If you churn or boil a liquid when cooking, you are temporarily putting the liquid in a chaotic state with the goal of creating something useful from it. Therefore, if you dream about a churning liquid, it is a sign that you should not be afraid of the chaos that appears to surround you, but instead, use your creative abilities to create order and beauty from it.
A churning liquid in a dream can represent creative energy.
If you dream that you see liquid churning, you may be feeling overwhelmed emotionally. You are worried that you will not be able to contain your emotions, and that they will “boil over”.
Seeing someone else churning liquid in a dream can mean that you think they are going to cause trouble; they are “stirring things up”.
