I had a dream that I was taking a bath and there were fish in my bath tub (little ones). They were dying because they were saltwater fish and the bath water wasn’t. I couldn’t do anything about it, so I unplugged the drain and they went down the drain because I was putting them out of their misery. Suddenly I realized there was an ocean outside. I could only grab 2 fish. One was a small dark fish and one was a big beautifully colored fish. I held them and ran to the water and tossed them in and they jumped up out of the water and then swam into the sunset. There was a male with me, but I couldn’t see him. He was guiding me or talking to me. I don’t remember what he said or was doing. He was just next to me.
This dream seems to symbolize a sense of being overwhelmed and trapped in a situation that is not suitable or beneficial for you. The bath represents a place of relaxation and cleansing, but the fish dying in it indicate that you are unable to find peace or fulfillment in this current environment. Unplugging the drain and sending the fish down the drain signifies your attempt to alleviate their suffering and remove yourself from this negative situation.
The sudden realization of the ocean outside represents a new opportunity or a larger, more expansive path that awaits you. The two fish you grab symbolize choices or possibilities that are available to you. The small dark fish may represent a safer and more conservative option, while the big beautifully colored fish may represent a more exciting and rewarding but potentially riskier option.
The act of tossing them into the water and watching them swim into the sunset suggests that you are willing to take a leap of faith to embrace these new opportunities. The male figure next to you signifies support or guidance in navigating this journey. Although you can't recall what he was saying or doing, his presence indicates that you have someone or something helping you along this path of change and growth.
