What it Means When you Have Dreams of Water
If you find yourself dreaming of a body of water like a lake, pond, ocean, brook or any body of water you must also consider what else is in the scene. Often dreaming of water or drowning can be associated with a negative element of your life such as debt. On the other hand, when you have dreams of water where the water is clear and smooth it can be a good sign of things to come. Maybe you’re dreaming of water where you are actually in the ocean which can be connected with an emotional situation. If you having recurring dreams of water it means you have a good or bad problem(s), based on what is really on your mind. It can take on an entirely different meaning if you have dreams of water where you’ve been forced to move suddenly away from water that you have become accustomed to living around. You may experience this several times in your sleep in the beginning.
Dreaming of Water Interpretations
WATER
Dreams of water that is cold is a lucky omen for man, woman, or child; but throwing it on anyone portends that you will be unpopular. If you have dreams of water that is hot in any form, it predicts a season of great trouble, both socially and in business.
WATERFALLS
To see beautiful a waterfall in when you have dreams of water it is a sign that you will be introduced to a nice and gracious man or woman who will be exceedingly kind to you.
WATERMELON
Eating watermelon is also associated with dreams of water and points toward a cruise in southern waters. If you dream of snapping the seeds at another person, you will find a small sum of money. A watermelon on the vine portrays the idea that you should be on your guard.
POND
A clear pond in which there are swans means wealth through industry. To see the reflections of trees and clouds in a pond indicates that you will develop a genius for addressing audiences. A muddy pond seen in dreams of water is a sign of a hilarious time with professional people.
OCEAN
An ocean voyage in dreams of water denotes an escape from a troublesome person. To swim in the ocean is a meaning of opportunity to relax from your cares and worries. If you look on the ocean when it is calm is an still it may be a meaning of prosperity, but if the sea is angry/ rough, it may mean business depression.
LAKE
Dreaming of a stormy lake means a disaster that, if you do not let it overwhelm you, will lead to eventual victory. If you are sailing on it and are overturned, you will have family troubles as well. To sail on the calm waters of a lake in fine weather is an augury of peace and interest in life. Sailing on a lake by moonlight could mean happy love affairs.
STORMY WEATHER
Dreams of water that include you being caught in a storm like rain or snow usually ties into discontent over a period of time. You will only be able to overcome this when you gain control over you destiny.
BAPTISM
To see John the Baptist baptizing Christ in the Jordan, indicates you will have a desperate mental struggle. Dreams of water of a baptism signifies that your character needs strengthening. If you are an applicant for baptism, you will be in danger of humiliating yourself.
RAFTING
When you have dreams of water on a raft that is floating on a slow moving river indicates that your indolence is causing you to fall behind in the procession of life. If you have dreams of water, in your dream you build a raft and launch it on fast, light waters, you will have reason to feel excited about the future.
Some people don’t remember dreaming at night but all people dream. Think about it, what was the dream you had? Researchers today have various schools of psychology around the origin of dream meanings. The all offer theories about the meaning of dreams. It is human nature to wonder about the what dreams mean. All of the dreams we have contain psychic dream meanings. People that have recurring dreams or nightmares should be taken seriously and professional help should be sought . It is helpful sharing and learning the meaning of dreams. Interpreting dream symbols and analysis can be often attained through psychic readings. If you’re really curious about what does your dream mean psychic dream meanings can really be enlightening. I am always interested in deciphering dreams. If you feel as though you must have your dream translated feel free to post a comment and I’ll do my best.

Raxy says
It was a weird dream. I was in a building which i never seen before. I was working in the office which I never seen before, then I was in the entrance of the corridor, which I never seen before with a girl I never seen before & took a hosepipe out of a murky water tank, which was at the corner of the corridor to show her an experiment. This was at the entrance corridor (L Shape coridor turning right into another room.) 2 tanks were next to each other, the left having 2 big plants that eat things, with their heads in the water, which was where I got the hose from, but near the smaller & right eating plant. The right tank was just full of water pipes mains. Before I put the hose back into the tank, the right eating plant got agitated & bit off the bigger plant by the root & possibly bit off the water mains pipe connecting to the second tank. Water started to pour out of both tanks fast & became like a dam & I moved both me & the girl back & stood on a higher ground near the entrance door. I was immediately screaming for help & the girl was calling a man in the room after the coridor, which was locked. The man who I’ve never seen before was hearing my call once whilst he was phoning the girl next to me (our call wasn’t going through because he was calling at the same time.) I stopped screaming for help only for the girl to ring again because he was about to head for the door from my call. He answered the phone & I told him to tell the rest of the people in the room to open all the windows & the door in the room leading to the field & once they done that, to head out either left or right, as he has to stand on a high ground on the right & open the door for the water to escape & to grab the girl from me. The agitated eating plant cut itself off the roots & came out of its tank to come for us 2. I decided to jump me & the girl into the water & was swimming towards the corner only to deliberately let the girl go as the current was going to pull the girl towards the man. By then the eating killer plant was at the entrance side coming towards me as I was now at the corner. The girl was saved by the man as I told him to grab her (was talking on the phone at the time to direct the man). Then I went to the second tank under water to put the mains off & once the water stopped falling out, i swam with the current for the man to save me on time before the eating plant nearly grabbed my foot. (We were all standing on the right, high) I on time grabbed a fire can from the shelf & quickly burnt the plant, only for it to suddenly be eaten by the bigger plant & that might have come for us too, so I burnt that too. The big eating plant fell out of the room into abyse as I followed & watched it fall & the water fell out too, like a dam whilst clearing & the water was now falling clearly. Ahead of the abyse was the field. Then me & the man made love, I’m guessing in his place.
The whole time in the dream, the water was murky till the end, when I burnt the plant & watched it fall into abyse & the water fell like a dam/waterfall, it was clear as it fell into abyse too as the water cleared up from me stopping the mains. However, I don’t remember the water dissappear completely, but only lessen & became clear water.
I’m married by the way, lol. However, waking up, I clearly remember the feeling of drowning, because I had this feeling twice before on previous dreams, which I don’t clearly remember, except drowning. What does this mean? (Please delete previous post named “Rakey” as that is from my email.)
Tamarhenn says
I dreamed I was standing on the edge of something big a round and it was full of water, deep water with no bottom. I started to slide around the top of the surface and all of a sudden I held my nose and jumped in!!! I guess I realized their was no bottom and started to swim back to the top and I woke up.. it seems like I wanted to take breaths under water but I just swam back up.
Alieen (Alie) says
I dreamt of a beautiful home that I was in awe of.. While walking around I saw a beautiful swimming pool with lights. I hesitated to go near, but then I thought maybe I should sit by it instead of getting in it. So then I poked my toes to test it thinking that it wo9 be cold, but instead to my surprise it was luke warm. So I sat there for a moment swishing my feet back and forth enjoying the moment think how blessed I was…
Kenneth Rex says
I had a dream last night about being a passenger of a car driven by my mother who passed away about 20 years ago. We were driving by the ocean taken in the calm beautiful waters. As we turned a corner the water levels were all of a sudden so high our car was over taken by water. Before waking up in a state of panic my first thought was to help my mother. In life she was parolized from the waist down from a car accident as a teenager
Mona says
Hi i dreamt this morning of something black rising in the ocean. The ocean was dark and angry roaring. The water was rising and i know its a sunami and it will cover the land and destroy everything. So i called out to a friend to hurry up get into our jeep so we can leave. We drove up to the road of this mountain and parked up there and we could see the angry ocean and whatever was rising from the ocean was coming out slowly and dark…and the water was rising as well. I was so scared knowing that it would kill alot of people…

Risa chrestensen says
Well I just took a nap and whenever I do so, I keep my dream journal on my coffee table. When I awoke half an hour later, I immediately recorded my dream. Here it goes:….. I was breathing underwater, as I was in a video game. I was racing against myself in a game I do not recall. There was another section for another player, but it was only me. One of the the strangest parts was that I wasn’t even sure what I was, nor what I was racing as. A turtle I think. I forgot. But then the weirdest thing happened. I WAS RACING AGAINST MY TELEVISION REMOTE CONTROL! But it lost due to it crashing into a sea creature. All of a sudden, the race track began to crack and sink. To be honest, I felt really sad. I thought of my mom and dad’s divorce and how my dad became a meth-head as I watched two turtles swim away from me. I felt a bit… Forgotten. I then awoke as it began getting harder to breathe when I sank deeper.
Olwen says
I had short but very vivid dream of lake with water so brown and muddy you could not see into it at all. I was in the water with two dogs one of them a puppy and all I could see was their black noses swimming on the surface. In the dream we come out of the water but I am even in the dream aware that this dream has a meaning.
mom3plus2 says
good morning,
I dreamt that I was on (in) a boat type environment. we boarded. then the water was overtaking us ( there was a mom, child and seemed to be a father type person (granddad, and his daughter). I immediately grabbed the child and shielded him from the water. His mom worried. the gentleman was calm… he then told his daughter to relax, he is fine, and she began to calm down. then it happened again. the (male child) seemed unfazed by the events that was happening… this went on about 3 times. the end of the dream his mom and (grand dad) thanked me. I smiled and walked away. The child said that was fun, can she come with us again.
Matt says
I had a dream where I was trying to sail in a raft during a stormy sea but I couldn’t get going so I went and waited on the shore but I kept getting splashed with water but I didn’t feel angry or anything bad instead I felt happy or glad because I love the water splashing at me and everything. What does that mean.

Arnetha Brown says
Im always having dreams that I am around a big mass of water and the water is calm. Sometimes I’m in the water swimming or at the bottom of the ocean but im not drowning just trying to swim to the top. Or I may be in a boat coming down a river but the water would be so rough. I do know every night i dream about water! What does this mean?
Kusemererwa Brenda says

This signifies that something you do may be unsafe.
Shameeka says
Hello I had a dream that I was visiting family I don’t even speak to. An 1,female around 6 or 7 years old turned on the hot water an was laying in the bathtub when I found her which another sibling was standing there watching her lay there with the hopes just running on her. When I came in the bathroom and seen him standing there I said what are u doing and grabbed her out of the water she was lifeless. I started screaming oh my god cash 911.then get grandmother came in an said you have to take the blame for this in not getting in trouble. But she was really calm, I didn’t understand what was going on and how she was so calm about what was going on. Why would I dream about a child drowning on hot water and what does that mean?
Jada says
I had a dream last night and there was water throughout at different points. I usually dream in stories, and if i wake in the night, it’ll start over and play again with slight differences. The first time water appeared in my dream last night, i was playing an old friend, a new friend, and the new friend’s younger sibling in the ocean (the old friend was the only one i know in real life, and she turned into someone i didn’t know in the second dream). At some point i lay on the beach and fell asleep, but it felt real. I could see the muted brightness of the sun through my eyelids. Then suddenly i couldn’t breathe and i woke and the tide was washing up over me, and the little kid was standing there shouting my name like he’d been trying to wake me up; and i just got up and started splashing around with him as if i hadn’t just almost drowned in my sleep. Then we got on a big boat and went out, but at some point it became a wooden raft and we weren’t in the ocean anymore; it was more like the swamps in the southern US, with still, deep, and dark water, but tall thin trees like Washington state. There was ground everywhere, and frosted-over grass and mud bank. And this is where it gets hazy for me.. the kid died, i know. He drowned because he fell off the raft. I don’t know what led up to it or why i didn’t save him; I’m a fairly good swimmer and would’ve passed the lifeguard course in high school if i hadn’t moved away. And i remember there being water again after that but it was small and must’ve been insignificant if i can’t remember any details..
kerrie says
I dreamed of moving into a house with my son and the first night I saw a ghost, I followed her to the bathroom and she got into the bath then ran the water, she drown herself but the water spilled out I ran and ran to my room and climbed onto my bed as the water rushed in behind me, I noticed the water didn’t wet anything so I realised it wasn’t real too.
I started to investigate the ghosts life and why she died I later found out that it was murder and not suicide and that the two men I knew were suspects.
But I never seen the person of the ghost or the men in my waking life.
Amanda Kendall says
I had a dream that water was being poured over my face. In my dreamed I gasped and it woke me up. I remember nothing else about the dream. Went right back to sleep. No racing heartbeat or anything. I wonder what that means?
Michael says
Amanda, I’ve just been flicking through these fantastic dreams trying to find one that fitted in with my ‘problems’ when I came across yours. My first thought was sleep apnoea. I’ve had that once where you feel absolutely smothered and then you wake up in a panic. Just an idea if it happens again to get checked out by a doctor. Rgds,
Ross says
I have recurring dreams of water where I’m on a raft going through dark water that is dark and I can’t see through it. And I try not to let myself touch the water because I don’t know what’s in it and it freaks me out. In reality I hate swimming in water that I can’t see through. Then I have dreams where I’m looking down a waterfall in the forest with beautiful moss covered canyon walls that surround the waterfall and calm waters. The water is clear so I’m not afraid to jump the hundred feet or so into the water. I jump in and I have no fear and just feel so at peace. In reality I love clear water. I don’t know what it all means.

I dreamed living in an apt building.. I was takiing care of an elderly lady I know (who is now deceased). We were told the bililding has a pipe burst & was flooding the building. I quicky gathered the lady up some clothes & some men helped remove her from the apartment to safety.
I stayed behind to gather up other items we would need, for a longer evacuation, when i noticed the water was quickly rising in our apartment. I tried to gather it up but didnt have a big enough container. I left the items behind and began to run out into the hallways but could see the water coming up higher, into the windows so i had to run out the fire escape, that was dry, I was the only one, to my suprise, occupying it.
I came out of the stairway to a beatuiful day, safe & dry!!

Robin says
I just had a dream that I was in the ocean up to me waist, so maybe wearing a pfd, not sure, and I knew I was too tired to swim to shore or anywhere, and all around me were lots of boats, including red ones (the color of Tow Boat US) who could have rescued me, including one that motored right by me….the trouble was I couldn’t yell the word HELP and it was the thought of scaring people, but knowing if I didn’t I would probably sink.
Any thoughts?
Jennifer says
My mom’s late husband drowned 40 years ago. 2 Weeks before the accident, my mom experienced a few things with water. When she would bath or do dishes, the water started out by burning her skin. After several days of this, it got so bad the water sparked and she could actually see the sparks when she got near any water at all. Then her husband drowned.
I don’t know if it is because I think about her story often, or what but every single night I dream of deep dark water in some form or another. And the dreams are never serene. I am always afraid, scared or worried or anxious in some form or another. Ex: I was in a flood under a bridge hanging on, my son drowning in a flooded basement, on a deep green colored ocean like setting on a rocking boat.
Bre says
All my water dreams are different. Different bodies of water and different situations. Some are about my children drowning and some just have bodies of water in the back ground. But water is always there in large amounts. Lake, pond, ocean…..ect. Most always by where I’m living in my dream.
Maria says
I had a dream about me being on a boat on a rives and in front of me there where two rivers but I was undecided which way I should go. I had no control over the boat but one way the water was turning dirty and soapy (contaminated)that one seemed to pull me. the other was clean and smooth and it felt like that one was the right one. I was scared in my dream to make the wrong turn just by looking at the way it seemed cause I did not know if it was the right one, so I tried very hard to go back to where I came from, all of a sudden the water was running really fast and I stopped and pulled myself to the land. I entered a room and looked through the keyhole and saw myself when I was younger and with my first boyfriend (me young and unexperienced) sitting at a table with him. At this moment I decided I had to go back to the river and take the clear smooth turn, and I think in my dream I realized that I did not want to go back and I did not want to be with this person and I did not want the drama so I went the way I choosed, calm, smooth, clean, and relaxed ride on the river and I was so happy and relieved. Can you please tell me what this really means? Thank you
