Dreaming of fish
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of Catching fish is a good augury, the sea always yields. Eating the fish, particularly cooked, signals modest gain.
Drawn down, it warns of Many small fish all at once predict trivial troubles; a great fish that escapes the line is an opportunity missed.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of Fish rise from the unconscious. A successful catch is making a deep contents conscious.
Drawn down, it warns of Dead fish in the water signal contents that should have been integrated and were not, now polluting the field.
When it appears with another
Fish in company
fish + key
A contents brought up from the depths becomes the tool. Whatever you've been incubating in the unconscious is ready to unlock a real waking situation.
