Drowning In Dreams And Depression
For over 50 years of interpreting dreams, I cannot think of a single person for whom I have interpreted dreams or had conversations about dreams with who hasn’t at least dreamt once of a dream of drowning.
To better learn about the dream meanings of drowning dreams and almost nearly drowning in dreams, first you must come to well understand what WATER actually represents in drowning dreams and dreams in general.
Clean, Clear Water Clean, clear water represents God, the Holy Spirit, forgiveness, compassion, purity of heart, physical and spiritual cleansing and healing. However, in some dreams water is symbolic of obstacles, difficult challenges and tests. In these types of dreams, the width of the area of the water determines the time frame or how long the dreamer will challenged. While the depth of the water body determines the extent of difficulty the test, obstacle, challenge or setback will have for the dreamer.
In most dreams involving drowning, the challenge or test that caused the dream relates to emotional, material, health and or unanswered spiritual questions. Conversely, it is not uncommon for dreams of drowning to affect our personal and financial lives, as a result of problematic situations that we find ourselves feeling trapped in and have not be able to find answer or solution.
One of the major reasons for the dreamer to have dreamed that he is drowning, under water or being pulled under water physically helpless to reach the surface represents a struggle involving the dreamer’s family, health, relationship, career, job or finances that is materializing in the dream depicted in the dreamer as the act of drowning. In the same way, emptiness, sorrow, remorse, self-pity, grief, loneliness, escape, giving up, depression, abandonment, emotional stress and a lack of spirituality often results in the dreamer experiencing dreams of drowning.
For The Christian: Although Christians and non Christians both can experience dreams of drowning for the same reasons, for the most part, when the average balanced Christian has a dream other than the ones mentioned represents a different set of challenges. These challenges can involve blessings or gifts that God is about to bestow upon them. Often, the blessing or gift will be determined by how well or to what degree the dreamer overcomes the challenge or testing of faith acted out in the dream.
In the same way, as with a non Christian, the Christian can also experience dreams of drowning because of backsliding, temptation or falling back into a bad relationship or an old habit and the dream of drowning is symbolic of God calling the Christian to repentance.
For the dreamer to dream he is drowning somehow managing to pull himself up to the surface by his own strength and resolve represents that despite the magnitude of the obstacle, problem or pressure he is feeling or facing, he will find an answer or solution by his faith in God, find his way back, resolving the problem, thereby taking back his life.
To Dive Into Clean Clear Water, to dive into clear water and the dreamer can see the bottom represents spiritual strength, stability, a self starter, creative thinker, foresight and the ability to plan ahead.
To Dive Into Dirty Murky Water: For the dreamer to dive into dirty or murky water not able to see the bottom represents a headstrong, illogical thinker; this dreamer does not think ahead or plan for the future. This is a self-centered, overly proud, selfish individual who thinks firstly about himself, his wants are and very is inconsiderate of others or their feelings.
For the dreamer to dream he is drowning or under the water or being pulled under Dirty or Murky water in a dream represents that he is involved in one or more of the following: guilt, deceit, lies, illusion, betrayal, back stabbing, gossip, secrets, manipulation of someone, sexual bondage/addiction, bad habits, or a hidden agenda and the guilt or the fear of being found out is surfacing in his dream life in the form of him drowning or nearly drowning in a dream.
