A Dream of a Fish with Its Tail Cut Off - dream meaning with inherited lore
This may be a scene that brings you back to the feeling of losing the strength or direction to move, or of having part of a plan cut off.
The fish has a severed or injured tail and tries to swim. You may feel sorry for it, or find it grotesque and want to get away.
Korean lore: Traditionally, an injured fish has sometimes been interpreted as a state where an opportunity or one’s energy is not whole. It may also be viewed differently depending on whether the scene recovers and how you treated the fish. (In folk dream interpretations, an animal’s wounds or damage to part of its body are often read as images of blockage or loss.)
Through the mind: Your dream may show the frustration of feeling that one condition needed for work or a relationship is missing, or that you cannot move as you once did. It may also be your mind showing a recently halted plan or lowered confidence as a visual scene.
