   Thank you for the wonderful insights. I am a dowser and I recently received a pendulum chart booklet on Animal guides (from mirrorwaters.com in case anyone is interested.) When I dowsed the list It came up with Tuna. I had no Idea what it meant… I then remembered snorkeling on many occasions and being surrounded by tuna. And another time when I was on a large ferry boat and having a tuna leap out of the water going in the same direction of boat and seemingly just hang in the air next to me for about 5 seconds!

   When I asked the tuna what he was here to assist me with he said. “To help to free you of your self imposed limitation, and allow you to be free to go deep into your own thoughts and understand your relationship to the rest of the world”

     Hi, Amy Jo;

     You are most welcome and thank you for visiting WhatIsMySpiritAnimal.com!

     What an awesome story! I haven’t researched Tuna as a Spirit, Totem, or Power Animal yet but since ALL animals bring powerful energy and medicine to the realms of men, it doesn’t surprise me that the message Tuna sent to you was “deep”.

   On Eart Day this year I was sending out healing energy and connected with whale. The right eye, mouth, blow hole and half of right side of her body came into view strongly. I felt strength, compassion and deep wisdom. My regular spirit animals are turtle, hawk and bear. I am still meditating on whale energy. Helps with my new sobriety.

     Hello, Raymond;

     Congratulations on your sobriety! Since you’re working on sobriety, it makes perfect sense that you saw the right side of your Whale Spirit Animal. Right is Yang energy. It’s elements are fire & spirit. It’s ruled by sunlight. You’re coming out of the darkness, into the light and Whale energy is there to help you cross that ocean!

     If you haven’t seen it yet, click to read about the Whale Spirit, Totem, and Power Animal.

     Hi, Isabel;

     Without knowing what kind of Fish, I can’t give specifics about his personality. However, in general, Fish ‘people’ are very in touch with their feelings and emotions. They ‘go with the flow’ and can be incredibly kind.

     Hope that helps.

   I did a shamanic meditation where I was told I would meet someone who would give me a message. Long story short I found a woman dancing around a fire who smeared ash on my face and instantly I saw a trout. It was weird because we were in the mountains, but after a moment I realized I was actually following behind a trout swimming in murky water. After this I settled to the bottom of the water and sat for a long time, and the water became clear. I was wondering what your thoughts on a trout might be?

     Hello, Katherine;

     Trout are well known for their ability to camouflage from predators. The many different colors and hues that adorn Trout’s body are used specifically for the purpose of being able to camouflage. Because the water was murky but then became clear, I would say that potentially Trout swam into your dream to let you know it’s OK to finally show your true colors – to ‘come out from hiding’.

     Hope that helps.

   I had a very powerful meditation and at the end I was told they were gifting with a rainbow fish. It did not specify what type of rainbow fish but I would recognise it if I saw it. Do you know what types of fish are rainbow in color and I mean bright colors blues reds pinks green greenish blue

   Hello,

   I had a very vivid dream recently where I was swimming in the ocean and a Sunfish passed by me and allowed me to touch it. I was wondering if this could perhaps be one of my spirit animals coming forth and letting itself be known in this time where many new and exciting changes are happening in my life (with one difficulty being my job) and what the Sunfish as a spirit animal represents?

   Thank you

   Any idea what a gar fish might symbolize… particularly if visiting you in a dream state?

     Hi, Wendy;

     I couldn’t find too much on Gar fish symbolism but I suspect it might be like Hummingbirds (long noses that look like Swords). Swords represent aiming straight and true at goals as well as the Air Element. So, seeing a Gar fish in a dream might mean that it’s time for you to aim at what your heart’s biggest desire is (Water represents emotions). Also, what untruths or veils do you need to ‘pierce’? What is being hidden from you at this time?

     Hope that helps!

   I was having a healing and saw a whole bunch of fish. They were half in the water. The water was clear. Almost like you would see in China with the koi fish,but it was rainbow trout. So many of them they could hardly swim. What would you know what this would represent?

    Hi, On Monday, March 27, 2017, It was heavy fog all day. In the afternoon, I went out for a good long walk at the waterfront, still in fog. To my surprise, I saw a big fish jumping high in the air at far distance. There was no boat or anything. Water at Lake Ontario was very calm. I stayed still at the pier waiting and watching. There I saw another one again. Still fog but I could see jumping fishs (fishes) there and there. In total I saw jumping fishs twenty-seven (27) times!!!!!!!! It could be more than 27 times but I had to leave because my adult son was waiting in my car. Smile. I stayed there long enough. I am really honoured to witness this event! It was really amazing! I usually go there for a walk but not like this. I don’t know what kind of fishs they were but more likely Pike, Bass,Walleye or other – all fishs were quite big! I could see them at far distance. Can you tell me what does this sign of jumping fishs mean?

    Do you have any information regarding Sun Fish? I had a dream that i was swimming with a HUGE sun fish, like bigger than I was, and I was in some type of human form, I also had hundreds of baby sea turtles, all sizes really, all around me as well! the water was warm and sweet salty. It was quite lovely dream actually. Would love to hear your thoughts on it?

    I’m just saying the dream part. I had a dream in which I was a horse having sex with an ass. The ass gave birth to a mule. Good looking mule too. Which one of the three would be my spirit animal I guess is what I’m wondering.

    Thank you! During the night in dream state a strong image of a fish, salmon, with something in his mouth, round brown like a nut (yes, it must’ve been a hazelnut, the only nut that looks like that!) and on top of his head was a golden crown. Blew my mind to read here re Celtic lore.

    Hi All, wonder if anyone could shed some light on this…

    My daughter brought her tropical fish home, guami’s plex, plati and guppys.
    Since she brought them iv got quite interested in them love to look at them individually spotting the pregnant guppys and fishing out babies . I think there great, quite mesmerising actually. I wonder if maybe because I a water sign (aquarius)
    Anyway, today has been odd., I keep seeing guppys everywhere, in my Peripheral vision, when I blink sometimes, like a flash, even when I was watering my plants I kept seeing fish in the soil, the odd thing wa some where dead some caught my eye cos they were moving, I know I sound mad but it’s a split second vision if u like just fish all over the place in my mind also what could this mean or am I needing to call my Cpn

    I need help to understand. I dreamt I a group of people found a live, large and well filled out white fresh water bass. It’s scales eyes and everything was unblemished. It was given to me. It was positive for me to feel the body which I felt the scales and protective film. While I carried the fish it sprayed out liquid. I believe these were eggs. But I didn’t take the fish to clean or eat it. I put in clean and clear water. Except for needing to wipe off my skirt these were no negative vibes.
