Water in a dream is a person’s emotional state during the events they see in the dream. By its appearance, quality, condition, volume, color, and location, one can determine what state a person will be in — emotional, mental, and even physical.
If you dreamed of water, the dream shows your emotional state and the events awaiting you.
If you want to check your symbols, go to the dream interpretation app. We even have dreams that are not in any dream book, because these are not invented symbols, but real ones that came true. It contains thousands of confirmed stories, a complete database of fulfilled dreams, and more than 7,000 symbols with interpretations that are not publicly available.
Clear, dirty, muddy, bubbling water
Clear water is a symbol of health, well-being, and prosperity. Dirty water is a symbol of illness, hardships, and humiliation. Muddy water indicates doubts, confusion, and uncertainty. Bubbling water is a period of change, of many events happening at the same time, of anxieties, of raging passions.
Check the symbols in the app. Each symbol has its own meaning. Check all the details of your dream. Don’t search on the website, search in the app — it has more than 7,000 dream-decoding symbols that are determined based on analytics of thousands of fulfilled dreams from the project.
Cold, hot, icy water
Hot water, boiling water — stress, emotions spiraling out of control, capable of causing irreparable damage and having consequences.
Cold, icy water — a sober mind, cold feelings, control of emotions, in a positive aspect. It often appears in dreams during periods when a person is trying to emerge from a time of difficulties and illnesses. If the cold water appeared clear in the dream, the dream is about healing. It can also be a symbol of time and indicate a period of action, the cold season (if the water in the dream is in some natural springs).
In a negative aspect, icy, frozen water can indicate a cooling of relationships, divorces, and partings.
The symbols of ice, snow, and winter, frozen and ice-covered bodies of water have a different meaning. Look them up separately in the dream book.
Location of the water
An important aspect is the location of the water. If it is in a vessel, it reflects the emotions, state, and feelings of a specific person or people (if the vessel is for shared use).
Cups, glasses, goblets, bowls — all of these are dishes for one person (correspondingly, if there were several of them, for several people). So in the dream it is an indication of the one who owned this dish and used it.
Water in milk cans, buckets, vases, and so on, by analogy, is an indication of the affairs and state in the family (it relates to a group of people united by a certain characteristic: family, team, group of people, and others).
Water in natural bodies of water is an indication of more global events in the life of a person, family, or couple. It is determined by the characters present in the dream or the location of such a body of water. The larger the body of water, the more global and significant the events. Read each symbol separately in the dream book, as they all have their own special characteristics and aspects.
Spilling water in a dream
Spilling water in a dream, pouring it out — means worries, expenses, troubles, or emotional distress. It depends on how much you spill and how much remains. If it’s a couple of drops, small troubles. But if it’s a lot, then the troubles will be quite big, as will the losses, expenses, and costs.
Swimming, springs, fountains, wells
Sometimes you dream that swimming takes place at night. Such a dream predicts future events that are so far only visible intuitively. The second option is events hidden and unknown to everyone, but you yourself will soon learn about them.
Water in a spring is a rare dream and a very good one. Such dreams occur in cases when some kind of help is needed, and most often healing. So, your dream says that you will be able to receive or achieve what you desire.
Water in a fountain — means joyful events, fun, and a multitude of positive emotions that will charge you for a long time and restore your health (for the sick).
A well with water appears in a dream to signify significant changes in your material, financial state. You will be able to improve it. This is a very good and firm symbol. That is, no one and nothing will be able to hinder your well-being.
A threat from water is the inability to cope with feelings. This can happen for various reasons. The destructive power of water is the destructive power of feelings and emotions. When, spiraling out of control, they guide a person rather than the other way around.
Jumping, diving, falling into water
Jumping, throwing yourself, diving into water in a dream means danger and often rash, spontaneous actions on the part of the person. The expression “headfirst into the whirlpool” is apt here. However, it may concern not only personal relationships, but also any other sphere of life. In general, it can be an unjustified risk. Although one can judge by the ending of the dream.
But if in a dream you were pushed into water or you fell into it, then the danger is accidental, unexpected, and this threat comes from a quite specific person (it was they who pushed you in the dream). If you drowned or could not get out of the water, it means troubles and a hopeless situation. If you swam on, got out of the water, then you will get out of the situation too, you will be saved.
If someone is drowning you in water in a dream, then in life someone will be able to (or will try to, as you saw in the dream) bring you to ruin, get you fired, or simply destroy your life.
If a child is drowning in water
If in a dream you saw a child drowning in water or a child fell into the water, then in reality you will have a problem that will be very difficult for you to cope with. Mainly because of emotional imbalance. The situation will knock you off balance so much that you will not be able to react adequately, unable to cope with your emotions. Now, knowing about this, you can influence the situation, since you know what its essence is.
It will be very good if you save the child, pull him out of the water, do not let him drown. In that case, you will find a way out or correct the state of affairs. In such dreams, children, as a rule, personify not themselves, but a kind of your brainchild, created by you. Or a relationship with someone.
If, after all, it was your real child drowning in the dream, the dream may concern him: danger to health or life. It depends on how the dream ended. The main meaning is still the same: a situation that is difficult to cope with.
A dream that came true: a muddy river and a funeral march
This is just one example out of thousands. The world’s largest database of dreams that came true is collected in our app. There you will find stories that will confirm or refute your guesses.
A participant’s story:
A dream before the illness of parents. 07/15/2020, 24th Lunar day, without affirmation.
I am lying on the sofa in my apartment. My family does not live there now. But it is my property. I spent my whole childhood and youth there, in short, it is still my home. I look out the window. There, very close, is a seething river with a current flowing to the right.
It is of a reddish color, as if clay or sand is rising from the bottom and coloring the water. At a run, along a narrow sidewalk between the house and the river, a funeral procession runs past, against the current.
I see only black silhouettes behind the curtain, how they carry a coffin, and the people following it. They pass quickly under an equally quickly playing, discordant funeral march. I press myself into the sofa, my heart sank into my heels (in my head: I only hope they do not touch me!). Although I seem to be in the house, and this action is outside the window.
Then the water began to flood the floor in the house, and the outer wall of the apartment disappeared somewhere. My mom and dad tried to figure out what to do next. Father took off his clothes and went into the river waist-deep. But he stands confidently, the current does not carry him away. He waves to us, like, jump, we need to get out of there, otherwise everything will be flooded!
My mother and I did not dare to follow him and watched. Mom began to take off her shoes and stood barefoot in the water ankle-deep. I was just about to take off my shoes, but never did.
How this dream came true:
It came true a week later. First my mother got sick (fever, cough). She was ill for a week, but recovered without aftereffects (in the water ankle-deep). About four days later dad also went down with a fever. But he could not recover for a week (the fever would not go away).
Remembering this dream, mom sent him for a CT scan, pneumonia was detected, he was hospitalized, treated for another half a month. There was a lot of anxiety (my heart sank into my heels), since he is 60+, a big risk. In the end, it was coronavirus with 50% lung damage (in the river he was waist-deep). But he steadily underwent treatment and recovered. I was spared, thank God.
The dream showed water as a symbol of emotional state and events. The muddy river reflected the approaching illness. The funeral march and the coffin indicated a serious threat. The water in the house showed the scale of the problem. And the depth at which father found himself in the river reflected the degree of lung damage.
The water in the dream came true: the muddy river with clay predicted illness, and the depth showed how seriously it would affect each person.
The full interpretation of this symbol, with all the nuances and details, is available in our app. We even have those dreams that are not in any dream book, because these are not invented symbols, but real ones that came true.
Dirty water, splashes, falling through
If in a dream you were doused with dirty water, it means shame and humiliation.
If splashes or drops of clean water got on you, soon you will receive very good news.
Falling into water in a dream – an accident, a collapse. Into a pit with water – helplessness, a serious illness, misfortune.
Choking on water in a dream means that in waking life you will not be able to cope with your feelings, if the water was clean. If it was murky, dirty, cold, hot, the events will be negative and will greatly upset you.
Standing in water – foretells experiences and disappointments, a period of depression, inaction, since it is a passive action. In a dream, it is better to interact with energies such as water in order to use their power and potential.
If in a dream you see water flooding something and a deluge forming, the dream means the failure of plans, disasters and fear of all of it. See the symbol flood in the dream book separately.
Water from the ceiling, from the tap, from a hose
If water flows from the ceiling in a dream – severe stress, often connected with financial problems.
Clean water from the tap or a stream of water – foretells experiences, after which everything will get back on track. This is dreamed in cases when the situation can no longer be discharged in any other way.
If a stream of water flows from a hose, the situation will be more tense (the water pressure in it is usually greater).
Dirty water from the tap – problems and troubles for the household members.
Water pouring in a dream – foretells changes, since in this way it reflects a reaction to events. Further, according to the context of the dream, it is important to decipher where the water is pouring from, where it is and what it is like. This will also be an indication of the events themselves: regarding what the changes will occur. It is good when water is poured into something, collected, used to wash away dirt, or used to wash one’s face. It is bad if water spills, pours out, leaks, or seeps through.
Water in fire, burning water – the power of feelings that has become destructive, scalding, traumatic.
Clean, transparent, holy, spring
Clean water, transparent – health and well-being, purity of relationships and feelings, devotion, sincerity. From the context of the dream, one can determine in relation to what the symbol works.
Holy water indicates the help of higher powers in a matter that is difficult for you. Treat such a dream attentively; it will necessarily contain some other indications of the actions you should take.
Spring water in a dream means recovery and liberation from everything that heavily burdened your life.
Green water (clean) – health and energy, a good level, mental balance.
Light blue or dark blue water – foretells the fulfillment of desires, happiness.
Sea, salty, melt, red
Sea water – a sign of well-being, cleansing, health. It may also indicate rest of any kind.
Salty water, if it is in a body of water, healing; if in a vessel, foretells sorrow and grief.
Melt water means that everything in your life is improving and returning to normal. A bad period is behind you.
Red water, water with blood – a sign of danger.
Hot water – experiences, stress. The same applies to seething or boiling water, with the only difference being that there will be uncontrolled emotions.
Cold, icy water is dreamed of as a cooling of relationships. If in the dream you like the coldness of the water, you yourself will wish for the end of the relationship, the cancellation of deals, the severing of ties.
Warm water – foretells calming and reconciliation. Often, in the context of dreams about finances and work, it indicates a period of income, profit, successful projects and deals.
Rusty water indicates illnesses.
Pouring, drinking, washing one’s face
Pouring or collecting, scooping water in a dream foretells profit and the fulfillment of desires, joy and well-being.
Washing one’s face with clean water foretells recovery and joy.
Drinking tasty water in a dream – foretells receiving something vitally necessary for you, extremely important. The fulfillment of a cherished desire.
Drinking water with an unpleasant taste, bad smell, or simply murky or dirty – foretells life’s trials and difficulties. A dream is also bad if the vessel with water has any defects (chipped, breaking, with cracks, and so on).
Searching for something in water – an attempt to gain a true understanding of what is happening, as well as a way out of the current situation, when it exists, but for some reason it is not visible, hidden, concealed behind our emotions, fear, despair.
Spilling water – foretells troubles and losses.
Pouring water out intentionally – losses through one’s own fault, refusal. Pouring out dirty water – getting rid of troubles.
Giving water to someone – you will share with someone your prosperity, income, profit or certain other resources. Giving water to drink – the desire or opportunity to unite destinies in some sense (judge by the plot of the dream). Pouring (spilling) water – empty hopes. Watering something inanimate with water – losses, while watering plants – labor for which you will receive a reward.
Breathing underwater and flying over water
Practitioners of dreaming become charged with energy in this way; these are some of the most effective ways of accumulating energy in the sleep state. By studying dream reports that feature such actions, we can say that most dreamers have a special predisposition to lucid dreams and in this way restore their strength and energy. If over time you learn to control such actions as breathing underwater or flying above water, then you are likewise given to control events in reality, creating their projections in the mental world.
Entering water is the same as entering a situation in life, that is, plunging into events headfirst, entirely.
Coming out of water – the dream signifies the end of a certain period, the cessation of the action of certain factors on your life.
Coming out of water dry in a dream – understand your dream almost literally. You will manage to avoid great trouble, despite the situation in which you have found yourself or will find yourself, to avoid danger and consequences.
Being underwater in a dream – being entirely under the power of some influence on your life. Moreover, such influence is possible both from a specific person and from the impact of external factors in life.
Collecting water from the floor – you will understand that unnecessary emotions and the heat of passion do not lead to anything good. In general, this is dreamed of as changes for the better; if you managed to collect the water, it means danger or troubles have passed. Water on the floor is dreamed of as worries, discord and illnesses, especially if the water was dirty.
Carrying water in a bucket, a can, or some other household vessel – a sign of family happiness and prosperity.
In any dreams where water is present, the entire spectrum of the dreamer’s emotions and feelings is reflected. However, the symbol of water also shows the state of the subtle energies of our physical body. That is precisely why, by the state, color, and smell of water in a dream, we can determine the purity or contamination of our physical body.

About the project
Our project is a research endeavor about dreams that has been ongoing for many years. Over this time, the world’s largest database of dreams that came true has been collected. Thousands of participants share their stories, and based on these stories we compile interpretations of symbols.
We don’t just collect dreams. We analyze them. Every dream that came true is a piece of a puzzle that helps understand how the subconscious works. How it transmits information. What symbolism it uses. What patterns repeat among different people in the same situations.
Over the years of work on the project, a unique methodology has formed. We don’t take ready-made meanings from encyclopedias. We don’t guess. We don’t predict. We work with data. Symbols, patterns, correlations. Dreams show what is already happening or will happen. And this can be verified. As we do on the project.
Unlike ordinary dream dictionaries, which take meanings from encyclopedias, our dream dictionary is created based on an analysis of real dreams that came true. Every symbol has been tested in practice. If different people had the same symbol coincide with the same events, it enters the database. This is not theory. This is statistics. Thousands of confirmed cases.
The app is a club of dreamers with private access. Everything is gathered there: the complete dream dictionary database (more than 7000 symbols), the world’s largest database of dreams that came true, practices for inducing informational dreams, diaries, decoding algorithms.

Dreams and Hidden Abilities
If you have ever had a prophetic dream at least once in your life, you have the ability to receive information in dreams. Most people block it, thereby reducing their ability to live and act more effectively. This mainly happens due to a lack of knowledge about the nature of dreams. Meanwhile, dreams are an ability given to every person at birth. By right of birth. It is hardly likely that nature created and gave anything “by chance.”

Water is emotions
Good afternoon, help me decipher a dream! Everything happens somewhere on the open sea. There is some kind of iron-and-wood platform, shaped like the letter “L,” that is just holding on the water… the water is very restless, dark (not dirty and not murky), just a very dark color, the weather is as if before a storm… the sea is rough, strong waves… I am splashing around in this water, as if in the middle of this platform… around me other people are also floundering but all in pairs, and I am alone… I understand that I am sort of not very uncomfortable, but I don’t show it… the water is very cold but I kind of feel fine, I am not drowning, the waves are not covering me, but I am being thrown very much from side to side, just splashing around and I have such feelings… a mixture… anxiety… excitement… Then I swim up to the steps on this platform, climb onto it, and tell my mom, who turns out to be there, that she should come swim with me… She said something to me, I don’t remember what, but I decided to go back into the water myself, I don’t know whether I got in or not, I woke up. Thanks in advance!
This dream reveals the main emotions you have been experiencing recently in your life – a feeling of loneliness, worry about it, anxiety, emptiness, a sense of failure in life. Most likely, this is due to instability in your personal life. Worrying about this. No specific events are visible in this dream. Tossing about in the water may mean life’s troubles. You will have the opportunity to give up such a lifestyle, but you yourself will not want to and will decide that you need to endure it a bit longer.
Victoria, if possible, explain my dream that I described above, on September 15, 2015, here.
continuing: the guy I’m currently having a falling-out with is drifting away from me, I see he’s not beside me, I say, well where are you, I turn my head, and he’s drinking water from my glass (I drink water from that kind of glass at home myself) and looking at me? Thank you, Victoria, for your time.
In general, if in a dream someone drinks from your glass, it means that between you and that person there is some secret, hidden (directly or indirectly) connection. In the dream, your boyfriend (it turns out) pretended to walk away from you, but in reality was drinking from your glass. It can be assumed that in reality he is a person with ambitions, proud and demanding attention, but in essence – he quenched his thirst from your vessel – this means that you are needed by him, and he has feelings for you.
In dreams, one should always pay attention to facial expressions and felt emotions – that way you can understand what a person actually feels or thinks about you. So, recall with what facial expression he was doing all this.
Hello, Victoria! And what does it mean if in my dream my
I was reading the future of a relationship with my beloved, who left. At the beginning of the night, a dream: I see part of a body of water with a rocky shore, a soundless voice explains to me that it is a lake, I ask in surprise why a lake and not a pond for example, the voice says to me—it is a lake. I saw neither myself nor my beloved there and woke up. Then a few more dreams, the last one—we are in a house with my beloved lying down, I want to immediately embrace her, she says, go take a shower first. I ask, maybe without a shower? No, she says, go take a shower, I answer that okay, I go and wake up.
