Catching something (for example, a fish) could represent finding something you’ve been wanting or looking for.
Catching an object that was thrown to you (such as a ball) could represent: accepting an invitation to dialogue, play, or otherwise participate with the thrower, something in real life that you perceive as a game, receiving authority or something else that’s handed off to you (as in “now the ball is in your court”), communication, or receiving a message, completing a process, an event that you consider a success.
