Is seeing water in a dream is good or bad?

Water in dreams can have both positive and negative interpretation depending on the details of the dream. As one of the four elements of life, water is an important symbol in dreams and just like any other symbol can denote good and bad situations, feelings, issues, and situations. As I have mentioned in the opening paragraph it is of my opinion the water if clear represents peace and contentment. If murky then difficulties are likely to happen. I am sure you know that our bodies are mostly made up with water, and therefore this wonderful element gives us life. There are five Greek elements in the spiritual realm which are: fire, air, water and finally earth. The element of water is connected to peace, happiness, healing and clearing our own thoughts.

What does it mean to dream about water?

Water can appear in many different ways in our dream. For example, the ocean, a freshwater lake, the tap, rain or even a storm. Water challenges us in regard to the dream interpretation. What I will say is it is connected to our own emotions. Heavy rain falling down on you in a dream can indicate that you are feeling a sense of being calm. Water can display itself as being a beautiful element, powerful, calm and still. If the water was however uncontrollable then this denotes (in ancient dream dictionaries) a sign of difficulties, especially in controlling emotions. If you see white water rafting, long deep rivers, choppy sea water, raging waterfalls that are uncontrollable in this type of water invokes a sense of danger in regard to your emotions. To dream about water represents our deepest emotions, denotes our emotional state and reflects how we are feeling at the very moment. The dream interpretation depends on the details you notice in your dream. The water dream might warn you of turbulent times ahead. If you notice a river valley tumbling its way down to the sea then this can indicate a possible feeling of being out of control of your emotions. If the skyline indicates a forthcoming shower of rain then this implies that something is coming emotionally into your life shortly. To walk along a path which follows the river indicates your psyche is connected to mother nature. A rainy day in a dream can indicate you may come into contact with an aspect of someone’s characters which may result in many moods. A river where the water manifests as clear and pure is a reflection of the joys of life. If murky, then the river in this instance indicates that someone is going to turn to you for advice. The sea carries a whole new meaning as we also have the power of the waves created by the moon. The moon represents dishonesty spiritually. Generally, waves in dreams are powerful indications that emotions are out of control. You may find a vast amount of changes when you dream about large waves.

The answer is yes. It can also indicate a situation that you have encountered during the day. A traditional example is that you’re in the grocery store and you see a mother yelling at her three-year-old child and the child is crying. Your heart just goes out to the little girl and maybe also to mother - the whole sadness of the situation enters your mind and you feel completely helpless because you don’t see that there is anything you can do. This is emotional connections that you have in daily life that you might have closed your heart to. Our hearts usually shut down in this situation as we are helpless, but in your “subconscious” mind you noticed this situation and the scene in your mind replace emotions as dirty water in your dream.

As I have closed on the above paragraph, it is important that the understanding of universal suffering may play on your dreams and be seen as “water” and interestingly there is a need to be aware of our own thoughts and what we are exposed to in daily life.
