A person who dreamed of drowning in a dream may wake up in cold sweat and horror. Why you dream about this depends on many circumstances. However, sometimes a dream is not so much frightening as it suggests certain thoughts. In this case, psychologists advise to figure out what exactly caused its appearance.
In the article we will look at what the image means, why you dream of seeing yourself or another person drowning, and also how to interpret a vision in which you yourself are drowning someone.
Subconscious
The human subconscious perceives death in water very emotionally.
Most often, such a dream is frightening and causes wild panic, due to which the sleeper wakes up. This image is usually associated with something negative, since it embodies hidden fears, complexes and negative emotions.
If you dream of your own drowning, it means that you are in a state of depression, loss of strength, or simply tired of the struggle that you have to wage. In addition, the dream may be a reflection of a new passionate feeling that has gripped you. It’s as if you are drowning in this love, unable to oppose anything to it.
Another subconscious interpretation of the symbol is that you are afraid of losing control over what is happening. In reality, you prefer to act quickly and harmoniously, but you are always worried that you will not be able to cope with this or that task. This often pushes you to your limits and causes harm to your body.
If you are afraid of drowning in a dream, why is this dreaming - a feeling of defenselessness that does not allow you to feel confident in the future. At the same time, you are afraid of the vast expanse of the sea - you are afraid to leave your comfort zone, trying to limit yourself within certain limits. You are going to the bottom of the pool - on the contrary, you cannot stand the boundaries and feel that they are pressing on you.
Saving a drowning person is a sign that you are always ready to come to the aid of a person, without thinking about how this will affect your life. You are used to fighting, and not waiting for mercy from fate.
Why drown in a river or sea in a dream?
Did you dream about drowning in a river, especially a stormy and muddy one? Difficulties with finances will begin, you will find yourself in a difficult situation. If someone has thrown a lifeline, seek support from friends or family. If the water was clean and warm, you can prepare for a very pleasant event. Drowning in the lake symbolizes a love affair that will captivate you.
Why do you dream that you drowned in the sea? This is a sign of excessive immersion in dreams, fantasies, and unrealistic plans. The same plot hints at an incredible influx of work. In addition, drowning means abruptly ending a relationship with a specific person.
People's dream book
The classical interpreter deciphers the images depending on what the body of water looked like in which the accident occurred, as well as on who was drowning at that moment:
- going to the bottom yourself - to an accident that may happen to you in the near future;
- to escape and swim ashore - to prosperity, prosperity and a solution to all problems;
- you yourself came to the aid of a drowning man - at the right time you will provide support to your friend;
- if the water was cloudy, then this promises a serious illness, the treatment of which will take a lot of time and effort;
- drowning in crystal clear water and experiencing neutral emotions rather than panic is a sign that you will make a profit;
- if one of your relatives plays the role of a drowned person, in reality you will be able to achieve what you want only by putting your own happiness on the line;
- drowning a person means liberation;
- you pulled a drowning man to shore, gave him first aid, but he never woke up - in a relationship with your significant other, be prepared for a cooling of feelings;
- the drowned man also symbolizes upcoming losses and misfortunes that will happen to the dreamer.

Freud's Dream Book
In the interpretation of the famous psychoanalyst, the image most often speaks of the presence of some problems in his personal life. If you go to the bottom due to the fault of your loved one, it means that not everything is going smoothly in your relationship. You may have a big quarrel, but the scandal will eventually end in a stormy reconciliation.
For a woman in this position, a dream in which she drowns indicates that she is worried about the possible outcome of childbirth. If you take care of your health, they will end successfully.
In addition, Freud believed that a recurring dream is a manifestation of a person’s subconscious fear of family life. You are not yet ready for a family relationship. But saving someone means that you are not afraid to enter into a legal marriage with this person and have a child.
Sure?
Are you planning to kill a small child in the night? The dream book believes that you are ready to be tough and even cruel in relation to others.
Drowning a child in a dream warns of illnesses, unexpected complications and various problems. Did you happen to see that you were trying to revive a choking child? Family life will be filled with boredom, misunderstanding and mistrust.
Did you kill a baby in your dream? The dream act symbolizes a voluntary renunciation of prospects and endeavors. But if you managed to drown your own daughter, then after a period of trials happiness will certainly come.
Miller's Dream Book
Miller believed that going to the bottom in a dream means that in reality you are in serious danger. It may be associated with a serious illness or loss of material well-being. If in a dream you were able to swim ashore or someone helped you escape, then you will climb the career ladder and gain good health.
A vision in which you yourself come to the aid of someone signals that you have received a well-deserved reward. It also suggests that you can help a loved one find well-being. For a young girl, a dream in which she sees her loved one drowning predicts disappointment and melancholy.
Why do you dream of drowning in a swamp?
Drowning in a bolt in a dream is very bad. In reality, serious health problems will arise. It is also a sign of a difficult situation, hopelessness or habits that will ruin your life. At the same time, the plot can reflect fatigue from everyday life, the dullness of life, melancholy, boredom.
Death in the swamp marks an event that will be a real shock, an upheaval. Most likely, this will be caused by the betrayal of a close or well-known person.
There are also more positive interpretations. Why else do you dream about drowning in a swamp? This means that you cannot hesitate, you must act decisively. Drowned in a bolt? In reality you will quickly get rich, for example, receive an inheritance or a big win. Slowly sank into the quagmire until they completely drowned? There's a lot of money to be spent.
Vanga's Dream Book
In Vanga’s view, drowning in most cases predicts some negative events. If a drowning person appears to you, this foreshadows the loss of property and other troubles. At the same time, he turned out to be someone you know - in reality he will commit an offense that will greatly upset you.
If you dreamed of a person who couldn’t get ashore, you have been in a depressed state for a long time. You cannot cope with negativity on your own, so it’s time to turn to loved ones for help. You came to the aid of a drowned man - in reality, someone in your environment needs friendly support.
Drowning yourself is a symbol of the fact that you are resisting familiar events, which is why you suffer and waste your strength and health. Seeing water flooding your home is a sign that you will soon have to digest a large flow of information.
What does the element of water mean?
Any water during sleep indicates living space, emotions and feelings, which very often a person does not learn to control.
The body of water in which you begin to plunge into the depths shows which particular area of life may seem dangerous to the dreamer, capable of dragging you down.
Often, before starting to fall in love, teenagers dream of a story in which they glide on the surface of water. However, in some situations the dreamer loses his balance and falls into the water, beginning to drown.
Or, looking at the surface of a reservoir, he begins to be very afraid that he will fall and the water element will take him headlong.
You should not be afraid of such dreams, since they simply mean the fear of plunging headlong into feelings, the element of your thoughts and desires. Or that love will take over you.
But in some situations, a vision of drowning in water becomes prophetic.
If you happen to drown in your dream while falling from a boat, bridge, or other surface, beware. There is a danger that you might actually fall into the water in some area, especially if it is familiar to you from a dream.
Therefore, try to follow all safety rules and avoid risky enterprises.
However, most often the plot in which the dreamer drowned in a dream does not pose a threat to his life, and it should be interpreted symbolically. This is what modern books write about this.
Loff's Dream Book
Loff, like most interpreters, negatively evaluates the appearing image. In his opinion, feeling your own drowning is a sign that you have to cope with numerous problems. It is possible that you have already entered a bad period and are trying to find a way out. You can do this if in your dream someone comes to the rescue and pulls you ashore.
In addition, the dream may warn that you rely too much on the opinions of others, forgetting to listen to yourself. Their advice is not always helpful. In some cases, they can only do harm.
Problems with property need to be resolved in a timely manner
Did you dream about water pouring into your apartment from above? Serious difficulties with property are possible, although at first they will seem insignificant. Try to take measures at the first alarm bells so as not to worsen the situation.
The dream book says: seeing in a dream how the neighbors from above were flooded is a hint that you need to be able to use in a timely manner. The problems are still small, so the dreamer can still solve them with minimal losses. To do this you need to show persistence and common sense.
Dream Interpretation of Adaskina
This dream book contains the following interpretations of the visions that appear:
- coming to the aid of a person going to the bottom is a symbol that you will find the happiness you deserve;
- for a young man, a dream in which his beloved is drowning predicts worries and troubles;
- for a woman to see the death of a loved one - to trouble;
- if you dreamed of your own drowning, this is interpreted in different ways. In one case, the dream warns of possible death, in the other, it says that you will be able to avoid serious danger;
- drowning someone yourself - you feel remorse for a serious offense and are trying to get rid of this feeling;
- for a married woman to see that her husband is playing the role of a drowned man is a sign that she will soon find out about his betrayal.
A woman
A drowned woman in a dream foreshadows changes in the love sphere. Moreover, they will be provoked neither by circumstances nor by the mind, but precisely by the heart .
Changes themselves can be different. You will either decide to have an affair with a person who previously did not like you, or break up with your partner, or, on the contrary, strengthen the union with rings.
