We generally try to forget these horrible dreams as soon as possible for the anguish that make us pass. But it is a mistake, because nightmares contain a lot of information that we can take advantage of. This is the case of nightmares with water, with a very strong symbolism that we interpret in our Dream Dictionary.
Nightmares in water when you can’t
Water is one of those elements that appear frequently in our dreams and whose meaning we can extract valuable information. The nightmares in the water do not always begin as an distressing dream, but sometimes begin as a dream of pleasure swimming in the pool or in the sea.
Suddenly you feel that you start sinking, that you drown and you can’t breathe. This nightmare that you can feel as real and wake up with choppy breathing has an interpretation related to anxiety and your impression that you will not get ahead, that you will not be able to go to the surface or solve your problems.
Sometimes nightmares with water are wrapped in natural disasters that frighten you because they escape your control, like your own life, of which you have currently lost the reins. Floods, devastating waves or tsunamis are frequent when life surpasses you and you are about to give up.
When water does not appear in a nightmare, it acquires a meaning of purity and cleanliness, renewal. This meaning is transformed into an inner conflict if the water is dirty or stagnant that can cause you the worst sensations in your dream. The fear of sinking in dirty water is the fear you have not being able to find yourself.
