What does dreaming about fish mean in the Bible?
Provision — and the call to fish for people
In Scripture
Fish in the Gospels mean provision and calling: nets filled past breaking at Jesus' word, and fishermen turned into fishers of men. A fish dream may touch either — God's supply where your own effort caught nothing, or an invitation to join His work of drawing people in.
