Fish
Fish are a staple symbol of wealth, opportunity and conception dreams. Catching a big fish in clear water means your efforts will bear fruit and income follows.
Fish stand for wealth and opportunity, and they appear often as conception dreams. The very picture of drawing something up out of the water means gaining. Read the clarity of the water, the size of the fish, and whether it ended up in your hands or slipped away.
Readings by Situation
Catching a large fish in clear water
The finest of fish dreams. Substantial money or a strong opportunity comes into your hands; as a conception dream it was read as a healthy, bright child. Feeling satisfied afterward makes it better still.
Losing the fish you caught
Something you counted as won slips away. If a contract or promise is pending, do not relax until it is signed — move the closing along.
A whole school of fish swimming past
Several opportunities arriving at once. But grabbing at all of them was read as catching none: pick the largest, surest one and hold on.
Dead fish, or fish in water that has dried up
A sign you are holding onto something whose energy is spent. Rather than pouring more time into what yields nothing, change direction.
Fish dreams read both as conception dreams and as wealth dreams; what separates them is the dreamer's situation. If you are not near a pregnancy, the wealth-and-opportunity reading usually fits.
