Introduction
Some say our dreams are the gateway between two parallel universes— the one where our conscious mind rules, and another where our subconscious mind does. If you’ve been having dreams about water lately, you’re far from alone. In fact, dreams about water are so common, and yet have so much variety, that they encompass a whole dream category of their own.
So while the best way to determine the meaning behind your dream is to consult with a dream expert, there are some universal themes that can help you figure out a few things on your own. Read on to discover what these common water themes mean.
If you would prefer to speak to a dream expert right away, Keen has over 20 psychics to choose from – plus, the first 5 minutes of your reading are only $1.
Common Water Dreams Explained
Dreams about Drowning
Drowning often emerges in stress-related dream, like to scenarios involving teeth loss or navigating steep hills. If you can recollect the details of the dream, it aids in pinpointing what triggers your stress. For instance, if you find yourself as the drowning, reflect on the circumstances causing it. Are turbulent waters hindering your ascent to the surface? Dreams of this nature typically symbolize stressors that are beyond your control.
If you find yourself drowning, weighed down by an invisible anchor, it’s likely that stress is closely tied to someone or something holding you back in your life. While your conscious mind might resist acknowledging it, your subconscious is acutely aware of this burden. Sometimes, the most significant obstacles are those we hesitate to confront directly.
And finally, if you dream that you’re seeing someone else drown, you should try to identify two important things: do you know the person, and are you able to help them? If it’s someone you know, then this dream is likely the source of stress that you are experiencing due to a conflict with this person. If you don’t know them, the source of your stress is likely an internal struggle. And whether or not you’re able or willing to help this person will reveal to you your inner feelings about this conflict.
Dreams about Breathing Underwater
Just because you’re underwater in your dream doesn’t necessarily mean you’re drowning. Another common water dream is being underwater and finding that you’re perfectly capable of breathing as if you were on the surface. These dreams differ from drowning dreams in that they represent inner peace, curiosity, and the exploration of new opportunities.
If this is the type of water dream you’re having you should consider which areas of your life offer potential for growth. Getting insight from a qualified dream analyst on Keen is especially helpful in this situation. A dream psychic can offer an objective perspective and point out areas in your life that have potential you hadn’t previously considered.
Dreams about Washing with Water
Another common water dream involves washing yourself, or an object, clean. This might manifest in the form of washing your hands, or your clothing, and attempting to get rid of dirt or other stains. Depending on the way the dream goes, this can either be a stress dream, or a dream about rebirth and new beginnings.
The first thing you should consider is what it is that you’re trying to wash, and what is making it dirty. These two symbols play a key role in helping you understand the meaning behind the dream. If you succeed in cleansing whatever it is that you’re trying to wash, then your dream represents a successful transition to something better in your life. If you’re unable to remove this stain, this is a type of stress dream that speaks to feelings of anxiety that you are failing at something in your life.

Conclusion
There’s a reason why we wake from our dreams, and for those first few seconds, we find ourselves disoriented or confused. Sometimes our dreams feel so real, that we’re not so sure we can tell the difference between something that actually happened, and something we just imagined. And the reason for this is that our dreams have a significant impact on our state of mind and our lives, regardless of whether or not we choose to believe they do.
That’s why consulting with a dream analysis expert can lead us to discover the meaning behind these visions, and help us live fuller lives, connecting our conscious and subconscious minds.
