Psychological Meanings:

More then snake or fish, the eel points to a slippery temptation, on the intrigues which threaten us. It is caught or is pulled ashore, difficulties can be overcome. It escapes or it slips out of our hands, then creates difficult problems at our work, or the money slips through our finger. The quality of the water is the ultimate mark for the meaning of the dream.

• Clear, flowing water and the view is nice – the spirit of your life could change. Now more (mental) agility could change your life positively, clear ideas and their implementation is now very important.
• Muddy, murky water means that you want to be “slick” and move easily through unexplained threatening situations. If fear or disgust of eel was the prevailing mood in the dream, you should check your current attitude to sexuality (this could be your partner). Perhaps you feel disgust for your partner and you don’t like when he touches you.
