Water plays a huge role in the history of mankind. No matter whether it is a deep freshwater lakes, river, bearing life, or the ocean, absorbing people, water is both a friend and a foe. This dream has significant character in any form or extremely important to understand its role;

Water in dreams is a powerful symbol, because very often its appearance coincides with the high point of the feeling;

Water is symbol of primary importance, according to which it ensures the existence of life, where everything that’s alive has the connection with water. This is also a reflection of the human experience with water;

The water – main component of life. The human beings can last much longer without the food, than the water. Since the beginning of times, any kind of living beings were looking for water, because they knew that if they find the water, there will be food either. However, the water could cause lots of danger, as to cross for example the sea would take a lot of courage and bravery. Journey through the water was a dangerous and mysterious as for example sea creatures, storms and rough seas took away lives of many travelers.

Emphasizing the positive view of the water, it should be noted that often it is a symbol of new life, rejuvenation and energy. The swelling of the water also causes sleepiness and laziness;

Try to recreate your dream, by asking yourself: was it a lake in your dream, that you saw the lines of it where it begins and where it finishes? Or maybe you saw the water that was infinite? These questions you will give to yourself will answer more about your dream.

Consider, that sometimes people continue to dream during the sleep of what they were dreaming while they were conscious.For example, during the day you work really hard, but from time to time you dream about upcoming holidays and things you will do during it. Therefore, at your sleep you dream of beautiful ocean and the beach. This fact shows that some people are able to relax during the sleep and experience some kind of satisfaction;

The Lofa dreambook explains, that the quiet and deep water has the meaning of deep hidden emotions;

If the water is dark – your feelings are rising and is about to explode;

If the water took the control and the dreamer is not able to manage it (for example to master the ship if it is very stormy out in the waters), it means that the dreamer struggles to cope with circumstances that are caught by the others. The dream shows that things that supposed to be managed by you, are in the hands of the others. You lost the belief in yourself and the power to be the leader of situation.

Vision; overview and power.

Question:

What do I have to understand that I can live with my strength?

General Meanings:

An eagle indicates inspiration and strength. It also can stand as a support for the need to rise after the dissolution of old ideas and attitudes. As a bird of prey, the Eagle is able to take advantage of all opportunities which are offered to him. To dream an eagle, means that you can do the same or want to.

Exaggerated power or too proud Eagle generally stands for courage, boldness, pride, dignity, vision, desire for freedom and striving for higher things ( as a symbol of power – at the back of coins). When eagle appears you always must ask yourself – if you do not overdo and exaggerate in reaching higher striving, or overestimate your own strength, or you encounter with pride in front of the others, this is the real life situation.

Psychological Meanings:

Success and big ideas From a psychological point, the eagle indicates that the dreamer has the ability to use his mind to be successful. He takes his life into his own hands. Perhaps the eagle is also a reference to the need to be factual and take another point of view. Eagle of the Lord of the skies can be interpreted positively as earthly ties, it is the exhilaration of great ideas, but often also for the consuming passion of the mind.

Realization and happiness Who sees the eagle flying high up in the sky -there is a hope that he can realize and move high-flying plans into action. Who catches the eagle will be able to enjoy success on their own.

Who gambles high, may fall deeply An eagle, which falls down and dives for its prey, points to the speed of thought and the courage of the dreamer, could indeed prove recklessness in the waking life.

Mental freedom and sexuality Freud says that the eagle on the basis of the mythology is an overpowering sexual symbol, because the predator can not control his urges and wants to have his victim. Freud justified this by saying that the eagle is a large bird and the word bird in the vernacular is another word for penis. In some cases the eagle can absolutely stand for the sexuality, more arises from the dream connection: if the eagle can fly badly or not at all, this points to the austerity of the mental freedom or on the fact that the dreamer neglects his spiritual interests.

Spiritual Meanings:

An eagle is a form of spiritual victory. (He’s the king of the sky!)

Traditional Meanings:

European (Judeo-Christian)
