Dream interpretation

Dreaming of fish usually stands for feelings hidden deep in your mind. Just as fish move silently under the water, these feelings are not directly visible, yet they stay active inside you all the time. What the water was like, and whether the fish let you catch it, decide much of the meaning.

  • Colorful fish swimming in clear water

    Your state of mind is calm right now, and you can see your own feelings clearly.

  • Trying to catch fish in muddy water

    It speaks of a feeling or a decision you have not yet fully understood.

  • Catching a fish

    It shows confidence that you can seize an opportunity you have been waiting for.

  • A fish slipping out of your hands

    It is the feeling of losing something that came almost within reach and then slipped away.

  • A dead fish

    It points to an opportunity or a relationship slowly wasting away.

Fish know how to swim even against the current. You too have that natural ability to find your own way through hard situations.
