A mermaid in the European tradition is half fish, half woman with a beautiful voice, face, luxurious hair and the most seductive manners. In Russia, mermaids have a normal build, without a fish tail, and can go ashore, sit on tree branches, luring passers-by with singing, jokes and promises of sexual pleasures.
A mermaid in a dream is a seductive symbol of danger, fatal passion, when you understand that nothing good will come from the entertainment, but still want to try your luck. Let's look at why a mermaid dreams according to dream books.
Beliefs about mermaids
There are many legends and images of this creature in Russian beliefs. She was considered not only an insidious seductress of men, but also a protector of fields and reservoirs. Many myths say that mermaids treat children favorably, protecting those who are lost from animals and showing the way home. And also do not forget that in Slavic mythology, mermaids are drowned girls.
In Western European legends, their image is presented differently. These are the daughters of sea lords and gods. They are often identified with sirens, attributing to them the ability to lure men into the depths of the sea with their singing.
Therefore, dreams with her participation are ambiguous. Whoever dreamed about the mermaid is also important. If a man or woman had a dream with a sea creature, then the interpretation in the dream book should be considered separately.
Why do you dream of becoming a mermaid?
Transformation into a mermaid
dreams when changing social roles. If you used to be someone's beloved woman, you will soon become a wife. This dream also affects motherhood; there is a chance that you will soon have offspring. In addition, such a dream is a sign that in the near future you will deceive someone. This may happen through no fault of your own, by accident, but you will have to deal with the consequences yourself.
Mermaid's tail
dreams of those who make grandiose plans, but never complete them. You are intoxicated by the rapid success of your business, but at the first difficulties you prefer to give up. If you put in enough effort and boldly face difficulties, there is a high probability that your business will bring you resounding success and improve your financial situation.
Meaning in the dream book for men
It was men that sea and river beauties always saw as their goal.
A dream about a mermaid speaks of intimate desires, constant affairs and an unwillingness to settle down. The dream warns that such an attitude towards the opposite sex will not lead to anything good. Frequently changing partners can lead to mental devastation. And the best way out is to slow down, stop chasing lust, and start looking at women more soberly. Only then will the dreamer be able to find true happiness.
For a married man, this is a harbinger of the collapse of the marital relationship. If your wife plays the role of a mermaid, you should beware of betrayal. The mermaid warns young people who do not pursue carnal pleasures about the appearance of a femme fatale in their lives. It’s worth thinking before you rush into a relationship, because this lady will break your heart.
It is important to remember what exactly the mermaid did in her dream.
What does the dream book for a woman say?
If a woman dreams of a mermaid, then this means that she needs to be more careful in her relationship with a man.
A dreaming sea creature can talk about temptations and sexual fantasies, but they will not end well. She warns that you need to be more careful with men.
For a woman, a playful mermaid in a dream can mean a strong rival; you need to be ready to fight for love.
If you dreamed of a mermaid resting on the shore, this indicates a desire to be at sea, relax and unwind.
The dreamer turned out to be a mermaid - you should reconsider your behavior towards the opposite sex. Perhaps the woman has become too intrusive for the chosen one. Excessive attention can be off-putting.
Witches and monsters
Sleeping with a girl on the ocean and seeing that she has turned into an evil mermaid is an unfavorable sign. The vision predicts deception and big troubles for you.
The appearance of a scary mermaid in the water is a sign of fear. Especially if she began to grab you in the water, scare you or drag you to the bottom. The Islamic dream book indicates that you will find yourself in an unpleasant situation and may become a victim of blackmail.
Killing a sea monster and evil spirits in a dream means trying to cope with negative circumstances. There may be an evil influence in your life from a woman who can bring a lot of grief and trouble.
For a man to follow a mermaid who suddenly turns into a monster is not good. The dream warns him against temptation and rash action.
But it’s even worse if a girl dreams of an attractive man-fish who will try to drag her to the bottom and destroy her. After this dream, you should be wary of meeting an attractive person, as he may drag you into a dangerous situation or environment.
Killing him or driving him away means victory over the enemy and troubles. This dream is seen as a sign of happiness and a way out of a difficult life situation or problem.

Appearance of a dreamed mermaid
But not only gender is important, what matters is how exactly the mermaid is dreamed about.
A short-haired mermaid speaks of deception in a relationship. Conflicts and disagreements with your partner are brewing. Perhaps treason or other deception will be revealed. Most often, she comes in a dream to those who blindly believe in personal relationships, completely relying on their soulmate. The tailed beauty is trying to open her eyes to the truth.
With long hair, on the contrary, it speaks of long-term and reliable relationships. Feelings become stronger every day, and there are more and more happy moments. But still, a mermaid who comes to a dream warns of envious people who will try to get into their personal life.
The beautiful sea maiden will talk about the dreamer’s selfishness and narcissism. This character trait may lead to negative consequences in the near future.
If you dream of a mermaid with ugly facial features, it means your self-esteem is too low. If you want to implement your plans, it is recommended to work on yourself.
A dream with a dead mermaid indicates an unsuccessful start to the period. We will have to part with illusions. Serious losses are possible.
Teenage and preteen dreams
In the dreams of girls, a mermaid, especially a lively and attractive one, predicts the future and inner freedom associated with the dreamer herself. If you were swimming and saw a beauty with a tail in the water, expect pleasant company and positive impressions.
Especially if the tailed nymph looked like the dreamer herself or her friend. Swimming with her or getting into a round dance of mermaids means friendship and close communication in a female company, but sometimes this promises you anxiety for life and trouble.
For some people, such a vision warns of the dangers of drugs or alcohol addiction. If the mermaids managed to lure you into a whirlpool, from which it turned out to be very difficult to get out, this is an unfavorable sign.
The dream predicts addiction or a life-threatening situation. It’s good if you managed to get out of the depths of the sea. Then you will not fall under bad influence.
If a girl sees a kind little mermaid, it means she will have a good friend or acquaintance who will support you in a difficult situation.
Relaxing with her in the shallows and laughing is a sign of great love. This dream is good for both boys and girls. It portends pleasant communication with well-wishing friends and girlfriends.
If a girl dreams of a pregnant mermaid, she herself is at risk of an illegitimate pregnancy. The dream predicts grief and tears, an event that is brewing in the future, but has not yet manifested itself.
For girls, such a night vision can portend great suffering and tears, so you should be wary of rash actions. For guys, the appearance of mermaids indicates curiosity and the appearance of a girlfriend.
Sometimes they hint at the temptation or negative consequences of some action. For example, if you dreamed that the pregnant girl you left behind turned into a mermaid, beware, as she may be in mortal danger. The exact interpretation of the dream depends on what and who exactly you saw.
Actions of a mermaid in a dream
If the prankster only showed her head out of the water and then disappeared, you need to be realistic and give up illusions. Chasing an impossible dream is a waste of time. Through this action, control of what is happening around is lost.
When the mermaid sang and laughed, she prophesied a pleasant meeting and acquaintance with good people.
She splashed water on the dreamer and told him about the gossip behind his back. Someone is trying to weave intrigues and spread unpleasant rumors.
If in a dream a mermaid combs her hair with a comb, your expectations may be justified. The situation or person on whom hopes are placed will justify itself.
An undine braiding her hair is a harbinger of a frank conversation with a loved one. A friend or girlfriend will tell you something that they have been keeping to themselves for a long time. Support should be provided and the secret kept.
Joyfully splashing in the water - a wish, or a quick trip to the sea.
A sea maiden dreaming on the shore personifies dreams of high feelings.
If you dream of a mermaid swimming in dirty water, you need to beware of negative rumors. Don't trust people with your secrets. There is no need to be upset if they start talking behind your back; it is better to take the situation into your own hands.
A beauty sitting relaxed on a stone promises a noisy meeting with strangers. It also speaks of promiscuous relationships with the opposite sex, and warns against unreasonable actions. Moderate your ardor, otherwise the consequences may be irreparable.
And the tailed beauty sitting in the bath will bring good news. The dreamer can expect a pleasant surprise that will be remembered for a long time.
A wonderful mermaid, luring the dreamer into the water, talks about the desire to have a lover or mistress.
The round dance of mermaids encourages you to believe in dreams and fantasies and go towards them.
Where was the mermaid?
A mermaid in the water dreams of a new romantic relationship. The dreamer will meet a person who will completely occupy his thoughts. The coming time will be filled with dates, going to the movies or restaurants, and long evening walks.
Rapid development of relationships and extremely passionate manifestations of love are coming. However, such relationships are not allowed to last long - after some time, the fire of love will die out, and you will part with your other half. Do not attach much importance to such meetings, but regard them as something similar to a holiday romance.
A dream where you saw a mermaid on land means unexpected events. The dream book predicts for the dreamer the most absurd situations that he could not even think about. Upcoming events can either pass without visible consequences or end in the saddest outcome.
A dream with a mermaid on the shore is a symbol of unfulfilled dreams or desires. Stop wishing for the impossible. All your last efforts to achieve your goal are wasted. Try to come to terms with this state of affairs to avoid further waste of vitality and time.
Start by setting yourself a few achievable goals and then increase the difficulty. This approach will help you not lose the will to win and will add self-confidence.
Actions of a person sleeping in a dream with a mermaid
If in a dream a mermaid brought you a gift, then expect good news
Splashing in a pond with mermaids means trusting your intuition. Believe what your heart says, and then your intelligence and resourcefulness will do a good job.
If the water diva gave a gift, it means there is a secret lover or sweetheart in life. This person is afraid to talk about his feelings, but perhaps he is his destiny. You should take a closer look at your surroundings.
By talking to a mermaid in a dream, you can get an answer to a question that has been haunting you for a long time or has remained a mystery.
If in a dream the dreamer fell in love with a mermaid, then a romantic adventure is possible.
If a beauty tries to drag her away with her, this means negative thoughts and depression. It is worth overcoming doubts and looking at life with a more optimistic mood, otherwise such a state of mind can lead to thoughts of suicide.
If the nymph was killed, it means there is a desire to change life radically and start all over from scratch. There is no need to be afraid of these impulses. It is this step that will allow you to find a new, happy destiny.
Kisses with a mermaid speak of gossip and condemnation of your personal life. The environment does not accept the dreamer's current line of behavior. Something that has been so carefully hidden for a long time may come to light.
If you are trying to catch a little mermaid in a dream, it means you are looking for a life partner
Catching this prankster in a dream means seeking communication with the opposite sex. If such a hunt is successful, you can expect increased attention and outright flirting. But if you already have a soulmate, and you still managed to catch the mermaid, then you will have good luck in financial matters. But it’s too early to rejoice. Such unexpected enrichment could affect loved ones, so before accepting the gift, you need to make sure that no one was harmed. Such material happiness will float away as quickly and easily as it came.
Spying on a mermaid means experiencing lustful feelings and carnal fantasies for someone.
To frighten away is to succumb to frivolity in your personal life. For those who are already in a solid and confident relationship, this promises a desire for betrayal. You shouldn't give in to this vice. The deception will be exposed, and you can lose a truly dear person. For those who are still searching, a momentary hobby will entail negative consequences.
Cartoon character
We are talking about a drawn mermaid, a sticker or a picture with her, a fragment from a film or cartoon.
Usually children, especially girls, see such night scenes. If they dreamed of a fish woman from a Disney fairy tale, then the dream promises the fulfillment of a dream, joy and happiness, positive emotions and impressions.
Talking to her in a dream means receiving interesting advice that can be very useful in life or in the future. For a girl to swim with her in a dream - to freedom and adventure, joy and pleasant emotions.
Especially if the mermaid was attractive and interesting, your height and age. Looking at her tail is a surprise. Portends a sudden receipt of a gift and a pleasant incident.
If a girl is given a mermaid doll, then her cherished wish will come true. Especially in a situation if she looks like the heroine of a Disney cartoon, which all girls, without exception, like.
If the doll is similar in appearance to the dreamer, but shows her at an older age, the dream indicates good news or is a sign of fate.
Such a vision indicates a destiny that will resemble the love of the heroine of a Disney cartoon. Seeing a mermaid girl with a feminine figure, reminiscent of the dreamer herself, but at an older age is quite favorable.
A dream reveals the future. Especially if you saw it in another country, for example, in the city of Venice among gondolas or in the Maldives.
This indicates the fulfillment of a cherished desire, but if the mermaid cried, this is an unfavorable sign. Such a dream warns against unhappy love in adulthood, regrets and betrayal.
If the little mermaid was completely different from Marena or Ariella, then expect an unexpected incident. Often she personifies the image of the dreamer herself, especially in the future. If the mermaid's hair color does not match yours, then expect a surprise or a guest appearing in the house.
Seeing a coloring book or a picture or a book with this character is a fulfillment of desire and surprise. The dream book indicates that you will be satisfied and happy, especially if the dream was dreamed by a child.
For an adult, a picture with a mermaid predicts a new acquaintance or a love adventure. Sometimes a dream predicts a surprise that will be nice and bright, but will not bring too much of a cascade of positive and pleasant impressions and emotions.
It's good to see a cartoon character come to life. The dream book predicts an unexpected situation for you, which will cause considerable surprise. Such a dream predicts good news and pleasant events in your life. Remember what exactly you saw in your dream, what episode.
If you swam with the little mermaid and watched her go to the sea witch to become a human, you will have to radically change your life. If the little mermaid swims out of the water, expect unexpected creative takeoff and joy.
Freud's interpretation of sleep
The dream of a mermaid talks about hunting the opposite sex. For relationships, this is just a game, and the more fleeting partners are caught in the love net, the greater the excitement. In this way, the true desire to find the ideal of your soul mate is veiled. But gambling behavior only delays the search. Someone who truly loves and appreciates can be nearby.
For a woman, being a mermaid means leading a frivolous lifestyle. Even if there is already a significant other, such a girl continues to flirt with men, giving reasons for jealousy to her partner. This will lead to the fact that strong and important relationships will fall apart, and the dreamer will be left with nothing.
Meaning in children's dream book
If you dream of a mermaid, then the child should remember that secrets cannot be told to anyone. If you are afraid of losing your friends, you should keep their secrets to yourself, even if you really want to share them with someone.
If a child dreams of a mermaid, this may mean the loss of close friends.
Interpretation in a family dream book
A mermaid's smile promises an unexpected meeting with girlfriends or friends. If a water nymph splashes with water, you should not pay attention to gossip about the family, and if there is someone in a relationship who is trying to separate her from her loved one, then she will fade into the background. Seeing a mermaid in a dream from Thursday to Friday means recharging yourself with positive emotions, which are so needed now. From Friday to Saturday - those who were not even expected to notice your skills will notice them. There will be an opportunity to show intelligence and move up the career ladder.
I dreamed of a smiling mermaid, look forward to new meetings
Interpretation by Yu. Longo
In a dream, a mermaid represents fleeting joy, which will be replaced by sadness. A lot of time in life is wasted on trifles. The undine sitting on a stone warns that while constantly chasing your ideal, you cannot often change partners, this only delays the search. The one who loves is closer than it seems.
A mermaid caught in a net is a symbol of a tireless hunt, which is a game rather than real pleasure from constantly changing partners. Such an attitude will only lead to devastation of the soul and a complete loss of interest. It’s worth stopping and finally looking around, otherwise life can fly by in vain.
A woman who sees herself as a mermaid in a dream should think about her behavior. Constant communication with men makes your partner furious. Constant bouts of jealousy have a negative impact on relationships. Instead of causing such feelings, it is better to give your loved one care and attention. Only after this change in behavior will the union become strong, and the beloved will amaze you with how much affection and care he can give.
