to release the water, and reluctantly, he opened the floodgate, allowing a large amount of water to flow through. There were several young men swimming there. He took a fishing rod to fish, and the first catch was a carp, which he put in a bucket. Later, the young men came over and started playing with the fish bait in the water. Suddenly, a large pit appeared near the bait, and the ground sank. The water flowed out of that pit. At that moment, his mother asked him to close the floodgate, and he reluctantly went and closed it. The merchant woke up suddenly.
Dream analysis: The lush green rice field signifies a stable life. The mother represents a part of the dreamer's personality. The large lake resembling a pond signifies the accumulation of wealth. The mother asking the dreamer to release the water, and the dreamer's reluctance to open the floodgate, signifies the dreamer's unwillingness to use that wealth. The large amount of water flowing through indicates that the dreamer has used and spent a significant portion of that wealth. The presence of several young men swimming there signifies that others are also utilizing that wealth, but in a different way than the dreamer. The dreamer taking a fishing rod and catching some fish indicates that the dreamer is using that wealth and gaining some benefit from it. The young men coming over to play with the fish bait in the dream signifies that it will affect the dreamer's gains. The appearance of a large pit, sinking ground, and the water flowing out from that pit indicate that the dreamer has experienced some loss of wealth in a certain area. The mother asking the dreamer to close the floodgate, and the dreamer reluctantly closing it, symbolizes the dreamer's inner conflict about not wanting to waste that wealth anymore.
