Many dream images, despite the pronounced negative context, are not at all as bad as they are commonly believed. Drowning in the sea is a sign of struggle with life circumstances, so the interpretation of sleep can be different. To understand why a drowning person dreams, you need to refer to several dream books. It will be useful to find out the opinion of psychologists.
I dreamed of drowning: interpretation of details
Water in night dreams foreshadows a variety of events, a lot of news. They have such a strong impact that they are a warning of danger or imminent problems. The wise element (one of the four main ones in astrology) is capable of revealing even the most significant secrets that trouble the sleeper in reality.
Finding yourself under water is a sign of upcoming troubles that create harmony in all areas of life.
If you dreamed that you started to drown, expect minor troubles or successes in the future. The specifics depend on the details.
Water condition value: clean, dirty
The space covered with liquid symbolizes the current trends in the dreamer's existence. The state of the dreamed abyss shows what energies are around.
Specifics from the sinking scenarios:
- clear water - pleasant chores, success at work;
- muddy - betrayal, lies, circumstances that are difficult to resist;
- transparent - cleansing, revealing burdensome secrets;
- dirty - failures will knock you out of the usual rhythm of life, enemy influence of a negative kind;
- icy - colds, poisoning, exacerbation of chronic diseases.
Drowning in the snow means good health and fulfillment of desires. In the dirt - deception of loved ones.
What was the pond like in the dream?
The image of the abyss reflects the potential of the individual. Each person is given tasks and a resource to solve them. The more space is filled with liquid consistency, the higher the potential.
Do you remember which body of water you stomped in in your dream? Hint details:
- The sea is a confusion in business, a protracted, exhausting routine.
- River - to fight difficulties and obstacles. The purest - for the help of outsiders. A muddy river means harm from the enemy, who is drawing you into a trap. Small - for exciting adventures.
- Lake - the time has come to implement plans. Transparent - implementation of plans without complications; dirty - with problems.
- Swimming pool - you need to get out of the usual framework and experiment. Try something completely new and unusual.
- The bathroom is a temporary obstacle. We need to fight. Then you will become closer to your dream.
- Ocean - the emergence of a chance to succeed, to become famous without much difficulty. Polluted - opportunities will be taken away; the purest - the universe will support.
- Reservoir - success in the office will cause the envy of colleagues.
- Well - vigilance is necessary to avoid falling for scammers. He prophesies reciprocity for lovers.
- Pond - to financial profit.
- An ice hole - to concluding a successful deal, improving well-being.
Finding yourself under ice in winter is a harbinger of harmony, happiness, and serious prosperity. But you can’t be mopey or lazy.
Symbolism and meaning of the image
At all times, water has represented purification, new life, joy and pleasure, however, the interpretation of dreams with a marine theme largely depends on their details, as well as on some other features. Seeing a drowning person in a dream, according to some ancient dream books, meant a warning of impending danger for the dreamer himself. Also, such a dream could indicate the following details:
- Someone close to you really needs the dreamer’s help.
- A person will have to take part in a risky event.
- A disease or pathology that develops without obvious symptoms. In some cases, respiratory tract disease cannot be ruled out.
- In the near future, the dreamer will find himself in an extremely awkward (shameful) position.
- A person's life is on the verge of serious changes. The dreamer will face difficult trials, but later the storm will subside, and he will be able to direct his ship of life along the right course.
- A major failure (if the dreamer did not have time to save the drowning person or drowned himself).
Sometimes a drowning person in a dream can represent the dreamer's need to help other people. In this context, a failed rescue indicates the futility and uselessness of such efforts in real life - the sleeper should first help himself, and only then save other people.
If in a dream there were huge waves that made it difficult to save a person, then this foreshadows the emergence of many minor troubles. You should be prepared for problems in areas related to human relationships.
For married people, such a dream can mean a dying marriage or the destruction of a relationship - contradictions will arise between spouses that will almost drown their relationship. Only a mutual initiative to save the family will help overcome this crisis.
Interpretation of developments
In reality, we react differently to the impact of the elements. When faced with the threat of losing their lives, some fight desperately, while others instantly give up. Dreams are useful because they show potential mistakes without realistic risks.
Decoding storylines:
- If a sleeping person managed to escape and swim ashore, then all problems will be resolved and things will improve.
- Getting out of the flood means overcoming complexes and making decisions that help make your dreams come true.
- It is covered by a big wave, and you will choke - you will fall under the influence of enormous passion. Fall in love.
- Experiencing lack of air is a sign of excessive practicality. The sleeping woman lacks romance and dreaminess.
- Someone deliberately drowns - to losses, losses. In reality, the dreamer cannot cope with the situation, does not know how to realize natural talents, or direct the potential of abilities in a positive direction.
- If you saw someone saving you, pulling you out of the abyss, you will need to ask a stranger for help. Otherwise, problems cannot be dealt with.
We woke up with the fear of suffocating under the water column - there are many interesting, exciting events ahead. It's time to plan your trip.
