Diving

Dreaming of diving into water means that you want to plunge into something that would please you, if the water is clean it means you have overcome come problems and you feel content. Conversely, dreaming of diving into muddy water means you feel stuck and worried about an obstacle you have come across. Otherwise, similar to digging, it could mean that you are looking to find a solution to a predicament. If you witness someone else diving in your dream, it suggests your attractions towards another individual in your waking life. Dreaming of animals diving in your dream is a release of your sexual tension which you have concealed.

This symbol can be associated with 'going beneath the water,' or delving into your unknown feelings or aspects that you are coming to recognize that were previously hidden 'below the surface.' It can also appear as something 'diving toward the earth' which shows fears about your aspirations and ability to achieve your goals. You may have a sense of 'being brought back to earth' if your ambitions are not fulfilling. At the same time, diving is a classic image of going deep to retrieve the treasure of untapped potential.
