What does it mean when you dream about a star fish?

Answer 1

This is an unusual dream that might have a unique significance for this particular dreamer. The star fish could be a symbol that points toward two separate directions or worlds. As a "star" it reflects the heavens, yet as a "fish" (sea creature) it reflects the depth of the ocean. Certain star fish live in tidal pools, straddling the boundaries of both land and sea, sometimes exposed to air, sometimes immersed in water. To the casual observer, star fish appear immobile and barely alive, yet they are perfectly capable of moving about on rocks, sand and the sea floor. Putting all this together, a dream of a star fish might illustrate the dreamer's effort to live in two different worlds, or perhaps the dreamer's feeling as if he/she is both native and stranger in two separate realms.

Answer 2

A starfish might symbolize a combination of opposites in a dream. The creature is neither a star nor a fish, some species live at the meeting of land and sea, and it appears immobile and lifeless while in reality it is a moving living animal.

Answer 3

Spiders and starfish have very little in common; spiders are generally viewed as repulsive or nasty pests, while starfish are seen as interesting and lovely. The one similarity is the arrangement of their limbs: spiders have eight legs radiating from a central body, just as starfish have five or more "legs" radiating from their center. So you need to consider why this arrangement of "legs" might be significant to you. Perhaps you feel pulled in all directions, or perhaps you feel confronted by problems (or opportunities) from all sides, without knowing which choice should be your priority.
