Prophecies addressed to men and women
Regarding why you dream of eating herring, there are several folk interpretations, addressed separately to men and women. Thus, it is customary to say about representatives of the stronger sex (let’s assume that these are men after all) that those of them who enjoyed eating herring in a dream will in reality successfully complete the work they started earlier and make a successful start to new ones. At the same time, it is noted that one should refrain from fighting potential competitors and should make every effort to seek reconciliation and, possibly, cooperation with them. In addition, the dreamer needs to remember about proper rest, without which he will not be able to regain strength.
Popular rumor interprets similar dreams about fish, but seen by women, somewhat differently. First of all, any plot in which herring is present is somehow associated with pregnancy. There are a lot of interpretation options, and each of them corresponds to a specific feature of what was seen. We will give just three of them. So, if the dreamer cleaned the herring with her own hands, cut it into pieces, and then, sprinkled with onions, laid it out on a platter, then, most likely, it is in it that a new life will soon arise.
To witness in a dream how another woman is preparing a treat - no matter whether she is familiar or not - means that news of someone’s pregnancy will soon arrive, and the expectant mother will need help.
And the last option: no one cooked anything, but the herring was served on the table in a jar, from which those present took out the pieces themselves. This plot is regarded as a bad omen, promising either the dreamer herself or one of the women close to her an unsuccessful pregnancy, the result of which will be a miscarriage. It is difficult to say on what such a gloomy belief is based, but in any case, those women to whom this may apply must exercise extreme caution when carrying a fetus.
And finally, let us remember another very common folk interpretation concerning those who ate a herring in a dream and choked on a bone. It is addressed to both men and women. They are edifyingly advised to take control of their own emotions and, when communicating with others, to keep themselves within proper limits. Otherwise, they risk provoking a conflict over the most insignificant issue and not only ruining their reputation, but also getting into very serious trouble. This is especially true for those people who know that they are surrounded by secret envious people who can take advantage of any opportunity to harm them.

Cleaning herring in a dream
If in a dream you carefully peeled a herring, in reality you are haunted by bad thoughts, you constantly scroll through them in your head and worry.

Dream interpretation of cutting herring
If in a dream you were cutting up a herring, then in reality a serious illness and surgical intervention are possible if you were born in the summer.
If autumn birthday people had such a dream, in reality they are gnawed by shame and guilt for some previously committed offense. Interpreters recommend that the dreamer let go of negative emotions, otherwise there is a risk of completely destroying himself.
The dream promises illness and mental disorders for dreamers who are depressed. Dream books advise you to consult a psychologist.
Illnesses identified through dreams
Noteworthy is the equally negative interpretation of the image of salted fish in the dream book, the author of which is the blind Bulgarian soothsayer Vanga. She connects it with the manifestation of various kinds of diseases that the dreamer suffers from, and in some cases she even makes diagnoses based on the scenes he saw.
Thus, old and stale herring, in her opinion, is a sure sign of heart disease. Moreover, if a person dreams that he is cutting it up himself, then the disease can only be overcome through surgery. Excessively bony fish indicates problems with the organs of the musculoskeletal system, and dry and crunchy fish in the mouth indicates nervous diseases.
