What does it mean to dream of water?

Water symbolizes emotions and the state of the soul: clean and calm water suggests harmony, while murky or turbulent water points to anxiety and unprocessed feelings.

✔ Avatarium breakdown
Water in a dream is almost always connected to your emotions and inner life. The general key is this: the quality of the water reflects the quality of your feelings. Clean, calm water usually speaks of harmony, clarity, and peace of mind. Murky, dirty water points to anxiety, confusion, or suppressed and unprocessed emotions. Stormy water, floods, or tidal waves suggest strong feelings that are overwhelming you or a situation that is spiraling out of control. The nature of the action also matters: swimming calmly means you are "in the flow"; drowning suggests a feeling of not being able to cope; diving indicates a readiness to look deep within yourself. Honest framing: water in a dream reflects your emotional state, it does not predict events. Ask yourself which feelings are currently "flooding" you or, conversely, giving you a sense of peace.
