What does seeing a tidal wave mean in a dream?

Seeing a tidal wave leaves you feeling a bit perplexed in the morning. I know after I've had a dream of a large wave I often see myself back in the dream over and over again. This dream is obviously playing on your mind which is well which is why you have found this page. My name is Flo I take great care and attention to every single one of my dream interpretations. I hope that you will see some clarity in what I'm about to say and it will be relevant to your life. If there are elements of this dream meaning that I haven't covered, which appears in your dream then don't hesitate to contact me in the Facebook comments box below. There is a range of different tidal waves that could appear in your dream. Normally though, the dream would not provide you with the type of wave but I think it's important to discuss them all the same.

What does it mean to see a wave on a river in a dream?

A tidal bore is basically a very large amount of water which conforms in a river or a small bay. Essentially, this is when the water gets sucked up and suddenly on a peaceful stretch of river, a large wave comes towards you. These are waves that actually get carried along the riverbank. Just the other day I was looking down at the river near where I live and I could see swirling currents and a wide range of tidal bores. Often, a tidal bore appears is what's known as a funnel shape it as if suddenly there is a ripple that comes on a very steel body of water. In regard to the dream if the water was still and you could suddenly see a large wave and this can indicate the you may encounter a sudden ripple in your affairs. The wave itself I believe can be defined as bringing emotional problems all constraints in your life. The most important thing I will say here though is that it's not to be feared. Often when we have dreams that appear to be worrying or complex in nature we can sometimes turn off and not recognize the “symbol.” What I am saying here is there is more to this dream and just a sudden emotional problem. You need to suddenly work through the problems that you currently have and find out what's important to you.

What does a tsunami mean in a dream?

The next, and I would say most famous tidal wave that could appear in our dream is a tsunami. We are all aware of the devastation that a tsunami can bring us, especially the devastation of the tsunami in 2004. Many places and people were homeless and caused quite an impact in Indonesia. The tsunami is not created based on nature itself. Often, we read news articles about tsunamis hitting places like Thailand and these are simply due to earthquakes. The word Tsunami is taken from the Japanese term “harbor wave” which is basically a tidal wave. What a tidal wave is, in short, is a series of water that comes together which is caused by a volcanic eruption. This is quite interesting when it comes to the symbolism in your dream. A volcanic eruption can indicate that a difficult time has passed. This situation could have been powerful - like it erupted. If you notice a tidal wave coming towards you in the shape of the tsunami then this can indicate that you may have experienced some highs and lows emotionally. If you actually see an underwater explosion in your dream that causes the tidal wave then this can imply a new phase of life. A tsunami is very different from normal oceanic waves and we can conclude that again, you may need to be on your guard emotionally. The difference between a tidal wave and a tsunami is spiritually the absence of air. Air spiritually represents our emotions and how we connect with other people. If there is something that you wish to create maybe you're looking for a business opportunity or idea then this is a great symbolism to have. The absence of air in a tsunami indicates from a spiritual perspective that because you dreamed of this wave you will find that your magical and creative abilities are somewhat blocked. In dream theory, the tsunami symbolism is a masculine symbol. I can conclude that this is due to the salt water. This corresponds to the male gender and archetype.

What does it mean to dream of extremely high waves?

The size of the tsunami can vary. Tsunamis generally cause a path of destruction and this is because of two reasons, firstly the fact the wall of water is traveling at significant speed and secondly the land before the tsunami appears to be pulled in. In the 2004 tsunami, many people stated that they could see the sea go in. To give you an idea how emotional this dream is the tsunami could be around 120 miles which is 200 km. Obviously, this is a vast distance. If all you could see the sky was a huge wave in your dream (as I have already outlined) then this dream is connected to your own emotions in life. Often, tsunamis can hit in fishermen villages which is why the name tsunami in Japanese means “harbor way”. Unfortunately, the tsunami can take a few minutes to reach an extremely big height. For this wave of rising in your dream indicates an emotionally charged time.
