dreamt of labyrinth-like, low fantasy amusement park , and reached the end (or exit). a Chinese dragon-fish, appearing from a lake or swamp, gave me gold coins on the way through

Hi Vansio. What do you mean by "low fantasy"? Perhaps it's about finding your way out of an inner confusion? Solving some emotional conflict through a playful approach? The dragon fish with the coin could symbolise luck, divine protection or inner resources. I read a little bit about the symbolism of the dragon fish, but I'm not familiar with this content myself so I prefer not to comment on the type of fish on which you were dreaming.
Maybe it being Chinese means the east, yin, femininity.

What are your thoughts?

I was wondering about "low fantasy" also.

ah “low fantasy” is the term that came up during a google search about worlds that resemble normal life but include magical elements recognized as an intrusion onto that world
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_fantasy

my dream, this park, looked like our earth in terrain and infrastructure, yet a paranormal affect was prominent, notably the dragon fish creature. there were more events to this dream I didn’t include when asking about the historical symbol of a coin in fish’s mouth

Sorry to confuse

That's fine, thanks for clarifying.
Maybe you have a feel of the magical side to life. Or you are called to use your imagination to strech the so called limits of what we call reality, and have more fun in life (amusement park). I still think the dragon fish with the coin in its mouth represents divine protection and luck. Maybe life seems complicated, like a labyrinth you need to find your way out of, and this dream comes to encourage you to embrace a more playful approach, to take things more lightly and trust divine providence and the unseen..
