Stella Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I had a nightmare about a fish last night.... Dreamed I was sitting by a lake watching fish moving around (looked like bullies but behaved like trout). Then I realised under the trees there was a big fish..... hovering in the air... It was a vicious, 1 metre long banded kokopu, skinny and a little dessicated, and it could hover above the water. I 'realised' (still in the dream) that it was a hallucination. It attacked with great ferocity and eventually I managed to get it on the ground and smash its skull with a rock.... Then someone came along and I explained I had a hallucination, indicating to the (quite obviously real) dead huge fish on the bank.... it had big scary teeth... Anyone else had a fish nightmare (or dream)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinytawnykitten Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Wow Stella, how vivid. Those dreams when you know it's a dream or hallucination in the dream are the weirdest. I have fish nightmares and they are usually the same theme. Buy a fish from the LFS for say $20, get it home and look at the receipt and realise it was $2000. That sort of thing.

Ira Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I've had dreams of my fish rolling around the house in water filled hamster balls. And my hands turning transparent and I could see they were full of water with guppies swimming in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I sometimes dream about living underwater. A recent dream (non-fish related) was odd but the only bit I can remember is saying to a little girl of about 4 or 5 yrs, dressed in red Christmas outfit with white fur trim) "You realise at this time of year girls are called Christmas tarts?" :roll: :lol: I thien woke up. That one was a bit of a worry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 That's a strange dream Stella. Where you really scared? Not really a nightmare, more a bad dream, but I've had dreams a few times where I'd discover I had all these tanks I didn't know I had, which were filled with fish and I was unable to keep them all maintained! I have heaps of fish dreams. I guess that's because I think about fish a lot when I'm awake too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Then I realised under the trees there was a big fish..... hovering in the air... Weird, I've had two dreams with hovering over-sized fish!! The first was in a huge greenhouse kinda like the winter gardens at the Auckland Domain, but with a stream running thru it and tall patches of bamboo, and there were about 3-4 red finned cigar sharks about 6' long hovering around. The second was at the lfs in whangarei and there was a school of cardinals about 20-30cm long hovering under the racks of tanks in the shop. Maybe we should get a shrink to look into what it means.... :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzoom1 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I would call my dream bad.. but, I dreamt that I had a distant uncle that died and left all his fish equipment to me (including a 10,000 litre tank (YAY)), anyway, the wierd thing was that he only had one huge paradise fish in it :-?

Caryl Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 From the Dream moods dictionary - a site that helps you interpret dreams... Fish To see fish swimming in your dream, signifies insights from your unconscious mind. Thus to catch a fish, represents insights which have been brought to the surface. Alternatively, a fish swimming in your dream may symbolize conception. Some women dream of swimming fish when they get pregnant. The fish is also an ancient symbol of Christianity and Christian beliefs. Consider also the common phrases "like a cold fish", "fish out of water" or something that is "fishy" about a situation. It may also imply a slippery or elusive situation. To dream that you are eating fish, symbolizes your beliefs, spirituality, luck, energy and nourishment. It is food for the soul. To dream of cooking fish, indicates that you are incorporating your new realizations with your spiritual feelings and knowledge. To dream that you are cleaning fish, suggests that you are altering your emotional expression in a way that will be presentable to others. You are censoring yourself and not expressing how you completely feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 i tend to have dreams where something is going wrong with my fishtanks like a leak or something and i have to save the fish but theres nothing i can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whetu Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 i tend to have dreams where something is going wrong with my fishtanks like a leak or something and i have to save the fish but theres nothing i can do This is the kind of dream I have had for years (ever since I was a kid). Either the tank was leaking and he fish were going to die, or I had syphoned the water out thinking there were no fish in there, only do discover their poor little dried up bodies later. I also have dreams where I suddenly remember I have a fish tank after 'forgetting' it for weeks & weeks, then I rush to have a look and the fish are dead or dying either from hunger or nasty dirty water. I only recall one dream where there were fish but not in my tank. I had set a net to catch some snapper then forgotten about it. Weeks later I remembered to check the net and it had caught lots of snapper but some of them were tangled in the net and still alive. The net had grown into their skin and as I tried to untangle them I was pulling bits of flesh off these live fish. It was awful. My sister-in-law recently confided in me that she was worried about my brother because he often had nightmares about fish. When she described them they were just like mine! This is funny because my Bro and I have never discussed our dreams. Now my sis-in-law is worried about the whole family :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 the only fish dream I (Amy) have ever had was when I kept expensive imported goldfish...dreamt of my celestials and moors eyes popping because they spilled out of my tank and I dropped the tank on them - bizarre I could actually feel myself panicking in the dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southerrrngirrl Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I have had MANY fish dreams in the last few years.. most recent was probably a couple of weeks ago. I don't recall exactly what it was about. They are generally disasters like the tank has cracked or smashed or often its in danger as a result of an earthquake. I do recall one where I took my fish out of water and on holiday... I had my Zebra loaches with me on a plane, then realised that, uhhh fish need water so why do I have them with me on a plane to Disneyland!?!?

lmsmith Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I had my first fish dream today - I had a nap in class (accy 111 is REALLY boring!) and I dreamt about cutting my puffer's teeth with nail clippers...I was holding it and a squeezed it too hard, and it popped out of my hand and bounced around the room like flubber. Now I'm terrified about having to cut their teeth (and I don't even have them yet!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave+Amy Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 oh man feel so sorry for you that you're doing accy 111 lol....at least they've changed the course and made it easier before they had a 80% failure rate. Are you getting figure 8?? why do you have to cut their teeth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 my flatmate had a nightmare that the tanks overflowed until they filled up the house, and then the oscars chased her :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 my flatmate had a nightmare that the tanks overflowed until they filled up the house, and then the oscars chased her :lol: Heh, I've had similar nightmares to that, except it wasn't a tank. The shower at the house I grew up in was over the bath and it was closed in by glass sliding doors. I'd have dreams that I couldn't turn the water off, I could turn the tap so it was almost stopped but still pouring a bit. Wouldn't have been a big deal but I couldn't get the doors open and it was slowly filling with water until it got to the top and I drowned! And the first time my wife stayed there, guess what happened? The tap broke so the water wouldn't quite turn off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
