Dreaming about fish is a positive symbol. The exception is only the dream that shows a dead fish or a fish that you dropped from your hand, rod or net.
This last dream announces a disturbed soul, or disappointment. When someone dreams that they are fishing, it may be an omen of some favorable event that will happen to you soon. Furthermore, dreaming about marine fish is an omen of good luck, large fish are associated with gossip and bad comments made about you, while small fish are related to loss or damage. When a pregnant woman has a dream about fish, and it comes out of her body, it is said that it means that she will give birth to a girl.
What does it mean to dream about fish? 8 Dream Interpretations
Many people have contacted me to ask if fish in dreams are related to pregnancy. Dreaming about fish swimming in the sea in ancient folklore represents the perception of your unconscious mind, especially if you saw more than one fish swimming in the ocean.
Catching a fish in your dream symbolizes your awareness and, to a lesser degree, indicates that you are gaining insight into your own (or someone else’s) personality. The fish represented in dreams is an extremely common dream for pregnant women.
This dream also has a prophetic meaning. Apparently, many women claim that when they dream about fishing, someone they know (a friend or relative) ends up pregnant! So this leaves me questioning whether dreaming about fish predicts having a baby in waking life.
The answer is, it could. Many (old) dream books claim that dreaming about fish during pregnancy predicts giving birth to a beautiful girl. If she is pregnant and dreams of seeing black fish, it represents the birth of a strong baby.
If you dream of “fishing” when you are pregnant, it means a smooth and easy birth for a healthy baby. If you see carp in your dream while you are pregnant, it can predict that you will give birth to an intelligent and talented child, possibly a daughter. If you catch a fish in your dream (while pregnant) in real life, this symbolizes giving birth to a child who will achieve great success in life. Dreaming about fish during pregnancy is mainly associated with “positive signs” and has a positive meaning and interpretation. It represents the birth of a strong child.
1.- Dreaming about fish out of water
Fish is one of the most common symbols in dreams. It has both positive and negative interpretation. However, most dreamer fish associations are positive. But what does it mean if you feel uncomfortable while dreaming about fish ?
For example, seeing a fish out of water makes you feel unpleasant and you suddenly feel the need to help the fish get back into the water in order to survive. I know I once had a dream where I felt pressure to help the fish.
Either way, that dream predicts unpleasant situations and problems that appear in your real life. This dream could predict disappointment, especially if you could see dirty or cloudy water along with fish coming out of the water in your dream.
2.- Dreaming about dead fish
If the fish is dead, I am afraid this is a negative sign according to dream folklore. A dead fish in dreams symbolizes problems and illnesses in the future. Seeing a fish out of water has a similar interpretation. You may find yourself in an uncomfortable and unexpected situation in waking life. You may feel uncomfortable in the presence of someone. Your dream probably suggests that you should make some changes.
3.- Dreaming about fish in muddy waters
If you see fish swimming in muddy water in your dream , it represents a challenge for life, depending on the clarity of the water. I always think that the cleaner the water, the more positive the dream. If you saw a fish swimming in clear water, it is a positive sign.
Such a dream represents success and financial gains, especially if you run or run your own business. On a positive note, you will find the next month or two extremely lucky. If you work at a regular job, this dream may indicate obtaining a promotion that will take your career to the next level.
4.- Dreaming that you are fishing in muddy waters
Fishing in muddy water usually represents illness and complex problems that appear in your life. Don’t panic because with a good plan, taking better care of yourself, and making changes, you can overcome anything. There is no such thing as a problem without a solution.
5.- Dreaming about big fish
As I mentioned before, being attacked by a big fish means going through important changes that will “attack” your current point of view, your belief system and open your eyes forever. However, if you just saw a fish in your dream, and it did not harm you in any way, it symbolizes a person who is behind your back in real life.
The person may have been talking about you behind your back if the fish was threatening in any way. In other words, such a dream represents gossip.
Seeing a big fish in your dreams can also mean stress and social anxiety, and also certain obstacles that you will need to overcome soon. As you can see, your dream has a complicated interpretation. But the final result (if the dream is positive) is victory over enemies.
6.- Dreaming about black fish
Sometimes you just have to try different things in life before you find something that makes you happy. Furthermore, there could be a somewhat endless source of problems. If you dream of a black fish , it represents the feeling that you want to find something that makes you happy according to older folklore.
Can it denote that you might be feeling anxious and stressed lately? If you are going through a difficult time in life, your dream may reflect what you feel inside. Now, seeing yourself as a black fish (that is unique and swimming freely indicates a new beginning.
On the other hand, seeing a black fish in dreams predicts rainy weather, so if you are a fan of stormy rainy weather, you will be very happy. On the other hand, it represents the status of your current relationship. If you have a deep and pure relationship with your lover, then black fish is positive. And if he’s not in a relationship, he probably knows someone sincere and special.
7.- Dreaming about goldfish
If you dream of a colorful fish , it denotes great health and the need to take care of yourself (I’m sorry to say). If you catch a colorful fish in your dream, it represents your open mind. The dream could imply that you are an opportunist who is colorful.
This dream implies that, however, you like to take risks because you are aware that sometimes you have to “risk” more. Alternatively, such a dream predicts a great marriage in the future, so be prepared! Some dream books I’ve read indicate that seeing sea fish can represent your creativity and crazy ideas!
8.- Dreaming about fried fish
Eating fish, for example, in a fish and chip shop in a dream , heralds good news coming your way. Cooking white fish indicates that you are in perfect health. However, to maintain good health, you will need to pay more attention to your lifestyle and be more active.
This dream also symbolizes prosperity and luck. However, on a more negative note, it represents obstacles, especially if you choked on the bones in your dream.
Alternatively, eating a fish in your dream in many of my dream books denotes financial gains and a better financial situation. If you observe how they prepare and cook a fish, then you ate it in your dream, it is a good omen.
It could predict wealth and inheritance. Eating or seeing different types of fish in a dream is also a good omen, meaning that your efforts and hard work will result in a positive outcome. You will achieve professional success.
However, many people dream of eating fried fish and sometimes wonder about the meaning. Dreaming about eating fresh fish means that your prayers will finally be answered. Furthermore, it means that everything will go as planned for you and you will be able to enjoy life. Eating smelly or rotten fish, on the other hand, means cheating and experiencing a bad marriage.
Prophetic meaning of dreaming about fish
As I mentioned before, dreaming about fish in certain circumstances predicts pregnancy. According to old dream books, it is not the only thing that seeing “fish eggs” in your dream predicts a new beginning and the need to express potential.
Alternatively, seeing fish eggs in your dream also denotes an amazing idea or a new path that you will take to achieve things in life. But in addition to this, fish are often interpreted as a symbol of personal development, growth and fertility.
Seeing a fish in your dream (as I have already mentioned) can represent conception. And most women dream about fish swimming in the water when they are about to conceive a baby! This is according to ancient folklore.
Have you ever used the term “suspicious” in certain “dodgy” situations? Dreaming about fish can also indicate a warning about possible danger and a “suspicious” suspicious situation that you should avoid. Alternatively, you may be “fishing” for attention, recognition and compliments if you see a fish in your dream.
Eating a fish in your dream symbolizes luck, food, spirituality, beliefs, energy and “feeding” your soul. If you cook fish in your dream, it reveals your hardworking nature and the plans you have been working on recently. If you find that you are putting your heart and soul into something, then it is common for a fish to appear in your dream.
If you are cleaning fish (perhaps a fish tank), this dream denotes your shame in expressing feelings towards other people. Seeing fish moving away from you may mean that you are trying to become a socially active person, but sometimes you are a hidden introvert.
If you are being attacked by a fish in your dream, this may mean that you are feeling overwhelmed by emotions in your real life. If the fish is big, you may experience significant challenges that will change your perspective and “attack” your current belief system.
If you were attacked by a small fish, you will not suffer big changes, but small ones. Dreaming about fish bones reveals old views, thoughts and perceptions.
