I wanted to get opinions about my water dreams. They have progressed over the years from being fully emerged to escaping the water. They are very random however re-occuring nontheless. The first re-occuring water dream i can remember was being in a car on a bridge. The catch is, i am on a bridge that is just surrounded by water, like the bridge in Florida? Not sure if i am referencing the correct state. In the dream i look outside and just see a wall of water comming at us (the accompaning people in my dreams are usually my family or very close friends). There is nowhere to escape. I usually wake up at this time as it is too much for me to handle. Then my dreams progressed to being on the beach or land and again seeing a wall of water comming towards me. This time the water does emerge me but because i have had so many water dreams i have taught myself to breathe under water. The next progression of dreams is that again i am on land and i see the wall of water comming towards me. This time i am able to escape somehow by car or other means of transportation. I concentrate on getting to the highest level of land that i see so i usually head towards mountains. I usually enter a building of some sort and again, i concentrate on finding the highest peak in the builing. I sometimes climb on cabinets or furniture and once i climbed into an attic. In these dreams the water almost reaches me as i can see the water right below me. Last night i had the same dream. I saw the wall of water submerging the highest mountains as i was in a car trying to find higher ground. I ended up in a neighborhood wanting to get into a house and then a stranger took us in knowing the dangers of the water was nearing. I kept thinking that again i had to find the highest cabinet but no one esle seemed too concerned. The stranger started showing us the house and the bedrooms. I kept again looking around for the cabinet to climb on as i knew in my dream the water would come. This time, the water never came in. I hope i didn't give unnecessary details. I really would like opinions about these dreams. Yes, the simplist explanaiton would be that maybe my life is getting better so the water never came however, my life really is not dramatically getting any better. Maybe they are just are my fears of drowning? When i have these dreams, i know i am dreaming. I know i am having a re-occuring dream and thats why i spring into action because i know now what to expect in my deam, for the most part. Hence, trying to find the highest cabinet to climb on.
The fear of drowning could be part of what is causing the dreams. In the dreams, you are taking positive action and that's good. It may mean you are taking action in real life to either avert or solve everyday problems. The dreams could also be about escaping something. Water often represents one's emotional state. Perhaps you are subconsciously trying to avert a painful situation, most likely from your past. The wall of water represents your subconscious, the place where emotions and memories are buried or "walled off." When you become conscious in the dream could be the time when you are heading up to your conscious mind, via the mountains and attic.
