In this dream, I find myself walking on a hill. As I look down, I can see that there's a pond or lake at the bottom of the hill. I can see that there are fish in the water, and I find that I have fishing gear with me. I cast a line all the way down the hill into the water, even though it's actually very far away, and I try to catch a fish.
I'm not having any luck, and I feel confused by this. I crawl down the hill until I get to the edge of the water and continue fishing. The spot I'm in is pretty shallow and rocky, and I have to climb over a lot of large rocks. I don't know if this means anything or not, but looking ahead I see that the lake goes on around a corner beyond my vision; I don't know what's around the corner or even how large the lake is.
Finally, I catch a fish. It fights and fights and it takes me a very long time to make any progress with it. I'm forced to continue climbing over the stones and around and through shrubs. In the end, I'm able to bring the fish close. As I reach into the water to pull it out, it's no longer a fish but something really grotesque -- half fish but also covered with wet fur and spikes. It has threatening teeth. I'm repulsed by it and throw the fish and the fishing rod into the water.
