Dreaming of Fish

물고기꿈 mulgogi-kkum

Fish in Korean tradition are results — the thing finally caught after a long, quiet stretch.

The old reading

Mulgogi-kkum is read as gain and harvest. A large fish caught is read as a large result arriving.

The deeper layer

Haemong reads catching versus watching. Holding a fish is read as something already yours. A fish slipping away is read as timing missed, not a loss — the tradition is clear that another comes.

The water's clarity carries over from the water reading. Clear water with fish is the strongest combination in this family of dreams.
