Water is viewed as the life giver in its many forms, it has the power to cleanse, change and instigate growth in its positive form. In its negative form it can create struggles and require you to use your energy and power to overcome its force. In dream language it is used widely as a conduit for our emotional energy, it can flow and ebb, get over, under, in and around any obstacle and the way in which water is shown to you in a dream can help you to understand your own or other people’s emotional transitions.
Fresh clear water links with fresh clean ideas and feelings; it gives us an idea of transparency and of being able to feel and see with an emotionally clear mind.
Water symbolises the cleansing away of negativity and the emotionally damaging energy!
Salty water symbolises mixed feelings and the sea is a useful symbol to translate the vastness of emotions and how they can be muddled or confused at times.
The waves and tides help to replicate the way emotions can wash in and out and affect the delicate layout of your life.
Murky or muddy water highlights confused or cloudy feelings and emotions which need time to settle.
Too much water simply equates to too many emotional issues to deal with, this usually causes an over-spill. Not enough water and you know that there is an emotional detachment which leads to a lack of growth or viability. Without water nothing can grow or move, places become barren and unlivable, water is an essential part of life and therefore to dream of a lack of water informs you that an essential part of your emotional processing has changed. Perhaps you are all cried out and your emotions have all but dried up through overuse.
Waterfall
A waterfall represents the power and flow of emotional energy over obstacles. Waterfalls provide moving energy and move your emotions to the place they are really needed, fresh waters!
Waves
Waves help to express the power of emotions and how they can wash over you; they are useful to represent the natural rise and fall of feelings in their intensity or waning.
Giant waves symbolises how you can be overcome by your emotions and this may affect everyone else around you
Waves can help to explain how emotions change the present set up that you have, they move the sand around and create a new different lay out. In cases like tsunamis the wave causes destruction and devastation which can have a profound effect on everyone it touches.
