Death (Others)
Dreaming of someone else dying typically doesn't predict their death. Instead, it may represent changes in your relationship with that person, qualities of theirs that you're losing touch with, or your fears about losing them. If the person is a stranger, they may represent aspects of yourself that are 'dying' or transforming.
Fish
Fish swimming in dreams often relate to the emotional realm — the water they inhabit represents the unconscious mind. Catching fish can symbolize insights being brought from the unconscious to conscious awareness. In many cultures, fish represent abundance and prosperity. In Christianity, fish carry sacred symbolism. Dead fish may indicate missed opportunities or emotional issues that need attention.
