Fishing

Hi All,

For the years I am frequented with the dream with the same theme - fishing. I see them about 2-3 times weekly.
From what I read, fishing theme might represent going through trying to figure out or looking/picking through emotions. But I do not think I got right understanding of it, since my psyche seems to bring the same thing up in the dreams again and again. Or may be it's just merely a reflection of inner flow of processes, or perhaps something points out to need of fishing symbolically speaking :) I would appreciate any input or leads on such dream theme.

All these dreams about fishing have the same quality. I am getting ready for fishing (with group of people usually), either I am approaching water, put boat on a water, or about to cast. But I actually do not get to fishing itself ! Something usually happens right before that, someone interferes or when I cast water disappears or morphs into something else, like reflective flooring or surrounding turn into a building or  a room.

Any thoughts on symbolism behind it ?

Thank You.

Hi agni, never sure about sites that interpret dreams but fwiw, here is what was found of two separate people's interpretations; does not address the not fishing aspect, unless it is of course the opposite:

Fishing in a Dream | What does it mean when I dream about fishing?


--- Quote from: 1 ---To dream of fishing means opportunity. Is the line cast in the water or is it tangled up on the shore? If the line is in the water and seems good, then surely good opportunity is present at this time. If the fisher is struggling with the line, or the weather is poor, this may not be the best time to take an opportunity.

--- Quote from: 2 ---To dream of fishing means that you are confronting and bringing your repressed emotions to the surface. To dream that you are fishing with a fishing pole or a fishing net means hard work, stick to it, planning, awareness and that you are always prepared in the natural. It can also represent your dependability, reliability, resourcefulness, your patience, and your ability to see a project or an idea through to the end. To dream of fishing in a river, stream, ocean, or lake with a fishing net that is intact, but when the fishing net is pulled up, the fishing net is torn and all the fish escape means an obstacle or a flaw in a plan that could involve your work. It can also represent greed and your lack of compassion and your willingness to step over or hurt somebody emotionally to get to the place in life that you want to be. To dream that you are fishing in clear water and could see the fish bite means that you will discover or acquire some knowledge that can be used very advantageously. To dream that you are fishing with bait means that you are thinking about the choices that you make. To dream of fishing with worms means profit and success. To dream that you are ice fishing means that you are breaking through a hardened emotional barrier and confronting difficult feelings from your unconscious.

Hi agni,

It seems that the dream is telling you that you need to take care of something before you can actually fish, as the interruptions and disappearing water would indicate.

Do you decide to go fishing or do you just begin in that scenario?

As Voyager pointed out, water can often represent emotions. So perhaps someone or something may be blocking your emotions or stopping you from being able to express yourself?

Hi agni,

I tend to agree with other's comments.  The water could represent your unconscious emotions, which you keep trying to begin to bring to the surface (by fishing), but various obstacles are preventing you from actually beginning to access that information.   The fact that there are usually other people present while you try to fish, and sometimes they actually interfere, makes me wonder if indeed as truth seeker said, are other people blocking you in some way from releasing and expressing these emotions?
