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.
Hospital
Hospitals represent the need for healing — physical, emotional, or psychological. Being a patient suggests vulnerability and a need to allow others to help. Working in a hospital may indicate a healing role in others' lives. An emergency room visit reflects urgent emotional needs. A hospital can also represent fear of illness or mortality.
