Water is a common theme in a dream: Here is what it means (Photos)

There are some common themes that everybody dreams about sooner or later. It is God's way of communicating with the dreamer at night because that is the time God can get the dreamer's attention.

There is a long list of common dream themes. There are too many to be put into one article; therefore, the most common themes will be covered in these articles one at a time.

We will begin with water since dreaming about water answers a lot of questions for the dreamer if the dreamer knows how to interpret the dream.

Water is the most universal symbol for our emotions because it represents the ebb and flow of life.

Water also represents the need for a cleansing in your life.

In order to give a more accurate interpretation, you must remember the form the water appeared in your dream.

Rising water indicates rising emotions. You are angry or upset about something unconsciously whether it shows openly or not.

Turbulent or troubled water in a dream when you are drowning symbolizes you are overwhelmed emotionally. You are over your head with something that is swallowing you up.

Cloudy water suggests you lack clarity about something. A situation is as clear as mud for you because you do not understand it.

Swimming or bathing peacefully in water means you are comfortable with what is going on in your life. To see clear water in your dream signifies that you are in tune with your spirituality. It denotes serenity, peace of mind, and calmness.

To see muddy or dirty water in your dream indicates that you are wallowing in your negative emotions. Your dream is telling you that you need to change from being negative to positive things in order to find inner peace. It is likely that your thought process is clouded and needs some sort of cleansing. Muddy water is not a good symbol. It suggest you need to remove all the heaviness in your life in order to see clearly.

If you are immersed in muddy water, then it indicates that you are in over your head in a situation and are overwhelmed by your emotions.

The next time you dream about water, notice the form the water takes. Then think about situations in your life that is paralleled to the form of water. Meditate on wht God is telling you through the water image.
