Fish

A 'Fish' in a dream represents spiritual knowledge. Fish are creatures that live entirely within water -- they are born in it, breathe through it, and navigate it as their natural environment. In the Universal Language of the Mind, water represents conscious life experiences. A fish, then, represents knowledge that lives and moves within the medium of your life experiences -- specifically, spiritual knowledge, because fish have been associated with spiritual wisdom across virtually every tradition and culture throughout human history. Fish exist beneath the surface. You cannot see them from above unless you look beneath the water. This reflects the nature of spiritual knowledge itself -- it exists below the surface of everyday awareness, within the deeper levels of your life experiences. It must be sought. It must be looked for beneath the visible surface. It does not present itself to casual observation. Pay attention to the type, size, and condition of the fish. A large fish represents significant spiritual knowledge. A small fish represents a smaller piece of spiritual insight. Many fish together indicate an abundance of spiritual knowledge available to you. A dead fish suggests spiritual knowledge that you once had access to but have allowed to die through neglect. Are you catching the fish (actively acquiring spiritual knowledge)? Are you watching it swim (observing spiritual truth without grasping it)? Are you eating the fish (integrating spiritual knowledge into your being)? When a fish shows up in your dream, it is reflecting the spiritual knowledge that exists within and around you. Are you actively seeking it, or are you content to stay on the surface? The spiritual knowledge your soul needs for its evolution is swimming within the waters of your daily experiences. Look beneath the surface. Cast your line. The knowledge is there, waiting to be caught.
