Psychological dream interpretation

With its enchanting elegance and beauty, and its hybrid nature on fish and human, the mermaid represents fears of the masculine psyche towards feminine sexuality.

In the case of a man, to whom such a dream image appears in his sleep, it probably has to do with insecurity towards the female sex.

Seen differently, the mermaid symbolizes the subconscious. Whoever is delighted by this dream image at night is afraid of the depths of his own soul, is afraid of drowning in his own ocean of feelings or of being swallowed up by the overflowing emotions.

This human fish creature reminds by its ambiguous appearance that there are multi-faceted approaches and also qualities whose potential has not yet been fully exploited.

Spiritual dream interpretation

Since the mermaid is half human and half fish, this suggests to the dreamer that being human requires intuition as well as intellect. The libidinal side of the dreamer should be lived neither too controlled nor dissolute.
