Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Western/Modern

In our dreams deep levels often revolve around bodies of water such as oceans, sea and swimming pools. As you stand looking down reflects your conscious awareness into the deep abyss into your unconscious emotional state – a symbol that suggests when you explore it contains a lot of mystery. Deep snow implies that your emotions are in a stuck state and needs the warm of the sun to balance your energy (see sun dreams).

Jungian

To dream of deep water in which you cannot clearly see the bottom shows both the unknown potential within you and your fear of activating this power. A deep hole can symbolize feelings of being in a rut at the same time that it can suggest feelings associated with the mother. Whenever the idea of 'deep' appears in a dream, it is a good exercise to meditate on the imagery and actively explore what 'lies below the surface.' This type of dream is often associated with the activation of unconscious information as it seeks to have expression. See Water and also Placement and Perspective.
