Last night I dreamt that I was swimming in the ocean but being annoyed by clingy fish. When I emerged from the sea there were many dead sharks washed ashore.

The dream was moderately coherent, with a sequence of events that followed a loose narrative from swimming to emerging onto the beach.

Swimming with Clingy Fish and Washed Ashore Sharks

The dream had an unsettling emotional tone due to the annoyance of the clingy fish and the ominous sight of dead sharks.

The dream was moderately intense, especially when encountering the clingy fish and seeing the sharks on the shore.

While swimming in the ocean felt somewhat realistic, the presence of clingy fish and dead sharks reduced its overall realism.

The dream was quite vivid, with clear images of the ocean, fish, and washed ashore sharks.

Candy, your dream of swimming in the ocean suggests a journey through emotions and the subconscious. Water often symbolizes the emotional state, and swimming in the vast ocean indicates your engagement with deep emotions and possibly navigating through a period of emotional exploration or transformation. The ocean's vastness can also represent the enormity of life's challenges and the depth of feelings you might be experiencing, especially considering your status as widowed, which may have brought profound changes and emotional currents into your life.

  The presence of clingy fish in your dream adds an interesting layer to this emotional journey. Fish in dreams can symbolize ideas, insights, or emotions that are just below the surface of consciousness. The clinginess of these fish suggests that you might be feeling overwhelmed by certain emotions or thoughts that are persistently occupying your mind. This annoyance might reflect a sense of being unable to shake off certain feelings or memories that are sticking to you, much like how the fish clung to you. It could be a representation of unresolved issues or emotions related to your past relationship or current life circumstances.

  Emerging from the sea and encountering dead sharks washed ashore presents a stark and powerful image. Sharks can often symbolize fears, threats, or challenges. Finding them dead could indicate that you are coming to terms with certain fears or have overcome significant challenges in your life.

Dream About Swimming With Clingy Fish

Last night I dreamt that I was at a sort of Kenyan/African resort... It was beautiful. There were two divisions, both had huge "lakes" filled with "lion fish" that were very unusual looking and slithered out and wanted to lay on my back. It made me feel weird. Then, I walked into the lodge and in reception was a glass floor, looking down onto a preserved mammoth. It made me feel sad. My ex boss (a guesthouse owner) walked past and asked me to start working immediately. I felt unprepared. My desk was haphazard and disorganized.

Dream About African Resort With Lion Fish

I was trying to save a fish. I remember that I needed to change its water so I tried to and when I poured the new water in it was like it had marker bits that made the water this dark purple color so I tried to rescue the fish with my bare hands by getting it out of the water I was able to pick it up after a few tries and held it in my hands it wasn’t moving but I could see it trying to breathe. It was dyed purple slightly so immediately I was trying to take it to the sink to get the fish some clean water so it can breathe then when I put water on it i noticed it was working to rinse the purple dye off and the fish has its moth opening back and forth trying to breathe and I remember being able to feel its heartbeat as I was trying to hold it in my hands and run water over top of him then I woke up

The dream had a somewhat coherent sequence of trying to save the fish but was interrupted by surreal moments.

Saving the Purple Fish

The dream was filled with urgency and concern as I desperately tried to save the fish.

The intensity was high as I felt the fish's heartbeat and its struggle to breathe.

While the act of saving a fish felt real, the water turning dark purple added a surreal element.

The dream was moderately vivid, with clear details of the purple water and the fish's heartbeat.

Kimberly, your dream of trying to save a fish is deeply symbolic and offers a multitude of layers to explore. The act of attempting to save a fish can be seen as a metaphor for trying to preserve or rescue a part of yourself or an aspect of your life that feels out of its natural environment or is struggling to survive. Fish are often associated with emotions and the unconscious, swimming in the waters of our subconscious mind. The need to change the fish's water suggests a desire or need for a change in your emotional or psychological environment, perhaps indicating that the current circumstances are not conducive to your well-being.

  The dark purple color of the water you poured in is significant as well. Purple is a color often associated with transformation, spirituality, and mystery. However, in the context of your dream, the dark purple water might indicate confusion or a clouded emotional state, suggesting that something you thought would be beneficial might have unforeseen complications. It can also symbolize a blending of emotions that feel overwhelming or difficult to navigate. This could relate to a situation in your life where your intentions were good, but the outcome was not as expected, requiring you to act quickly to rectify it.

  As you cradled the fish in your hands, trying to help it breathe, this intimate connection underscores a deep empathy and responsibility you feel towards something vulnerable, perhaps a relationship or a personal project that is struggling to flourish.

Dream About Dirty Bedroom And Awkward Situations

At first I was inside of a childhood favorite pet store called bayou pets but it seemed to be all marine animals this time. Only fish this time. Some were out. I have to push some back in. My daughter was with me. We split up she was looking around without me. Eventually I wasn’t in long and the owner came and found us after we were back together looking together and told us they were closing so we had to leave. Then it changed to me living in Italy with both my ex and my current boyfriend my daughter was a younger toddler. I was in a bed and she was acting up I was holding her she was crying being fussy and I was trying to get control of her she was out of control when at first my current boyfriend comes in not acting himself acting crazy loud and mean basically saying he thinks we should break up but I was more worried about asking him if he was ok why was he in has he taken drugs was he ok because of how he was acting. Then he left. Then it went to my ex who was acting crazy saying basically the same thing he was sweating and being scary and saying the same but we are not together and I was asking him what he was in like drug wise but I was overwhelmed by him and my daughter but I was trying to keep it together and not freak out and fight and keep my daughter and myself safe he then said have you never heard of kolonapin? They are safe. But I knew there was no way it was a safe drug they were on then I woke up just breathing heavy and just full of anxiety and cannot go back to sleep and it is 3am.

The dream had a somewhat coherent narrative, shifting from a pet store to Italy, though the transitions and events were disjointed.

Chaos in Italy with Loved Ones

The dream was filled with anxiety and concern as I navigated chaotic situations with my boyfriend, ex, and daughter.

The emotional intensity was high due to the erratic behavior of my boyfriend and ex, coupled with the stress of managing my daughter.

While the dream felt somewhat grounded with familiar places and people, the bizarre behavior of my loved ones made it feel unreal.

The details of the pet store and the intense interactions in Italy were quite clear, making the dream feel vivid.

Haylie, your dream begins in a nostalgic setting, a childhood pet store transformed into a space filled with marine life. This setting could symbolize a journey back to simpler times, perhaps a longing for a place where everything felt safe and familiar. The act of pushing the fish back into the water might suggest a need to restore balance or manage situations that feel out of place in your current life. Your daughter’s presence in the dream indicates the importance of your role as a mother and perhaps reflects your protective instincts.

  The transition from the pet store to living in Italy introduces a complex mix of past and present relationships. Italy, a country known for its rich history and beauty, may represent a desire for fulfillment or a more enriched life experience. Sharing this space with both your ex and current boyfriend could point to unresolved feelings or conflicts between past and present dynamics in your relationships. Your daughter being a younger toddler in this scene might suggest a need to revisit and nurture some aspect of your maternal role or personal growth from that period.

  The behavior of both your current boyfriend and ex, acting erratically and suggesting a breakup, introduces a heightened sense of anxiety and chaos. Their unusual behavior may reflect underlying fears or worries about the stability of your current relationship, as well as lingering emotions from past connections. Your concern for their well-being, asking if they are okay or on drugs, indicates a deep-rooted care and desire for understanding, even in moments of distress.

  The mention of 'kolonapin' in your dream is a significant detail.

Dream About Eating Salmon In Japan

I walk into the elementary school building and my moms friend Sam is there and she just got a job and they are celebrating her, then she greets me, then I walk around the halls and find a ball pit I slide down the slides and go back to looking around the building, then I walk down to the blue hall where my second grade class was but there were those cloth thingys that they had over lights but it had fish print on them and it was like a deep blue and I took a test then went down the hallway to the bathroom, went down the next hall and I can’t remember anything else after

The dream had a moderately coherent flow, moving logically from one scene to another but ending abruptly.

Elementary School Adventure

The dream had a generally positive and celebratory atmosphere, especially with Sam's new job celebration.

The dream's intensity was moderate, with moments of excitement like sliding into the ball pit.

Though set in a familiar school environment, the presence of a ball pit and fish print lights made it feel somewhat surreal.

The dream was quite vivid, particularly the details of the fish print and the deep blue hallway.

Kendall, stepping into the elementary school building in your dream represents a journey back to a formative time in your life, a period where foundational experiences shape who you are today. Seeing your mom's friend Sam getting a job and being celebrated could symbolize the influence of adult figures in your life and your awareness of the transitions and achievements that occur in adulthood. Sam's presence may also suggest the blending of familial connections and personal aspirations, indicating that you might be navigating what it means to grow up and take on new roles.

  As you walk around the halls and find the ball pit, this element of playfulness and childhood nostalgia could reflect a desire to reconnect with simpler, more carefree times. Sliding down the slides adds a sense of freedom and joy, possibly highlighting your need to balance responsibility with fun, especially as you grow older and face more complex situations. This scene suggests a longing to retain some aspects of childhood innocence and joy in your current life.

  Walking down the blue hall where your second-grade class was, adorned with fish-printed cloths covering the lights, suggests a blend of memory and imagination. The deep blue color, often associated with calm and depth, might represent a subconscious exploration of your early learning experiences and how they have shaped your current identity. The fish motif could symbolize a sense of fluidity and adaptability, qualities that may be significant to you as you navigate through the currents of adolescence.

Dream About Elementary School Adventure

I dreamt that I was going through an unknown (to me) part of a city or town, it was cold and bleak weather and I came upon an old apartment building. It was a bit run down and shabby, but had once been grand. The ground floor was a big foyer, also once grand but now dark and neglected, so I didn't go further inside. 
Outside, the gardens were neglected and overgrown, rocks had slid in spots making it a bit precarious. There was a large pond in front of the building with dark plants and fish in it, and the children in the apartments could play in it, but they didn't much anymore. When I came upon it, just one small toddler was in it, standing still and holding out her hands to all the fish, they were gently nibbling at her hands. They not hurting her at all, but I was alarmed as she was small and the fish were large, and they scared me because they were hard to see clearly, just large dark shapes in the water. I think I called someone or talked to the girl, and she left. 

I looked in the pond and saw there was a beautiful, ancient necklace and some matching items. Everyone knew they were there but no longer cared. I fished them out and began to put them on, as they were beautiful to me, and someone told me that they would bestow power upon the wearer, but slowly over time, the power woud build. They were of a simple design, in a slightly-tarnished silver, the necklace was a little tighter than I would normally be comfortable with, but I was pleased about the power, and decided they were mine now.
I wore them to a town fair and, feeling emboldened, volunteered to staff the Grand Theft Auto game stall. I was in my element with the power there and enjoying myself hugely, talking to all the people who loved the game too, mostly kids and younger folk. Then I noticed a female police sergeant, about my age, glaring at the video screen behind me, which was playing the game reel. I approached her to talk about it, and she was dismissive of the game (being that its a crime game I supposed) and of me as someone old and foolish who didn't know what I was volunteering to represent here. I told her that actually, I was high-level player of the game. She sneered at me and said I was just a financial supporter of the game then, dismissing me again as a fool who had been duped. I told her she really ought to try it before dismissing it and she angrily stomped off. I was a little surprised, but undisturbed, by her attitude. I was happy with the choices I had made.

The dream had a somewhat coherent storyline, transitioning from exploration to empowerment at the fair.

The Enchanted Necklace and the Game Stall

The dream had a mix of curiosity and unease as I explored the neglected building and pond, but ended with confidence and satisfaction at the fair.

The dream had a moderate intensity, with moments of alarm at the pond and satisfaction at the fair.

While the setting of the city was plausible, the mystical elements like the ancient necklace providing power were less realistic.

Details like the tarnished silver necklace and the dark shapes of the fish were clear and vivid.

Angie, your dream begins in an unfamiliar part of a city or town, shrouded in cold and bleak weather, setting the scene for an exploration of the unknown or perhaps a part of yourself that feels neglected or hidden. The old apartment building, once grand but now run down, symbolizes past experiences or aspects of your life that were once significant but have since lost their luster. The dark and neglected foyer suggests feelings of being stuck or reluctance to delve deeper into these past experiences, perhaps due to an underlying fear or apprehension.

  The neglected gardens and overgrown areas outside the building amplify this theme of neglect and possible disarray in certain areas of your life. The precarious rocks could symbolize obstacles or risks that you perceive in revisiting these past experiences. The large pond, with its dark plants and fish, represents a deep emotional reservoir that is intimidating due to its obscurity. The presence of the toddler in the pond, unafraid and reaching out to the fish, signifies innocence and a willingness to engage with the unknown, a contrast to your own fear of the large, unclear shapes in the water.

  The discovery of the ancient necklace and matching items in the pond suggests a realization of latent potential or hidden strengths within yourself that others have overlooked or dismissed. The notion that these items bestow power over time indicates a growing self-awareness and confidence that is developing gradually. The necklace, slightly tighter than comfortable, might reflect your hesitancy or discomfort with embracing this newfound power or identity, yet your decision to claim them as your own speaks to a readiness to embrace change.

  Volunteering at the town fair, emboldened by the newfound power from the necklace, illustrates a desire to express yourself and engage with others, particularly in a domain where you feel competent and passionate. The interaction with the female police sergeant, who dismisses the game and your involvement, mirrors a confrontation with societal judgments or self-doubt about your pursuits and interests. Your calm response and contentment with your choices, despite her disapproval, highlight a growing resilience and a solidified belief in your own path, suggesting that you are increasingly comfortable with who you are and the decisions you make.

Dream About Neglected Buildings And Hidden Powers

For some reason, there was a rat that I was going to microwave. I don't know who was going to eat it. I thought it was dead. I turned on the microwave. It began squirming furiously. For a few seconds, I was at a loss. Then I stopped the microwave and took out the rat, and I put it in some water. It was a little stream or creek. The rat floated down to where there were a bunch of plastic fishes, but they were alive. They were taking care of the rat. I went up to them, and I motioned for the rat to come with me. It did. It looked cute rather than rat-like.

The dream followed an unusual but somewhat coherent sequence of events, from microwaving to the rescue.

The Microwaved Rat Rescue

The dream had a mix of confusion and relief, especially when the rat looked cute instead of rat-like.

The intensity peaked when the rat started squirming in the microwave.

The dream was quite surreal, especially with the plastic fishes that were alive, giving it a low realism.

The details of the rat and the plastic fishes were clear, adding to the dream's vividness.

Eilis, your dream appears to be deeply intertwined with past experiences and emotions related to caring for pets. The rat, initially thought to be dead, might symbolize past instances where neglect or harm has occurred, echoing your personal history with pets. This could reflect feelings of guilt or regret that linger beneath the surface, prompting you to unconsciously revisit these themes in your dreams.

  The act of placing the rat in the microwave and its subsequent struggle speaks to a moment of crisis or realization, where you recognize the impact of your actions or inactions. It's a powerful symbol of your awareness and the inner conflict between past behaviors and your current values or intentions. Removing the rat from the microwave represents a pivotal shift—a conscious choice to amend past actions, to nurture and protect rather than harm.

  The stream, with its shaded, high slopes and jagged rocks, symbolizes a challenging emotional landscape. This environment suggests that while you seek healing and transformation, the path isn't without its difficulties. The rapid flow of the stream may indicate a sense of being overwhelmed or swept along by strong emotions, yet the presence of the caring, plastic-like fish suggests support and a community that aids in healing.

  Your interaction with the rat at the end, where it becomes endearing and less rat-like, signifies a reconciliation with these past experiences. It suggests a transformation in how you perceive and relate to these memories and perhaps a newfound desire to embrace compassion and care. This change could be indicative of personal growth and a more profound understanding of your own emotional depth.

Dream About A Rat In The Microwave

I was with some friends at a river. They were fishing using fishing poles. I decided to walk into the river and started catching fish with my bare hands. Every fish I caught, I placed them in a bucket next to a friend on the riverbank. Then I would go back out in the water. I also saw some dead fish on the ground, but I just kept going back out to Cath more fish.

Dream Of Catching Fish With Bare Hands

The dream began at the end and I was seeing an arcade game. I can't remember what it was, but it was an arcade game and there was a genie, there was a ghostly, you know, scary smiling face, but it popped out of thin air and disappeared. And I saw what appeared to be a ramp in an area. There was, I can't remember exactly what it was, the numbers 64 and 63 were somewhere out there, out there in the doorway of the arcade place. And there were participants inside the arcade. It was very expansive,something like you know, time machine, Doctor Who, expansive space. So It had the game, it was like there was a bunch of squares alongside the arcade machines, like, you know, 1980s synth American style arcade machines. And I had to telepathically, well, I don't know how, but I had to send messages to people, men and women, one of them looked like Salvador Dali, I don't know why. And to stand in certain white squares in the purple, neon green arcade. Sometimes the squares light red and they die, and the lights green they live , and it's not all synchronized. I can't remember how the timing works, but it just pops up. One of the survivors is a ginger, short haired to the throat, maybe shoulders, short haired girly, with glasses, can't remember the eyes, beautiful face, light blue jeans, tight jeans, can't remember exactly what she wore for her upper body, but it was something like, something that matches her jeans. She got a green light on her square, on her white square, and after she survived, she went through the arcade and tried to find other survivors, and she found others, can't remember much about them, and then I had some weird free cam point of view, and I looked outside, it was some sort of mall, urban, isolated, you know, it's some weird white tiles, like some sort of vr knock off place, that's what I remember, probably wasn't like that, the group existed and they have a bunch of speculation, like, what's going on, is it happening to the entire world, I can't remember much, but there's a theory about tectonic plates, and earthquakes, and tsunams , again, that's fuzzy, can't remember if that's the actual thing, but what I remember specifically, is a guy saying this, um, I have a relative or a friend old or middle aged, and he says the earth is connected to the continent, or something like that, and it's fuzzy, and then two characters, aquatic creatures ethier star fish or actual fish pop up, and I have the very distinct intuitive feeling that these guys came from an earlier part of the dream, before all of this, that I can't remember, blacked out, one of the group members decides to ram the two characters  he turns into some sort of liquid maybe water , I don't know ,into a metal pole a light pole, and that's where I wake up,

The coherence was average, with a fragmented storyline that involved random appearances of characters and dream-like logic.

Arcade Survival and Mysterious Creatures

The dream had a thrilling and suspenseful emotional tone, with moments of fear and intrigue, especially when the mysterious smiling face appeared and disappeared.

The intensity was high, with the survival game and the sudden appearance of aquatic creatures adding to the overall tension.

The dream's realism was low, characterized by surreal elements like telepathic communication and arcade games with life-or-death stakes.

The dream was moderately vivid, with clear images of the neon-colored arcade and the distinct appearance of a girl in light blue jeans.

Pangloss, your dream intricately weaves a narrative that speaks to the complexities and nuances of your inner world, inviting a deeper exploration of its rich symbolism. The arcade game serves as a portal to your subconscious, where the presence of a genie and a ghostly face represent the duality of wish fulfillment and fear. This duality may mirror the internal conflicts you face, suggesting a struggle between desire and apprehension in your waking life.

  The numbers 64 and 63 at the doorway of the arcade hint at a sequential progression or a need for balance. These numbers may symbolize a transition or a step in a larger process, potentially reflecting a phase of growth or change you are undergoing. The arcade itself, with its time-machine-like expansiveness, embodies a realm of possibilities, echoing a desire to transcend time and explore new dimensions of self-awareness.

  Your telepathic communication with participants, including a figure reminiscent of Salvador Dali, highlights an interplay between logic and creativity. Dali's presence may signify an invitation to embrace the surreal aspects of your identity, urging you to tap into your imaginative potential and challenge conventional boundaries. The red and green lights on the squares symbolize the unpredictable nature of choices and their outcomes, emphasizing the need for adaptability and quick decision-making.

  The ginger-haired girl, a survivor in the dream, represents resilience and hope. Her journey through the arcade to find others signifies your quest for connection and understanding amid chaos. Her survival and search for others suggest a deep-rooted belief in the power of community and solidarity, even in the face of uncertainty.

  The transition to a mall-like, urban environment with VR-like qualities raises questions about reality and identity. This shift may reflect an exploration of the facade we present to the world versus our true selves, urging you to examine the layers of your identity and the roles you play in different contexts.

  The discussion about tectonic plates and the emergence of aquatic creatures introduce a theme of interconnectedness and transformation. These elements suggest a profound awareness of the forces shaping your life, both internally and externally. The transformation of a character into liquid and the subsequent interaction with a metal pole may symbolize a fluidity of identity and the impact of external forces on your sense of self.

  Your dream is a deeply layered narrative, inviting you to delve into its symbolism and uncover the profound truths it holds about your journey of self-discovery and transformation.

I had a fish tank with fish in then all of a sudden I saw a fish egg. When the fish hatched it was different from all the other fish in my tank, it was strangely large for its age and was quite grotesque in looks. All of a sudden it started to attack and eat one of the beautiful fish in the tank. So I quickly snatched it out of the tank, in fear that it would strike again and threw it onto the hard wooden living room floor. When I looked it had grown even larger which was quite disturbing and was still alive. When I told my dad he grabbed a heavy glass and killed it.
