As you know, the images that visit us in night visions are a reflection of the realities of everyday life, the most striking of which we re-experience when we are in the grip of sleep. Daytime impressions, which became the basis of dreams, can be very different. Among them, not the last place is occupied by those that have become the product of our taste preferences. Their interpretation is extremely ambiguous and depends on many different circumstances. We will verify this by the example of how salt fish is interpreted by the compilers of dream books - well, for example, herring.
Fatty herring - dreams of a successful person
First of all, a person who happened to eat a herring in a dream should restore the smallest details of what he saw in the morning, and only after that try to interpret them. This rule, which applies to all the plots of night dreams, is fully applicable to those in which we indulge in gluttony. We will pass on to excerpts from dream books compiled by well-known interpreters below, and now turn to the most common judgments among the people regarding the meaning of dreams about fish.
So, it is considered that the main direction of interpretation is given by the appearance of the dreamed herring. If she is fat and appetizing, then this gives out the desire of the dreamer to become a prosperous and successful person. Such an image symbolizes his desire for prosperity and satiety. Often, he is interpreted as a harbinger of successful acquisitions or receipt of an old debt. At the same time, a small and nondescript fish reveals in a person his indifference to what is happening and his inability to arrange his own life.
A Few More Important Judgments
Of no less importance are those sensations that arise in a person when he eats a herring in a dream. Thus, people say that the pleasure experienced at the same time is the key to enrichment soon due to a successful commercial operation or career advancement. Moreover, the size of material benefits received in reality directly depends on the degree of bliss experienced in a dream.
However, if the dream meal was not only not pleasant, but also accompanied by unpleasant sensations, then in real life you will have to work hard and sweat to achieve success. We should not expect the speedy implementation of our plans, but with persistence and patience, you can still get what you want.
There is also a sign that a person who eats a herring with caviar in a dream, in reality, should prepare for the reception of unexpected, but very pleasant guests. This meeting, despite its spontaneity, will give him great pleasure and help him escape from everyday worries. The atmosphere will be relaxed and fun. One cannot help but recall one more very widespread opinion that those who in a dream ate herring without a head should in reality disregard their penchant for rationalism and act in the way the heart tells. In other words, when solving the most serious issues, one must be guided not by reason, but by intuition.
Prophecies for Men and Women
Regarding what dreams of eating herring, there are several popular interpretations addressed separately to men and women. So, about the representatives of the stronger sex (we assume that these are still men) it is customary to say that those who, in a dream, tasted herrings with pleasure, will wake up successfully completed earlier work and lay a good start over. It is noted that one should refrain from fighting potential competitors and by all means seek reconciliation with them, and possibly cooperation. In addition, the dreamer must remember a good rest, without which he will not be able to restore strength.
Somewhat differently, rumor interprets similar dreams about fish, but seen by women. First of all, any plot in which there is a herring is somehow associated with pregnancy. There are a lot of interpretations, and each of them corresponds to some specific feature of what they saw. Here are just three of them. So, if a dreamer cleaned herring with her own hands, cut into pieces, and then sprinkled with a beam, laid out on a dish, then, most likely, a new life soon will be born in it.
In a dream, to witness how another woman prepares a treat - no matter whether she is familiar or not - means that soon someone will hear about someone’s pregnancy and help will be needed for the expectant mother.
And the last option: no one was cooking anything, and a herring was served on the table in a jar, from which those present themselves took pieces. This story is regarded as a bad omen, promising either the dreamer herself or some of the women close to her an unsuccessful pregnancy, the result of which will be a miscarriage. It is difficult to say what such a gloomy belief is based on, but in any case, those women to whom this may be related should be extremely careful when bearing the fetus.
And finally, let us recall another very widespread popular interpretation concerning those who ate herring in a dream and choked on the bone. It is addressed to both men and women. It is instructive for them to take control of their own emotions and, communicating with others, keep themselves in an appropriate framework. Otherwise, they risk provoking a conflict on the most insignificant occasion and not only ruin their reputation, but also make very serious trouble. This is especially true for those people who know that they are surrounded by secret envious people who can take advantage of any suitable opportunity to harm them.
Appetizing - not always useful
Often in night visions, the herring appears not as a whole fish, but in the form of chopped pieces, which you would like to put on a plate. However, despite all their appetite, such an image does not carry anything good in itself. According to the popular belief, he says that in reality the dreamer is ready to commit some unseemly act, which he will regret for a long time.
In addition, if the herring seen in a dream was cut not in even slices, but in torn and shapeless chunks, then its appearance indicates that in real life the sleeping person is biased towards someone who sincerely wishes him well. Having seen such a dream, you need to carefully understand your relationship with others and, if fears are confirmed, try to correct the situation, and if necessary, even apologize to an undeservedly offended person.
Seek help from family and friends
Now let's see what is written about night visions, of which the herring is part of the plot, in dream books compiled by the most famous and popular interpreters. We begin our review with the comments of the famous American psychiatrist and interpreter of dreams, Gustav Miller. At the beginning of the last century, he pointed out in his writings that any salted fish (including herring) that appeared in night dreams is a harbinger of serious problems awaiting the dreamer.
At the same time, the venerable master believed that the most tangible blow of fate should be expected in the monetary sphere. What character he will be wearing is not specified, but in any case, Mr. Miller reassured readers, the troubles will turn out to be fleeting, and soon their financial stability will be restored. To speed up the search for a way out of this situation, the author of the dream book recommends not to fall into despair and seek help from relatives or close friends.
Diseases revealed through dreams
Noteworthy is the equally negative interpretation of the image of salted fish in the dream book, authored by the blind Bulgarian soothsayer Vanga. She connects him with the manifestation of various kinds of diseases that the dreamer suffers from, and in some cases even makes diagnoses based on the plots he saw.
So, old and stale herring, in her opinion, is a sure sign of heart disease. Moreover, if a person dreams that he cuts it himself, then it will be possible to overcome the ailment only through surgical intervention. Excessively bony fish indicates problems with the organs of the musculoskeletal system, and dry and crisp in the mouth - about nervous diseases.
Herring is a harbinger of troubles and sorrows
If someone in a dream ate herring and at the same time felt the characteristic smell of rotten fish, then in addition to health problems he can expect other serious troubles. Their spectrum is very extensive - from adultery to the loss of social status. It is highly undesirable to see yourself buying a herring in a bank in a dream. This simple everyday plot, according to the prophetess, assures the collapse of a business undertaking. To protect yourself from troubles, it is not recommended to enter into transactions and conduct serious commercial negotiations on all subsequent days.
In the same dream book, and food, personally prepared from herring, is presented as a sign of future troubles. Moreover, the list of dishes is very extensive. For example, a person who made a herring so beloved by many in a dream under a fur coat might seriously expect financial difficulties, worsened by conflicts between him and employees of his company.
If a married woman dreams that she is busy cooking herring oil, then her faithful will soon tarnish herself with adultery, and if this is a dream for a young girl, then the groom will be taken from under her nose. Thus, the herring in the dream book of the soothsayer Vanga is represented extremely negatively. Let us now turn to the works of our contemporaries and see how such dreams are interpreted in them.
What did the experts in mystical teachings tell?
In the now popular "Esoteric Dream Book" much attention is paid to dreams about fish, among the variety of which herring has a special place. Her appearance in night visions is regarded by the authors as a warning against rash and rash acts, which subsequently may become a cause for bitter regrets.
Moreover, in their opinion, it is detrimental not only to eat herring in a dream, but also to catch it, and then prepare various fish dishes. Such plots of night visions suggest that the dreamer may soon suffer from hasty commitments. He is recommended in the near future not to lend money to unfamiliar people and to refrain from investing in dubious commercial projects. We note in passing that this advice should always be followed, regardless of the plot of night visions.
According to the compilers of the Esoteric Dream Book, treating you with fish (herring or some other) in a dream is a very bad sign. Such a vision indicates that the dreamer has some unclean thoughts in his soul. Perhaps he wants to betray a business partner, taking advantage of his trust. Nor should one eat fish himself. A dream in which a treat is received from an outsider speaks of the threat of becoming his victim. In this case, it’s recommended that you take a closer look at everyone you have to deal with and be prepared for all sorts of surprises.
Did you see a herring in a dream? Get ready to repay debts!
The compilers of the Veles Dream Book, which today is very popular among readers, approach the question of what it means to have a herring in a dream. On its pages you can also find the answer to our question. According to the authors, the image of a fish seen in a dream (herring is no exception) should be interpreted in relation to the financial sphere of life.
So, treating someone with this dish in our night visions, we must be prepared for the fact that in reality we will have to hastily pay debts and repay bank loans. The drafters also mention one more meaning that this dream may have: eating fish offered by someone else means, in their opinion, exorbitant expenses due to the purchase of a large number of things.
Kaleidoscope of opinions
At the end of the article we give a few more interesting judgments regarding the herring seen in a dream. So according to the assurances of the compilers of the "Family Dream Book", food prepared from this fish is a harbinger of impending family troubles, each of which may become the culprit. At the same time, the compiler of another such essay, G. Ivanov, informs his readers that this image, dreamed of by women, is a sign of imminent pregnancy, and that men promise secret love affairs, which, however, they will be very sorry.
Dream Interpreter N. Grishina foreshadows those who saw a herring in despair, sadness and sadness, while the reference book of T. Smirnov refers to the imminent return of debt, which was previously considered hopelessly lost. The authors of The Common Dream Book regard the image of herring as a threat to family breakdown, and the well-known interpreter Mr. Prozorov predicts a successful solution to all financial problems and successful enrichment in the future. As it is easy to see, the range of opinions is very large, so we must be guided by the one indicated by our own intuition, since the inner voice is sometimes the most faithful adviser.
