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.
