Water

Water is a VERY common theme in dreams. When
interpreting a dream with water as an important part of the
dream, emotions in the dream are usually crucial for
interpretation.

Water typically symbolizes two major things, emotions or
spiritual life. How to determine which is completely
dependent on the feelings experienced in the dream.

Using your worksheet, note the emotions you feel
regarding the circumstances with water, and then make a
note of the surroundings and people in the dream.

Baptism - fresh start, rebirth.

If the major theme in the dream is rain or water
washing over your body which feels wonderful:
cleansing, salvation, spiritual refreshing.

If calm, peaceful, refreshing and sweet, pools or
wells of water: Life in the spirit, church, or ministry.

Turbulent, troubled, raging, rushing, up to your neck:
Emotional turmoil. If your body is in the troubled waters it is
often anxiety related to actual or perceived health
situations. In a boat is often related to your life but not
necessarily health related.

Flowing water - The flow of the Holy Spirit.

River of water - If sweet, clean, refreshing, can be life in
the spirit, river of living water.

Turbulent river of water if the emotions or feelings in the
dream are fear and anxiety it will be a situation producing
anxiety.

Ocean or sea - Alone could be loneliness, or lack of help.
Adrift - lack or forward momentum.

Tsunami - feeling overwhelmed, devastation.

The context of the dream will help determine the symbols of
water.

Often means emotional turmoil, cleansing, salvation.

Dirty: Trouble, problems
Turbulent: Fear, emotional turmoil.
Up to your neck: Oppression, difficulties, trouble,
trials
Clean/clear: cleansing power of the blood of Christ,
Salvation, life in the Spirit
Over your head: in over your head, overwhelmed,
powerless, depression
Body of water: Note the size of the water which
equals the size of the turmoil or problems.
Waterfalls: If going over the falls = danger or
anxiety. If watching and peaceful - beauty and
tranquility.
White water: Out of control
Calm, clear pool or well - Life in the Spirit or
ministry.

Can waters also mean "peoples" or "nations" or main-stream churches?

I have seen a baby in water blowing bubbles but with someone's hands around the neck. The baby looked exactly like my grandchild Hannah and at the moment by daughter is pregnant again with her son. Any explanation for this
