Water in Dreams: Symbolism of Emotions, Cleansing, and Life Transitions

2. Water also signifies cleansing, the power to wash away contamination from everyday life. In religious contexts, such as baptism, water purifies sins, including those inherited from family. Entering water in a dream symbolizes the start of something new. Deep water may indicate feeling overwhelmed or connecting with the subconscious.

3. Spiritual rebirth and life-force. Water appears frequently in dreams with many interpretations. Being immersed in water can symbolize pregnancy and birth. Flowing water indicates peace, while rushing water may reflect passion. Deep water suggests the unconscious, while shallow water points to a lack of energy.

The Symbolism of Water in Dreams: Emotions, Moods, and Flow of Feeling Energy

Water in dreams often symbolizes emotions, moods, and the flow of feeling energy. Because of its fluid nature, water can represent how we relate to our emotions. For instance, we can feel 'drowned' in overwhelming emotions or refreshed by them. Water also embodies our potential to experience many emotions, as it can take any shape or move in various ways. How we interact with water in dreams reflects how we handle our emotions and moods.

Examples of Water in Dreams

Example 1: "I am in deep water, no evidence that it is the sea. I am wearing my heavy brown coat. I have no fear, no feeling of cold, and I pleasantly just sink." (Mrs B). Mrs. B is in her 80s and is preparing for death in her dreams. The water in her dream has a womblike feeling, suggesting that she senses death as a return to a nurturing, womblike state, with the possibility of rebirth.

Example 2: "I was then standing in front of a series of glass water tanks. I had apparently written an article about the balance between intellect and emotion, showing their equal value. The tanks had water flowing through them with a series of valves. Some tanks were beautifully clear and colorful, showing balance, while others had weed growing in them, indicating imbalance." (Anthony F). Anthony’s dream illustrates how water can symbolize emotions and body sensations, showing the balance or imbalance between intellect and emotion.

Example 3: "I was in a hospital ward, maybe for children. In the ward was a large oblong tank full of water. I got into the water and realized all the sick people bathed in it. I felt revulsion, thinking I would absorb their sickness, but I also thought that if I drank the water, it would show the patients a positive attitude toward their illness, helping them heal." (Anthony F). This dream reflects Anthony’s exploration of health-related anxieties, showing how a positive attitude can help overcome childhood fears.

The Emotional and Psychological Symbolism of Water in Dreams

Psychological / emotional perspective: Water in dreams symbolizes our emotions under various circumstances, making it a potent and evocative image. Here are some representations of water in dream interpretation:

• Bathing: Suggests purification.
• Canals: Symbolize the birth process.
• Dams, islands, and obstacles: Represent conscious attempts to control the force of water, and therefore, our emotions.
• Diving: Going into the unconscious, seeking suppressed parts of ourselves.
• Drowning: Indicates pushing things into the unconscious, only for them to reemerge as powerful forces.
• Floods: Represent chaotic emotions, often uncontrollable and overwhelming.
• Fountains: Symbolize womanhood, particularly the Great Mother archetype.

Lakes, Pools, and Rivers in Dreams

A lake or pool signifies a stage of transition between the conscious and spiritual self. Encountering one unexpectedly can offer an opportunity for self-reflection. Being reflected in a pool suggests the need to come to terms with our shadow self, which, when accepted, can provide energy for change.

Rivers or streams always represent the flow of our lives. Our perspective determines whether we see our life as a large river or a small stream. Rushing rivers may suggest that life is moving too quickly, while a deep or frightening river might indicate that we are creating unnecessary difficulties for ourselves.

Seas, Oceans, and Emotional Depth

Seas or oceans often represent cosmic consciousness—the original chaotic state from which all life emerges. A shallow sea suggests superficial emotions, while waves represent strong emotions and passions. A calm sea indicates peace, while a stormy one signifies either negative or positive passion. Being conscious of tides highlights the awareness of time and the ebb and flow of our emotions.

Waterfalls and Overflowing Water

Waterfalls symbolize emotions reaching a point where they must 'spill over' to become manageable, signifying the release of emotional pressure.

Understanding Water in Dreams: Symbol of Emotions and the Unconscious

Universal Landscape: Emotion. The unconscious.

Dreaming Lens

What was the body of water? How large, small, manageable, or fearsome was it? Were you in the water, or did you consider jumping into it? Were you wet or in danger/fear of becoming so? Were you drinking it? Was the water natural or contained in man-made constructions, from cups to pipes or even aqueducts? Was the water related to the weather?

Personal Focus

Water is symbolic of emotions. On a biological level, this is evident through the connection between emotional expression and tears. The human body is primarily made up of water held together by protein-based structures. When we cry, we lose some of that water in a stream emanating from the eyes. While we do not fully understand why we cry, we do so when deeply moved. This mysterious leakage of water is akin to the feelings of loss that accompany it.

Symbolism of Water in Dreams

If all water is viewed as a symbolic representation of emotions, both conscious and unconscious, the structure that the water takes in your dreams informs you of the size and scope of the emotions being illuminated.

As a general rule, weather-related water connects to conscious emotional expression and flow, whereas bodies of water contain some element of unconscious emotions. Rain and storms occur in the atmosphere and often over land, symbolizing the emotional content of the conscious mind. Large bodies of water, especially those that are only partially visible, represent hidden emotions of the unconscious mind.

Control and Movement of Water

When water is contained in any form, the dreamer’s impulse to control some element of their emotional nature is expressed. Violent movement of water, such as rapids, waves, riptides, and storms, represents the overwhelming power of emotional material. Your response to these images indicates your level of fear, resistance, or willingness to engage with your emotions.

Water and Emotional States

Being thirsty or drinking water could indicate a need for emotional nourishment. Drowning in water might symbolize unmanageable emotions or fear of suffocation from emotional expression. A waterfall suggests how feelings can cascade down upon us suddenly with great force, which may be exhilarating or overwhelming. Water used for cleaning, from laundry to personal grooming, indicates the need for emotional healing by working directly with unresolved emotional issues.

See Also: Flood, Fountain, Ice, River, Rain, Snow

See Also: River, Sea, Ocean. This dream symbol can be interpreted on five different levels:

(1) on the sexual level

(2) on an emotional level where your own emotions are perceived as undifferentiated and flowing

(3) as a fear of flooding, being drowned by the unconscious

(4) as a feeling of going with the flow

(5) as a feeling that life is chaotic.

This symbol is also the desire for a totally new orientation.

In alchemy, water is connected to feelings; it represents the wild nature of the soul in need of being conquered. Water is the place where the souls of the dead meet the spirits of the water; it is a place of repression, of secrets with unknown depths and an element of rapture. It can tear us away and sweep us off, and it can be very frightening. Water is the symbol of what is changeable. Diving into the water means to seek wisdom. Whoever looks into the water always sees the Self.

Water symbolizes women, the process of birth and pregnancy. Running water means experiencing sexuality in a positive sense. Standing water means losing vitality and your very center. Or it might mean, as in Pond and the fountain of youth, that water is the carrier of life’s energies and rejuvenation. Out of this understanding might have come the ritual of baptism.

Falling into the water means being swept away by emotion; hut this may also he a warning dream, pointing also to Diving and Drowning.

According to the Chinese understanding of nature, water is a symbol of the elemental, female force of yin.

For the Taoist, water is the essence of life, its movement an example for a life lived in harmony with nature.

The holy water in the Catholic Church and the water used for baptism represent the healing powers of water.

According to Freud, a water dream is often the memory of our life in our mother’s womb. And again, according to Freud, to come out of water represents the image of birth. Water for him was always connected to birth.

General Meaning: The force that brings about the washing in our lives.

The Word of God and the anointing are both depicted by Water in the Scriptures.

• Positive: Being washed with water speaks of being cleansed and of putting things behind you. It also speaks of being cleansed from your sin.

• Water is a picture of the anointing. John 4:14 Water is also a picture of the Word of God, and how it sets us free from the dirt in our lives.

• Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the [rhema] word, • To water something means to nurture it and to give it life.

If you are in ministry, then it means that you should be watering the seeds that have been planted in the hearts of God’s people.

• This is primarily a teaching function, just as Apollos functioned in.

• 1 Corinthians 3:61 have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

Negative: Water that is bitter or dirty speaks of a contamination, likely stemming from bitterness.

• It speaks of those that really do have a ministry, but unfortunately are in deception. They have allowed some things in their life that are not of the Lord.

• To dream of being in unclean water speaks of the things you are getting involved in.

• Instead of walking in the spirit, by getting involved with these things or feeding on things that are not of God, you are contaminating your spirit.

• It could also indicate that the ministry you have been receiving is not pure and directly from the Lord. Some of it is tainted with the flesh and man’s ideas.

• When I train God’s leaders I share how the Lord takes them through training to get rid of their own ideas.

• The revelation and the anointing that God gives is pure when it comes from your spirit. However if your mind is filled with things of the world or your own ideas, you end up tainting that word. Then what comes out is only a part Christ, and the rest is your own ideas!

Water is the universal symbol for emotions. How water looks and behaves in a dream is very significant. Here are some meanings for different water dreams: A dream of drinking cold water is a sign of good luck. Throwing or spilling water on anyone indicates a need to control your temper. Hot water foretells a season of social setbacks. Hearing or seeing running water predicts lasting happiness. Rising water indicates rising emotions.

A waterfall in your dream forecasts a happy rise in social status. Turbulent, choppy waters, in which a dreamer fears being swamped or drowning, symbolizes that you are being overwhelmed emotionally. Tidal waves may symbolize specific threats that loom in the distance. Being caught in a swift moving current suggests being swept up in your emotions. Cloudy water suggests lack of emotional clarity. Gently flowing water promises contentment and peace of mind. Clean, clear water suggests good sense and emotional clarity.

If you dream that you are able to breathe underwater, you are open to unconscious feelings and psychic awarenesses.

If you dream of having the power to control water, this symbolizes your spiritual and intellectual growth. You are not using your full potential - you have considerable energy and mental abilities, and you need to start using them to put your thoughts into action. Controlling water in a dream may also indicate a need to control your temper better.

To dream of walking on water means that you have supreme control over your emotions. It may suggest that you should keep your emotions contained, so they don’t explode. This dream can also symbolize faith in yourself.

Water is the ultimate symbol of emotions in a dream. It also connects to things that rise up out of the unconscious mind. In fact, it could be said that emotions themselves are evidence of something that is occurring in the unconscious mind. In this way, water connects to both emotions and the unconscious. Human beings are made up of a great deal of water, and the welling up of feelings can cause this precious liquid to leak inexplicably out of your eyes in the form of tears. In this way, the presence of any water in a dream is asking you to consider the emotional side of your nature.

The larger the body of water, the more feelings the dream is expressing.

If the water is potentially overwhelming or dangerous, as in a tidal wave or waterfall, then the sense of danger must be added to your interpretation, as we are often afraid of feelings when they are greater than we think we can handle. Feelings flow and so does water, so the quality of movement of the water in your dream is pointing out the way in which you are experiencing your emotions.

A slow creek is like a small amount of emotional flow that is significant but sustaining and calming.

A raging river is more like the force of feelings that are much more intense and, if not navigated well, can be dangerous to your sense of well-being. Rain is the most like tears, and weather patterns in dreams that involve water may be pointing out the way you are experiencing or avoiding the easy flow of emotions associated with some current life experience.

To dream of clear water, foretells that you will joyfully realize prosperity and pleasure.

If the water is muddy, you will be in danger and gloom will occupy Pleasure’s seat.

If you see it rise up in your house, denotes that you will struggle to resist evil, but unless you see it subside, you will succumb to dangerous influences.

If you find yourself baling it out, but with feet growing wet, foreshadows trouble, sickness, and misery will work you a hard task, but you will forestall them by your watchfulness.

The same may be applied to muddy water rising in vessels.

To fall into muddy water, is a sign that you will make many bitter mistakes, and will suffer poignant grief therefrom.

To drink muddy water, portends sickness, but drinking it clear and refreshing brings favorable consummation of fair hopes.

To sport with water, denotes a sudden awakening to love and passion.

To have it sprayed on your head, denotes that your passionate awakening to love will meet reciprocal consummation.

The following dream and its allegorical occurrence in actual life is related by a young woman student of dreams: ``Without knowing how, I was (in my dream) on a boat, I waded through clear blue water to a wharfboat, which I found to be snow white, but rough and splintry.

The next evening I had a delightful male caller, but he remained beyond the time prescribed by mothers and I was severely censured for it.’’ The blue water and fairy white boat were the disappointing prospects in the symbol.

Material aspects: Water is usually taken in dreams to symbolize all that is emotional and feminine. Water can also stand for our potential and our ability to create a new life for ourselves in response to our own inner urgings. Water also represents cleansing, being able to wash away the contamination that we may experience in everyday life. Water appears so often in dreams as an image, with so many different meanings, that it is possible only to suggest some probable ones. Entering water suggests new beginnings and being immersed in water is a return to the womb and can suggest pregnancy and birth. Flowing water signifies peace and comfort, while rushing water can indicate passion. Deep water suggests the unconscious and can also indicate that we feel out of our depth, while shallow water represents a lack of essential energy.

To be on the water (as in a boat) can represent indecision or a lack of emotional commitment, while to be in the water but not moving can suggest inertia. Going down into water indicates a need to renew one’s strength, to go back to the beginning, while coming up out of the water suggests a fresh start.

Vision: Water dreams are always a symbol of a cleansing process and emotional stirrings.

If the water is clear, it means luck at work and in your private life.

If the water is muddy: don’t get involved in a questionable transaction—you are fishing in murky waters. Drinking freshwater: you are very healthy and will reach a ripe old age.

If the water is unsettled: expect the next few days to be likewise. Seeing your image reflected in the water: you are only fooling yourself. In a woman’s dream, luxuriating in water is a sign of a healthy attitude toward sex and an overall positive disposition.

See Also: Fish, Lake, Ocean, Pond, River.

Depth Psychology: Water is the symbol of life-giving and life-preserving energies and always a sign of your emotional state.

The condition of the water tells whether your emotional state is positive or negative.

The color of the water is also important (See Also: the chapter“Colors in Dreams”).

See Also: Swimming.

Dreams about water are associated with emotions, sexuality, cleansing, healing and that you are exploring the infinite depth of your unconscious mind. You are connecting with the essence of your being, and are going with the flow. Because water is associated with the cycles of the tides, it is also associated with your feminine energy. So, if you dream of water spilled all over the floor, then this represents that your feminine side, emotions or creativity are feeling out of control.

If water is contained in a glass or jar, then you may be feeling that your feminine side, emotions or creativity is being suppressed.

If water is flowing, as in through a hose or river, then this symbolizes that you feminine side, emotions and creativity is in full flow. Keep in mind, that you are, after all, comprised of 90% water.

(1) Water may symbolize emotion or psychic energy.

It is therefore important to notice whether the water is free-flowing or stagnant (or frozen: see Ice), clean or foul.

(2) Water is a common symbol of fertility, growth, creative potential (especially if it takes the form of a reservoir or still lake), new life, or healing.

(3) It is also a symbol of the unconscious, especially if it is deep.

(4) It is a feminine symbol, representing either your own femininity (whether you are male or female), or your mother.

It is therefore important to note your reaction to the water in your dream. Are you afraid of water in real life? This may mean you are afraid of women (if you are a man), of your mother, or of your unconscious.

The meaning, of course, depends on the de- tails and the action, but as a general guide, clear calm water is a favorable omen, while rough or murky wa- ter signifies difficulties. A dream of drinking cold water is a! sign of good luck, but throwing or spill- ing it on anyone indicates a need to control your temper. Hot water (unless it is appropriate to the ac- tion) portends a season of social and/or business set- backs, but running water predicts lasting happiness. A waterfall in your dream forecasts a happy rise in status and/or an imminent increase in material wealth. Gently flowing water promises contentment and peace of mind.

Water is such a life giving force that it symbolizes the flow of life energy itself.

It is a rather mysterious substance, given that it has the ability to flow through, over and round objects. It has the quality of being able to wear away anything that gets in its way. It can symbolize spiritual rebirth. In baptism, water is a cleanser of previously held ‘sins’, often also those inherited from the family. You might also like to consult the entries for boat / ship, drowning, emotions, lagoon / lake and swimming as well as the information on great mother and shadow in archetypes in the introduction.
