Animal - water

Water animals, amphibians, because their habitat is water symbolize people or forces in our waking life with a large emotional charge. Fish in dreams are fertility symbols, because they are small, primitive creatures that live in water, not unlike an embryo in the womb. Sharks in dreams represent aggressive people, often in business or sexual contexts. Whales, like dolphins, in dreams are associated with the emotional and spiritual wisdom, except on an even larger scale. Eels in dreams are like underwater snakes; there’s an emotional situation in which you are afraid of being hurt or “bitten.” An octopus or squid) in a dream represents someone in your waking life who you fear will suffocate or envelope you in their tentacles or may even be "grabby."
