Over the past fifty years of interpreting dreams, I cannot remember a single person of whom I have interpreted dreams for or discussed dreams with who hasn’t experienced at least one dream of having been drowning. Additional info on this subject at: DreamMessenger.com

To more clearly understand drowning or near drowning dreams, you must first understand much of what WATER represents, not only in drowning dreams but dreams as a whole.

Clean, Clear Water Clean, clear water represents God, the Holy Spirit, forgiveness, compassion, purity of heart, physical and spiritual cleansing and healing. However, in some dreams water is symbolic of obstacles, difficult challenges and tests. In these types of dreams, the width of the area of the water determines the time frame or how long the dreamer will challenged. While the depth of the water body determines the extent of difficulty the test, obstacle, challenge or setback will have for the dreamer.

In most dreams involving drowning, the challenge or test that caused the dream pertains to emotional, material, health and or unanswered spiritual questions. Although it is not unusual for dreams of drowning to overlap into our personal and financial lives as a result of problems or situations that we are trapped in and can find no answer or solution.

One major reason for the dreamer to dream he is drowning, is under water or being pulled under water and helpless to reach the surface represents a dilemma in the dreamer’s family, health, emotions, relationships, career or finances that is materialized in a dream of the dreamer portrayed as physically drowning in water. Similarly, emptiness, self-pity, sorrow, remorse, grief, abandonment, loneliness, giving up, depression, escape, emotional stress and spiritual emptiness in their lives often results in the dreamer experiencing dreams of drowning.

For The Christian: Although Christians and non Christians both can experience dreams of drowning for the same reasons, for the most part, when the average balanced Christian has a dream other than the ones mentioned represents a different set of challenges. These challenges can involve blessings or gifts that God is about to bestow upon them. Often, the blessing or gift will be determined by how well or to what degree the dreamer overcomes the challenge or testing of faith acted out in the dream.

In like manner, as with non Christians, the Christian also experiences dreams of drowning for having turned his back on God, did or is about to backslide into flesh nature, worldly temptations or a returning to an unhealthy relationship or old habit, and the drowning dream is symbolic of God calling a Christian back to repentance.

For the dreamer to dream he is drowning yet managing by his own strength and will to overcome the situation in pulling himself back up to the surface of the water represents that regardless of the enormity of the obstacle, problem or pressure he’s feeling and facing in the real world, he will be given answer toward solution in further dream messages. And he will ultimately find a way to clearing away the problem reclaiming his life back to normal.

To Dive Into Clean Clear Water, to dive into clear water, where the dreamer can see the bottom represents strength, stability, a self starter, knowledge, information, education, foresight and the ability to plan ahead.

To Dive Into Dirty Murky Water: For the dreamer to dive into dirty or murky water not able to see the bottom represents a headstrong, illogical thinker; this dreamer does not think ahead or plan for the future. This is a self-centered, overly proud, selfish individual who thinks firstly about himself, his wants are and very is inconsiderate of others or their feelings.

For the dreamer to dream he is drowning or under the water or being pulled under Dirty or Murky water in a dream represents that he is involved in one or more of the following: guilt, deceit, lies, illusion, betrayal, back stabbing, gossip, secrets, manipulation of someone, sexual bondage/addiction, bad habits, or a hidden agenda and the guilt or the fear of being found out is surfacing in his dream life in the form of him drowning or nearly drowning in a dream.
