Dream of a small fish swimming in a cup - dream meaning with inherited lore
This may be a scene of possibility held in a small space, or of circumstances that feel confining.
One fish or several small fish swim in circles inside a cup. You peer in, or worry they might not be able to get out.
Korean lore: There aren’t many widely established traditional interpretations of a fish in a small container like a cup. Keeping a fish in a bowl might bring to mind wanting to protect what you have, or feeling confined. (Even in folk dream interpretations, scenes involving a specific kind of container don’t have one consistent meaning.)
Through the mind: You may feel frustrated by limited choices or things you need to do, or be trying hard not to miss a small opportunity. You might also consider whether you wanted to take the fish out or simply watch it.
