Well, are you thinking about your latest dream? Do you remember it not very clearly or do you remember evry bits and pieces of it? Do you exactly remember how you felt in the dream?
The questions asked can be many and so can be the answers.
Dreams are assumed to be quite subjective experiences and hence there can obviously be various ways to interpret it.
A dream can be understood on personal levels where the dreamer tries to relate their dream to their personal experience or personal emotions.
Otherwise it can also be understood on the spiritual level.
Feeling of being overwhelmed
One major reflection of drowning in a dream can be the representation of feeling overwhelmed by negative energies. It generally occurs that an individual is not able to control their emotions and he/she may go down a spiral.
There are many negative emotions like anger, sorrow, overthinking, jealousy etc and everyone should try to keep their emotions under control. But it is not always possible. There are many situations in our everyday life that we may not control and these often tend to overpower us. There are often people we meet in our daily lives whose energy seems negative and who don’t settle with our peace of mind. These people and situations overwhelm us and that is what drowning in a dream can signify.
Symbolic of spiritual rebirth
Drowning may be understood as an act of spiritual rebirth. It may be symbolic of a deep transformation that you might be undergoing in your life. It may imply as letting go of the negative emotions that no longer serve you. It means breaking the old patterns and embracing a new version of yourself. It can also be a symbolism for the process of surrendering to the divine powers of Nature and letting go of all the negativity. In ancient scriptures, we have often heard about spiritual rebirth where a person tries to repent for their sins or tries to become a pure and holy version of themselves.
Similarly drowning can also reflect the art of spiritual transformation.
Sense of guilt
Drowning in a dream can also be symbolic of guilt or shame. We have often heard of the phrase ” drowning in shame” means that we are occupied by the emotions of guilt and shame due to any past action. Unsolved issues, fights and others can often result in a feeling of guilt where we seem to blame ourselves for many situations that weren’t even our fault. So drowning can also be seen as healing those issues and moving forward in life.
Fear
Drowning in a dream can also be smybol of fear. It can be a fear of not being able to stay in control of certain actions and situations. It can also signify fear of being consumed by the unknown or any fear that occupies your subconscious mind.
Hence drowning in a dream can be interpreted in various ways based on personal experiences. There can always be deeper levels to understanding the dream depending on the person.
