SOMETHING FISHY IS GOING ON
I often dream of fishbowls full of fish. The water is murky. Some fish are alive and others are dead. I also see a pool of fish where the water is dirty. There are algae on the walls. I walk towards a veterinarian. We get in his car and he comes with me to help the fish. What does this mean? Angelica Palomares, Leongto, Mexico
Analysis: Dreaming of fish may pertain to something slippery, shady or underhanded. In other words, there is reason to delve beneath the surface to see what lies beneath. In this view, the murky water indicates stagnancy: Something is not filtering through. Yet the unclear water may represent the wish not to see or be seen. In that fishbowls often symbolize an intrusion of personal space, there is the sense of being watched. Trying to help fish reveals the wish to take a breather or come up for air, as it were, in a stifling environ.
HE NEEDS FULL DISCLOSURE
I dreamed I was standing naked leaning against the wall while talking about business in my clients’ kitchen. [I am a financial planner, in reality, and frequently travel to clients’ homes for appointments.] My clients were fully dressed and did not seem bothered by my nakedness. When a car pulled into their driveway, they quickly threw me a towel. I said that was a good idea and quickly wrapped the towel around myself. Please decode this dream. Jamie Leonhardt, Sea Girt, NJ
Analysis: This work related dream reveals a certain vulnerability, a vulnerability which may explain your need for full disclosure. It is important for you to be out in the open, above board and exposed. Yet, dreaming of nakedness---of not being covered---is often a trade-off where the wish is to expose, discover or uncover something previously unknown. Necessarily, the throwing in of the towel reveals the need for someone to give up or capitulate. Leaning against a wall indicates the wish for support. In a similar vein, a kitchen symbolizes the need to be nurtured or fed.
