Over the past 50 years of interpreting dreams, I cannot recall one person with whom I have interpreted dreams for or discussed dreams with who hasn’t experienced at least one dream of drowning.

To better understand drowning or coming close to drowning in dreams, you must first understand what WATER actually means in drowning dreams and dreams in general.

Clean, Clear Water Clean, clear water represents God, the Holy Spirit forgiveness, compassion, purity of heart, physical spiritual cleansing and blessing. In other dreams, water is symbolic of setbacks, hindrances presenting challenges and testing. In this type of dream, the width of the body of water determines the time frame or how long the dreamer will undergo circumstances. While the water depth determines the intensity of difficulty the test, obstacle, challenge or setback will present to the dreamer.

In most dreams involving drowning, the challenge or test that caused the dream is related to emotional, material, health and or unanswered spirituality questions. It is not unusual for dreams of drowning to transfer into our personal and financial lives, as a result of problems, events or situations where we feel trapped in and can find no answers or solutions.

One of the chief reasons for the dreamer to dream he’s drowning, under the water or being pulled under water and helpless to swim to the surface represents a predicament involving the dreamer’s family, health, relationship, career, job or finances that is entering in a dream shown as the dreamer drowning in water. In the same way, emptiness, sorrow, remorse, self-pity, grief, loneliness, wishing to escape, giving up, depression, abandonment, emotional stress and a spiritual void often results in the dreamer having dreams of drowning.

For The Christian: Christians and non Christians alike can experience dreams of drowning for the same reasons. But for the whole, the normal faith-based Christian has dreams different than the above mentioned, which represents an entirely different and unique set of challenges. Challenges involve blessings and gifts that God wants to bestow upon His people. Often, the blessing or gift will be determined by how cleanly or to what degree the dreamer comes out victorious through and after the end of the challenge or test of faith shown 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 be dreaming he is drowning yet, somehow manages by his own strength and determination to pull himself back up to the surface represents that despite the magnitude of the obstacle, problem or pressure he is feeling or facing in the natural world, he will find an answer or solution, and find a way to resolve the problem restoring his life back to normal.

To Dive Into Clean Clear Water, to dive into clear water when the dreamer sees the bottom represents strength, stability, a self starter, having foresight and the ability to plan ahead.

To Dive Into Dirty Murky Water: For the dreamer to dive into dirty or murky water and he does not see the bottom represents a headstrong person who abandons logic, acts hastily and the dreamer does not think ahead or plan for the future. He is self-absorbed, prideful, selfish, thinks only of himself, what he wants and he is not considerate 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, lies, deceit, illusion, betrayal, back stabbing, gossip, secrets, manipulation of someone, sexual bondage/addiction, bad habits, or a hidden agenda and the guilty feelings or the emotion of the fear of being discovered is surfacing in his dream in the form of him drowning or almost drowning portrayed in a dream.
