Dream symbol · W
Water
Emotions, the subconscious, and the purification of old energies.
Dream interpretation
Water in a dream is a mirror of your emotions. Clear, calm water speaks of inner peace and clarity; murky or turbulent water indicates unconscious feelings that demand attention. The sea symbolizes the collective subconscious; the river—the flow of life; the waterfall—a powerful release. If you are swimming freely, you are in sync with the flow; if you are drowning, something in your waking life is overwhelming you, and it is time to ask for help.
