Fishing pole

A 'Fishing pole' in a dream represents a mental tool for acquiring spiritual knowledge. A fishing pole is designed for one purpose -- to reach below the surface of the water, attract fish, and bring them up to where you can access them. In the Universal Language of the Mind, this reflects the mental tool or practice you use to reach beneath the surface of your everyday experiences and extract the spiritual knowledge hidden within them. The fishing pole requires skill, patience, and the right bait. You must know where to cast your line (where to direct your attention). You must use the right bait (the right questions, the right practices, the right approach). And you must be patient -- spiritual knowledge does not always bite immediately. Sometimes you must sit with your line in the water, waiting in stillness, before the insight rises to take the hook. Dream interpretation is a fishing pole. Meditation is a fishing pole. Concentration is a fishing pole. Any practice that allows you to reach beneath the surface of your conscious awareness and retrieve deeper knowledge from the subconscious mind is a fishing pole. When a fishing pole shows up in your dream, it is calling for you to actively use your mental tools to seek deeper spiritual knowledge. Do not wait for the knowledge to find you. Cast your line. Direct your attention into the depths of your consciousness with purpose and patience. The spiritual knowledge you need is beneath the surface, swimming in the waters of your own experience. Use the tools you have been given to bring it up into the light.
