Holidays at a seaside or by the ocean are associated with something pleasant – with a well-deserved relax, rest…
Usually our dream is in a similar vibe – we are walking on the beach, we hear the sound of the ocean, delicate waves are washing our feet…sometimes we are alone, and sometimes we have company, the day may be hot or cold, it may be getting dark…
It also happens that such a dream is a nightmare – water endangers us, we get caught by the tide and are drowning… a violent storm begins, which may be dangerous to us and our surrounding.
How to interpret a dream about a beach or an ocean?
Dreams about a beach or an ocean are often caused by the physiological impulse – we are thirsty or our bladder is fool and the dream is not the most subtle sign that it is the highest time to visit the toilet.
A dream about a troubled sea or an ocean may be the reflection of our fear of water, it may be also connected with our traumatic experiences of drowning or a sea disaster.
Dreams about water have an important meaning. Water is a significant dream symbol, which is often connected with our hidden emotions and desires, which we are often unaware of. Deep water containers, especially seas and oceans, contain amazing mysteries, fascinating and scary at the same time. It is worth remembering that in cosmology, water means the beginning of everything, it symbolizes the birth and the Mother Goddess, and submerging in it clears the old and creates the new.
It is commonly believed that dreams about water are a good sign – a rest at a seaside or by the ocean may be the portend of new possibilities, which are likely to appear to us; even drowning may have a positive meaning – probably there is a work to be done and we will manage to do it successfully.
It is worth wondering about the quality of water in our dream, as it may be a tip about our hidden emotions. Clear, crystalline water means creativity, the time of development, acceptation and high self-esteem, while a dirty one may bring problems which we are supposed to deal with. Falling into water may mean unexpected changes, while the fear of water (which is not caused by a post-injury trauma) may be related to imbalanced emotions or the fear of learning the truth about ourselves and self-acceptance.
