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 understand drowning or coming close to drowning in dreams, you must first understand what WATER actually means 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: Christians and non Christians alike can experience dreams of drowning for the same reasons. But for the whole, the normal faith-based Christian has dreams different than the above mentioned, which represents an entirely different and unique set of challenges. Challenges involve blessings and gifts that God wants to bestow upon His people. Often, the blessing or gift will be determined by how cleanly or to what degree the dreamer comes out victorious through and after the end of the challenge or test of faith shown 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 be dreaming he is drowning yet, somehow manages by his own strength and determination to pull himself back up to the surface represents that despite the magnitude of the obstacle, problem or pressure he is feeling or facing in the natural world, he will find an answer or solution, and find a way to resolve the problem restoring his life back to normal.
To Dive Into Clean Clear Water, to dive into clear water, where the dreamer can see the bottom represents strength, stability, a self starter, knowledge, information, education, foresight and the ability to plan ahead.
To Dive Into Dirty Murky Water: For the dreamer to dive into dirty or murky water and he does not see the bottom represents a headstrong person who abandons logic, acts hastily and the dreamer does not think ahead or plan for the future. He is self-absorbed, prideful, selfish, thinks only of himself, what he wants and he is not considerate 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, lies, deceit, illusion, betrayal, back stabbing, gossip, secrets, manipulation of someone, sexual bondage/addiction, bad habits, or a hidden agenda and the guilty feelings or the emotion of the fear of being discovered is surfacing in his dream in the form of him drowning or almost drowning portrayed in a dream.
