Dreaming of seeing rotten fish - dream meaning with inherited lore
Rotten fish can sometimes represent a scene where long-delayed tasks or uncomfortable feelings become impossible to ignore.
You see fish whose color has changed or whose flesh has gone soft. Along with the fishy smell, you may feel deeply uneasy or burdened.
Korean lore: Traditionally, spoiled fish has sometimes been seen as a scene showing that the course of something you expected has weakened, or that a worry remains in your heart. The stronger the smell and condition, the more interpretations have tended to focus on old, lingering worries. (In folk dream interpretation, the freshness and smell of food are often connected with one's current energy or worries in the household.)
Through the mind: You may have been left with an unpleasant aftertaste from someone's words or from a recent situation. Even if you appeared to let it go, your heart may still be in a state of wanting to check what happened.
