What Does Dreaming of a School of Fish Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In the tradition of Ibn Sirin and al-Nabulsi, seeing a school of fish swimming in clear water can indicate plenty, blessing, provision to come, and auspicious gain. The school being large and lively may be interpreted as good news that scattered affairs will come together and turn collectively into abundance.
Psychological View
In modern psychology, a school of fish may symbolize the collective movement of feelings and thoughts accumulating in the subconscious, the desire for belonging and feeling safe within a community, and inner riches not yet fully recognized. The school's harmonious flow can point to the person's need for harmony and unity with those around them.
