Dreams Related To Fish and fishing

Gathering fish from the sea

My dream is about me collecting fish from the sea.

The sea is often connected with the idea of opportunity. You may be at a point in your life where there are many different options or paths you can choose. The image of trying to collect fish from the sea, however, indicates facing challenges or some tough situations. This dream can, therefore, be taken as a sign that you may face some difficulties on the path you choose, but the results of your hard work and dedication are likely to be very beneficial and rewarding for you in the future.

Holding a white fish

I was holding a white fish.

The image of holding a fish in your bare hands points toward getting emotionally involved in a situation, particularly one that involves your social group. One of your friends may be going through some hard times or may have received some unfortunate news. Additionally, the white color of the fish indicates something unusual about this case. For example, the news might have been a complete surprise. This vision suggests, through your holding of the fish, that you should try to offer support to this person during their time of need.

Fish swimming around and cleaning feet

I dreamt I had little fish swimming around my feet... But they were cleaning my feet.

Experiencing a dream about yourself standing in water and seeing fish swimming around your feet is a very good sign of luck and fortune. The vision of this fish cleaning your feet points to enjoyable trip or visit you are about to have, perhaps within a short distance from where you live now, which would lead to these happy events or fortunate circumstances. Some dream interpretation sources also refer to this vision as a possibility of giving birth to a daughter for those who are planning to expand their family.

Fishing and catching a pig instead of fish

I have had several dreams of hooking a fish badly and them swimming away still hooked and in pain. But once I dreamed I caught something big that wasn't a fish at all. I swear I think it was a pig, but am not entirely sure. Go ahead and tell me if you think I am just plain crazy.

Seeing yourself fishing, but unable to catch any fish in a dream tells you about the vain and pointless desires you are trying to entertain, which will not yield any significant outcomes you were hoping to get while pursuing them. Your business projects may not be as successful as you thought they would be when you first started working on them, but there is a chance of good luck and fortunate developments as the business progresses, as the image of catching a pig instead of fish signifies. The same could be true about your insecure or timid nature when it comes to intimate relationships, most likely because someone in the past had made you feel uncomfortable or hurt you emotionally.

Trying to hold on to fishes

My thesis adviser gave me two fishes. A round one and a thin and long one. I tried to hold them, but it wriggles out of my hand. Then a male friend of mine killed those fishes so I could hold them tight.

Envisioning yourself being presented with fish suggests you wish to have sexual relations with the person who gave them to you, in this case, your advisor. The live fish represent success in romantic endeavors, suggesting initial forays may look promising. However, the dead fish at the end of the vision suggest loss and disappointment, and may even point toward an onset of a sickness, not necessarily related to the circumstances mentioned above.

Attacked by fishes in a tank

There were three fishes in the clear blue ocean, but inside of a fish tank. Two fishes swam together on my right and the one stayed on my left, which swam at the bottom of the tank and bit me on my foot then my hand when I tried to grab it.

This dream is a bit of a mixed basket that predicts good fortune but also contains a warning. Seeing three fish together in a fish tank predicts you are soon to experience a period in your life filled with happiness and joy. The cause of your pleasure is seen in your impression that the tank water was from or part of the ocean, as oceans are symbolic of rare and beneficial opportunities. This means you are likely to be given a once in a lifetime chance which, if you take it, would dramatically improve your position in life. However, there is a word of caution. Trying to grab one of the fish indicates that you may take advantage of or abuse your new rank, paying little attention to your actions and treating others badly. If you become over-confident or careless, you may wind up with worse than a bite on the hand.

Struggling to prepare a big fish

I had a dream that I was assisting a woman to cut big live fishes, maybe for sale or eating, so there was this particular one so stubborn, dark, and gigantic, seemed it had an iron body, even cutters didn't have any effect. Then it escaped, so I was so confused when I worked up... Afterwards, we might have forgotten about it, later we saw two other able men chasing it inside the gutter where it escaped, but they didn't succeed. Please, I really need an understanding of it. Thanks.

This vision suggests there is some turmoil in your life even though things are mostly going well for you. Helping a woman in dealing with live fish does have a positive connotation, indicating that life at the moment is happy and fulfilling, especially your relationships. However, the one large, dark-colored fish could represent the presence of worries or concerns. There is no particular reason you should be upset at the moment, and yet you cannot shake the feeling that something is not right, as indicated by your difficulty in cutting this particular fish. This dream does not indicate whether your feelings are substantiated or not, but it might be a good idea to try and relax and live in the moment.

Preparing small fish to be cooked

I dreamt about preparing small kind of fishes, I am washing them, so that I can cook them for someone.

Cooking or frying fish, or preparing fish to cook a meal is a bad sign of some major troubles and stressful situations. It can also be telling you about upcoming periods of disappointment and the resulting fatigue or tiredness you are about to experience. The fact the fish was small in this dream does not diminish the magnitude of these upcoming circumstances. This dream usually calls for getting advice or just having a discussion with your close friends, family members or people whom you can trust. Your intuition and common sense alone may not be enough to help you overcome these difficulties.

A frog turning into a colorful fish

I felt something lodged in my throat. Once I coughed it up, I found what appeared to be a small clear frog in my hands. This worried and confused me. I began squeezing the frog and turning it, it felt plastic. I rotated it once more to find it became a fish. Still plastic in feeling and seemingly lifeless, but this time it had some color to it. An orange stripe down its back and a blue and purple fin. I squeezed it and noticed a red light from the tail, the fish began swinging its tail left to right in a swimming motion.

Touching and squeezing a frog is a highly negative sign associated with something in your life bringing up negative emotions or making you recall a past event that had left a bad taste in your mouth and put you in a bad mood. This seems especially true given the fact the frog came from within you, meaning it is the manifestation of those uncomfortable, disagreeable feelings. While this sounds bad, watching the seemingly dead, but colorful fish come back to life portends that whatever situation you may be in would be ending in your favor. Even though you may be in some discomfort and frustration now, you can look forward to a positive outcome in the end.

A redfish in shallow water on the street

I had a dream about a big redfish in the street in shallow water.

A redfish symbolically represents your ability to get things done and provide for yourself and your family. The shallow water suggests things might be a little tough right now, but the size of the fish indicates that you can overcome the challenges you face through mental strength, resilience and grit.

Fishing with rotten meat

My ex-husband was fishing using meat as bait. I threw the meat into a dirty river. He was angry at me. I went and bought another piece of meat, but it was dark and rancid and not like the piece I threw into the river. Then I woke up.

Watching someone fishing in your dream is a subconscious reflection of your motivation to succeed and overcome existing or anticipated hurdles in your life. However, the image of dark, rancid or rotting meat represents an upcoming dark period or challenges. It could also signify health issues and hardships. Maybe someone from the past will enter your life and either help you recover or drag you deeper into difficulty. Only in trying times can you find out who your true friends are.

Pink fishes close by

I had a dream I was swimming and had a pink fish swim right up to my face and just stared at me. I also had a dream that I was in a submarine and saw heaps of glowing pink fish.

To see heaps of fish in your dream indicate a desire to grab all opportunities and changes coming your way to succeeding in life instead of relying solely on your fate. The submarine represents your introspection about the breaks and prospects that are appearing on your horizon. Perhaps you are weighing the pros and cons of choosing one opportunity over the other. Alternatively, the submarine could also refer to your ability to choose among a variety of perspectives. The vision may be symbolic of your open mind. Either way, you may be presented with a lot of options to further your career, hence your subconscious is reminding you to be circumspect with your decisions.

Catching crayfish with bare hands

I was dreaming that I was in a river and I was catching crawfish under stones with my two hands. I catch every one of them, I lay hands on and they were all live crawfish. But none hurt me. What does that dream mean?

A dream in which you see yourself in a river catching crawfish with your own two hands is a subconscious representation of an innate ability to find ways out of sticky and difficult situations. In the near future, you may be put in a position where such skills could be quite helpful to you. As long as you keep a clear mind and a cool head you could come out on top of any difficult situation.

A swordfish inside a leg

I had a swordfish entering my leg and then I pulled it out, but it went back in, but I was able to pull some back out, but left a fin in the leg.

Symbolically, the leg is associated with freedom and independence. The swordfish, on the other hand, represents the key to achieving your desire for autonomy. The swordfish is often linked to ideas of sexuality and assertiveness. As such, perhaps your subconscious is telling you to draw on attributes typically associated with these sides of your character in order to become the person you want to be or to achieve the kind of lifestyle you want to lead.

Exotic fish in a fish tank

I have seen large black expensive unique fishes, in my stream-like water tank in which a little far dirty water is mixed in. They jumped and more tourist-like people, most of them were my karate classmates, go between the stream-type tank. And meanwhile I am also busy in my karate.

This vision is a fairly ominous sign warning of potential storms in your area. The black fish represents rain in literal form, indicating you are about to be affected by stormy weather, possibly a typhoon or hurricane. This is also supported by the image of the dirty water that has been mixed in with the regular water, which points toward the commotion and damage caused by natural disasters. You may want to take precautions with both your valuables and your escape plans lest you may be caught unprepared.

A fish out of water

I saw a fish which was out of water, but it was still breathing. So I start giving it water and then it comes to life, it was a big fish but not too big.

This dream may be related to the "fish out of water" saying, which refers to alienation. You could be feeling left out in your current social circle. Giving water to the fish alludes to your ability to adapt to your peers or colleagues to survive. This could be your subconscious mind's way of urging you not to get discouraged in the face of rejection and to persevere against all odds.

Fishes in a bowl

I dream that there where two fish, one blue and the other white, swimming in my bowl at peace.

Watching two fishes of different colors peacefully swimming in a bowl points to the stand you may have taken in an argument, which is the correct thing to do. Staying neutral and trying not to interfere with other people's issues can be a sound strategy to not be dragged into problems that do not really concern you.

Bringing dead fish back to life

I dreamt that dead fishes were floating in a pond and I got them back to life.

Seeing dead fish floating on the surface of water portends extreme disappointments, inability to handle issues in your life, or being upset about not being able to control the situation you are in. As such, being able to bring the fish back to life points to your resilience and refusal to allow setbacks to bring you down. You still have a lot of fight left in you and this dream vision assures you that you will overcome whatever obstacle may come your way.

Fish and shrimp together in water

I saw fishes and shrimps in the same body of water.

Seeing both fishes and shrimps in the same body of water points to a possible loss of wealth or material possessions in the future. You may find yourself in debt and with no other option than to sell some or all of your own possessions to make up for it. There is also a possibility that you could be robbed sometime in the near future.

Giving water to fish in a lake

I was on a very peaceful hill with a lake and a white puffy dog. There were two silverfish in the pond, they swam to shore close to my feet. I had a bottle of water that I poured into the lake and the fish came to drink from the water stream. They gracefully swam in circles coming out to drink from this never-ending water. One of them swam out of the lake exposing almost half of his body. I woke up. Thanks!!!

A silverfish on its own is often considered a symbol of matrimony or a harmonious relationship. In this vision, however, there were two fish that you cared for but did not catch. Giving the fish water is symbolically connected with the idea of nurturing relationships with others by passing on the good values that you obtained as you grew up, qualities such as patience, understanding, modesty, and kindness. Caring for both fish, then, suggests that you are sharing your gifts with others who in turn can share them with their children and families.

Thawed salmon with fish jumping out

In the dream, a side of salmon is thawing, once thawed, 2 live fish jumped out, husband caught one and flushed down the toilet. Last night salmon, once again thawed and now a live frog jumped out, my husband locked the bathroom door where the frog jumped into, creepy.

Dreaming about thawing fish, potentially with the intention to eat it, is a symbol that represents the difficulties you are currently experiencing. These could include financial troubles or issues within your interpersonal relations with co-workers, family members, or friends. This is followed by the image of two fish jumping out and being caught by your husband, which represents grabbing onto some briefly available but highly profitable opportunity, which could turn your situation completely around. Your effort and time spent on this once-in-a-lifetime chance are likely worth it, but the frog at the end of the vision suggests that chasing after it could cause you to pay less attention to other areas of your life, such as your health, which could suffer during this time.

Blue fish in the shower attacking

I was in the bathroom and poured water into the tub. When I looked back, I saw the most beautiful blue fish, when I went to examine it there were more than one... One on top of another, and the one at the top was trying to get out, so I tried to push it back... Then it jumped out and I ran to the door and before I could close the door... it was trying to attack me!

Pouring water in the bathtub in your dream means you have been hankering for some rest and relaxation. You may be under a lot of stress and your mind is muddled by concerns at work and at home. Hence, the blue fish trying to attack you represents emotional turbulence such as anger and frustration. These negative energies that are growing out of your overworked mind and body could end up damaging your health and well-being. Perhaps you need to take a step back and have a bit of time to pamper yourself.

A black fish swimming in the air

As I was waking up this morning I saw a large black fish with a bold orange stripe on the base of the tail swimming in the air in front of me.

A large black fish swimming in the air in your dream could be considered an especially negative omen. This sign represents a bout of bad luck clouding your life in the near future. While this should pass in the end, it would probably have long-term ramifications on your life and your relationships with those closest to you.

A group of black or shadowy fishes

I was about to cross the river which was within city limits. I saw a small group of black-color fishes and shadows of black fish in the dream. Please suggests to me what it is.

Both trying to cross a river and blackfish in this dream allude to your desire to break free of the daily grind and test your limits. The black-colored fish in this vision serves as a warning of both getting in trouble and pleasure if you decide to follow this path. The shadows could also suggest regretting the things you are about to embark on because of their inappropriateness in the eyes of others.

Spawning salmon

I had a dream of salmon spawning in a fast but clear river. Can you help tell me with what it means?

To see salmon spawning in the dream world suggests upcoming events of sexual nature. You may become a witness to an inappropriate sexual conduct either by accidentally barging into an intimate encounter or seeing graphic images and videos. The fast and clear water alludes to the clarity you gain due to this discovery. Perhaps you have long-held suspicions and seeing actual proof explains all the weird behavior you have observed from the parties involved. On the other hand, the spawning can also be interpreted as a happy anticipation of a new addition to the family. A loved one who have been wanting a baby may finally be expecting.

Purple caviar in a plastic bag

I saw my mom holding a clear plastic bag containing purple caviar.

Caviar in dreams represents a taste for luxury. Likewise, the color purple has often been attributed to wealth and royalty. Perhaps you look at your mother as someone who has expensive taste, yet does not have the financial capability to sustain a luxurious lifestyle. This tendency to live beyond her means may be worrying you or perhaps causing some conflict between the two of you. Maybe she likes to gamble and you are forced to bail her out because of her excessive spending.

Hiding under dead fish in a field

I was running next by and hide in a field filled with dead fish, lots of them, quite big and white. I was with someone else. When our pursuer came, we hide under the fish.

To dream about finding yourself hiding in a field reflects your latent desire to break free from a bad situation. You may be under certain negative influences in real life that you wish to escape. This could be related to some lifestyle choices, considering that hiding under dead fish is a symbol of possible disease. For example, your family may make poor diet choices or peers may be pressuring you to try drugs or cigarettes. You may have to put your foot down and outright refuse to participate in these activities or stop making these bad choices any longer if you hope to turn the situation around.

A half-dead fish attacking

I dreamt of half-dead dark fish, I am on a shore and holding it on a plate, then suddenly it jumps on me and attacking me in the water.

This vision suggests you are about to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire. Dead fish tend to be associated with disappointment and disillusionment which is caused by a lack of control over your fate. This is followed by the image of said fish suddenly becoming more lively and attacking you, a symbol that predicts being attacked or pushed around by those higher in rank than you. Until you can get out from under the thumb of those in power, you would not find happiness or peace of mind.

Cutting a white fish with a knife

I have seen as if I cut good alive white fish into slices, the knife was not sharp enough while I wonder if fish feels pain or not.

A white fish in the dream world usually alludes to winter or snow, and this symbol often appears when the winter season is just around the corner. However, white fish can also refer to spirituality and religion, so cutting the white fish while it is still alive could mean that you are starting to question your beliefs. You want to dissect the foundations of your religion perhaps due to a significant event that took place in the waking world. This event may have altered your perspective or at the very least opened you up to other possibilities that may not have crossed your mind before.

Being eaten by a catfish

A catfish was attached to my waist and was trying to eat me. I have had this same dream twice.

Catfish can represent wealth or deception in a dream, sometimes both, while your waist alludes to obsession with appearances. You could be excessively focused on superficial things and ambitions. This facade of success and perfection may end up consuming your life and turning you into a shallow and greedy version of yourself. It is a recurring dream perhaps due to your increasing preoccupation with projecting this idealized version of who you are onto others, sometimes to your detriment.

Cutting Margate fish

I saw myself cutting so many margate fish.

Cutting fish in a dream symbolically predicts taking part in fun and interesting activities. You would feel a boost in creativity and energy that would come from a little change to your usual daily routine. The multitude of fish suggests these new activities would lead to even better opportunities and give you a chance to do even more exciting things in the future.

Fried fish turning into a live shrimp

I was offered fried fish by parents but it ended up being a live large pink shrimp.

Dreaming about being offered fried fish portends that you are about to receive a certain piece of news which could actually bewilder you. Since it was your parents who offered you the meal, it could be a possible indication that the tidings which you get could be related to some major decisions made by your parents. The notion of the fish turning into a large pink shrimp could be indicative of a loss of wealth or material property. Perhaps you have been anticipating financial help from your folks but would be surprised to find out that you would not be getting the assistance you expected to receive.

Goldfish in a plastic cup

I had a dream I was visiting someone and they had goldfish in a carryout container. When I went to leave to go find my boyfriend I picked up a clear plastic cup and spit the two goldfish into it. At first I thought one had died but it didn't. I guess it was getting used to the water because after a few seconds it floated to the top and began swimming with the other goldfish.

Dreaming of goldfish is generally an auspicious symbol for wealth and success. The end result is fortune or recognition, but essentially goldfish refers to the ideas and insights that could lead to success. As such, spitting the goldfish into a plastic cup filled with water alludes to your efforts at crafting and implementing your plans for achieving the kind of life you want to lead. Alternatively, you may have an innovative idea or insight that could propel you to the next level or next chapter of your journey.

Salting and frying fish

In my dream, I saw myself holding plenty of fish in a basket and washing them under a flowing tap. After, I add a little salt to it but the salt was too much, so I add up water to it. As I was about to put the fish in a the oil on fire, I notice someone has already putting some fish in the oil and next thing I saw myself doing is turning the fish in the oil.

Cooking or frying fish is usually a negatively-charged sign in the dream world. This dream vision can indicate big problems and stressful situations. However, combining plenty of fish with salt and oil carries a more positive interpretation. Cooking fish is sometimes associated with new ideas and insights, especially when combined with scenarios of catching them. As such, adding oil and salt into the fish reveals your wish for your ideas and plans to go smoothly. Perhaps you are looking forward to following through with your plans as well as working on self-improvement.

Holding conjoined fish

Male, age 33, Caucasian, NJ. America. I don't remember catching the fish. I remember holding a sunfish or bluegill in my hands on a nice day. Upon inspection, it was a complete conjoined fish. The fish were happy. I couldn't separate them, but I could feel them. I was thinking about my children and what type of distance their mother has been creating.

Fish in dreams generally alludes to the thoughts and insights in your head. The conjoined appearance of the fish may be a reference to your tangled thoughts and conflicted feelings about a certain issue. Or perhaps you are trying to reconcile two opposing ideas in order to arrive at an amicable decision when it comes to family matters. You may have a difficult decision to make in the coming days or weeks. Alternatively, it can mean pregnancy, especially for women dreamers. Since it is a conjoined fish, perhaps there could be a woman in your life with twins on the way.

Small fish biting feet

Somebody throwing small biting fish at my feet.

A small fish in a dream signifies fears, insecurities and uncertainties.This means someone whom you do not consider a threat and merely a small annoyance could end up giving you a big problem. This individual or personality may keep questioning your abilities and leadership skills. Alternatively, this may also reveal your own reservations about your capabilities. This could be hindering your professional and personal growth. Your rivals and enemies may use this weakness to further their own agenda and snatch opportunities from under your feet.

Swimming in a pool with fish

I saw I was thrown in a swimming pool by an unknown person and I was swimming in the pool. But I didn't like swimming because a lot of fish were swimming in the pool and I got out of the pool and a lot of fish were attached to my body.

A swimming pool in the dream world typically alludes to the notion of falling in love. You may find yourself head over heels in love with someone in reality. The intensity of your feelings could overwhelm you to the point of neglecting your other duties and responsibilities. In that sense, the fishes latching on to your body as you got out of the pool represent the negative consequences of your actions which you must deal with even after the passion has run out.

Fishing and catching an alligator

I went fishing in a river. There I caught one alligator.

To dream of fishing in a river means you are trying to deal with your personal issues. As such, catching an alligator refers to uncovering your dark side. You may find yourself confronting the more unsavory aspects of your character in an attempt to resolve your issues and become a better individual. It may be a painful process to acknowledge your insecurities, weaknesses and all the ugly parts in order to ultimately be more self-aware. But this renewed self-confidence would then allow you to work on self-improvement, for your own growth.

Fish in a box

Few fishes in the box and one by itself, put that one standing on a wall.

Separating one fish from the rest contained in a box in this dream could mean that you feel like you are growing apart from other people. You, yourself or others can see that you are different and so you do not believe that you belong in the group. Since you mentioned there were few fishes inside the box, it could mean the people you consider yourself to be different from are your close social circle and not a crowd in general.

Catching fish and a turtle from a well

I was trying to fetch water from a well in my dream for bathing and suddenly I caught a fish, a tilapia fish, in that dream it appears as if the fish was not big enough, so I gave it to someone else and I catch another one from the well. In the process of trying to catch another one I caught a very big turtle from the well, and I was doing everything possible to keep it from escaping. In fact, the turtle tried to escape, I caught it again and was preparing a place to keep it before I woke up.

Dreaming about catching a fish in a well could mean that you may soon face a possibility of relocation or changing place of residency due to unexpected demands or circumstances, while dreaming about catching a turtle could mean that you are struggling with uncertainties over your current romantic relationship. This could be due to your love life being exposed to emotional stress or dilemmas that can endanger your bond or you could be apprehensive regarding your current status in life. Either way, this dream shows that you are in an unstable place and that your life can potentially become even more problematic unless you address these issues.

A sardine under the skin

I dreamt I was looking down at my leg and saw some hair but when I started to investigate it I realized it was the tail of a tiny fish. I pulled out from under my skin a tiny silver dead sardine. I wanted to record its length so I got a ruler and it was approx 0.5cm long. I was more interested in the research side and was saying how fish oils obviously make up part of the skin. Female.

For women, hair on the legs is associated with power within her relationships. If you are currently dating someone, you may find that he listens to your opinions more or that you have more confidence in asserting yourself. Alternatively, if you are single, it may be a sign that you would find a man who is more interested in an equal partnership. This is closely tied to the sardine you pulled out from under your skin. Silvery fish is associated with engagement and marriage, so your suitor may find your new confidence very sexy. However, you cannot fully rely on your own opinions to make the relationship work. Measuring the small fish may reveal a need to use your power not to control your partner but to make your ideas and experiences mutually beneficial.

Fishing with boyfriend and late husband

I was dreaming that the guy I'm currently dating and I were on the river bank and he was casting in a line and catching a big fish. Every cast, caught a big fish. We were so excited. Oddly, my deceased husband was also there. Just kind of watching. The guy caught 3 fishes, I asked if he could cast out the line and let my husband reel one in, because I don't think he ever had the experience of catching a fish that big. When he looked at my husband, he kinda shook his head "No" and then I woke up.

Catching big fish symbolizes an important life event. Most times this means it will have a positive effect on your life and the lives of people close to you. Fishing also conveys positive interpretations relating to triumph over adversity or tough situations. While this may be a cause for celebration, the presence of your deceased husband is a type of warning. Usually it means you need to improve your social skills. Shaking his head also suggests disapproval. It is possible he is telling you not to become arrogant or gloat about your blessings or accomplishment. Other people could become jealous and start resenting you.

A Betta fish in rainwater

I dreamed I was outside walking around the yard. There was a large pool of water from the rain in the yard. My husband and I were walking, seemed to be tadpoles. Then a black Betta (fancy long fins) fish jumped up, out of water, I was surprised to see a fish in the rainwater. The water was several feet deep, like a big rainstorm left it. Just one fish.

Walking through a yard or garden usually means you are a careful, fastidious individual who plans meticulously for success. Despite your best efforts, however, you have yet to answer some important questions that have plagued you for some time. The image of the black fighting fish suggests your troubles are related to rain or took place during a rainy period of time. This is also supported by your feeling that the rainstorm left the pool of water. Perhaps some self-reflection or conversations with others who know more about the situation would yield the answers you seek.
