Interpretation 3 — Eric Ackroyd

(1) This may symbolize bringing up contents of the unconscious into consciousness.

(2) Are you the fish being caught in a fisherman’s net? This may mean a promise of ‘salvation5; that there is some energy source working for

your good. (In Western Christendom the font was called the ‘piscina’ - fish-pond; those baptized in it were fishes caught in Christ’s net.)

(3) Are you trying to catch a small round fish? Jung would say this means you have begun to look for your true self.

Interpretation 9 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox

If your dream involves the act of fishing, there is an entirely different interpretation to consider.

The process requires the proper tools, an element of attraction (bait), and the most important ingredient—patience.
