Wasser kann ein Bild für Gefühle und Ungewissheit sein. Beginne damit, ob es ruhig, einladend oder überwältigend wirkte.
Welche Variante hast du erlebt?
Ruhiges Wasser
Was gibt dir Raum, zur Ruhe zu kommen?
Steigendes Wasser
Was lässt sich schwer im Zaum halten?
Einen Fluss überqueren
Mitten in welcher Veränderung befindest du dich?
Ein Denkanstoß
Ein klarer Teich und ein reißender Fluss schaffen ganz unterschiedliche Erfahrungen. Beschreibe Temperatur, Tiefe und Bewegung, bevor du entscheidest, wofür das Wasser stehen könnte. Warst du darin, hast du es beobachtet oder einen Weg hinüber gesucht? Deine Beziehung zum Wasser kann eine persönlichere Frage nahelegen als eine allgemeine Definition.
Nimm eine Frage mit in deinen Tag.
Halte es fest, bevor es verblasst. Kein Konto nötig.
GESCHICHTEN & KONTEXTDie Geschichten hinter dem Symbol
Die Geschichten hinter dem Symbol
Wasser dient in vielen rituellen Traditionen der Reinigung und Erneuerung. In der griechischen Mythologie markieren Flüsse auch Grenzen zwischen Welten. Das sind kulturelle Verbindungen mit Wasser, keine Belege dafür, dass ein Wassertraum ein Ereignis ankündigt.

To dream of clear water, foretells that you will joyfully realize prosperity and pleasure.
If the water is muddy, you will be in danger and gloom will occupy Pleasure's seat.
If you see it rise up in your house, denotes that you will struggle to resist evil, but unless you see it subside, you will succumb to dangerous influences.
If you find yourself baling it out, but with feet growing wet, foreshadows trouble, sickness, and misery will work you a hard task, but you will forestall them by your watchfulness. The same may be applied to muddy water rising in vessels.
To fall into muddy water, is a sign that you will make many bitter mistakes, and will suffer poignant grief therefrom.
To drink muddy water, portends sickness, but drinking it clear and refreshing brings favorable consummation of fair hopes.
To sport with water, denotes a sudden awakening to love and passion.
To have it sprayed on your head, denotes that your passionate awakening to love will meet reciprocal consummation.
The following dream and its allegorical occurrence in actual life is related by a young woman student of dreams:
“Without knowing how, I was (in my dream) on a boat, I waded through clear blue water to a wharfboat, which I found to be snow white, but rough and splintry. The next evening I had a delightful male caller, but he remained beyond the time prescribed by mothers and I was severely censured for it.” The blue water and fairy white boat were the disappointing prospects in the symbol.

To dream of being on the water, is good, if the water be clear; but if muddy or troubled, the reverse. To see a wide expanse of water, over or on which you wish to get, but cannot, shows that you are about to embark in some undertaking without first securing the means of success.
