The Meaning of Fish in Dreams
What do fish mean in dreams?
In the traditional Chinese view of the dream, dreaming of a fish means fortune. In Chinese, fish (“鱼”) has the same pronunciation with “余”and “裕”，which means richness. So, the dream of a fish is related to fortune and richness. And fish’s meaning in fortune is not only for its pronunciation. From ancient times, the fish has represented wealth in people's minds. Maybe the reason is that the fish caught is the real wealth for primitive people. Additionally, the fish also has the meaning of opportunity.
