The fish is a very powerful and positive image in many world traditions.

  1. 1. To the Babylonians, Phoenicians, and Assyrians, it was honoured as a symbol of fertility.
  2. 2. In Native American tradition, the fish is a symbol for mystical secrets, for it can swim to the deepest regions of the ocean and explore its hidden knowledge.
  3. 3. In British lore, it was believed that eating fish before lovemaking could enable a couple to conceive a child.
  4. 4. The early Christians used the fish as the symbol for the Christ Consciousness. It was widely believed that this symbol resulted from the Greek acronym for \”Jesus Christ, Son of God.\” But there is also the fact that the coming of Jesus ushered in the Age of Pisces the Fish, which encapsulates the mysticism, love, and happiness to which all world traditions ascribe to the fish.
  5. 5. In Scandinavia, fish was considered an aphrodisiac, and was popularly consumed on Friday, the feast day of Freya, Goddess of Love – and in her honour Friday was a day dedicated to lovemaking.
  6. There are, therefore, many possibilities if you dream of a fish – all good, even if the fish was a greatly feared one like the Shark [a powerful Hawaiian Aumakua].
  7. If there is a possibility of a pregnancy, dreaming of a fish could mean that a child is on the way, and the pregnancy and birth will be uneventful and result in a healthy baby.
  8. If the dreamer is in love but is not yet sure about the beloved’s feelings, dreaming of a fish strongly indicates that the feelings are indeed reciprocated.
  9. Dreaming of catching fish, either with a pole or with a net, indicates success and prosperity ahead.
  10. Seeing fish swimming in a clear pool indicates that a number of secrets about yourself and the world around you are going to suddenly become clearer.” Information Source from MSN Free Dream Dicitonary Astrocenter

    Beautiful puppy Sharon. Too bad we don’t accept puppies or kittens into “Baby Animals” group.

  • Sharon Mau replied

    Mahalo Tenia, no worries, I understand. I suppose if you opened your group to kitties and puppies you would have a flood of images without a doubt.
