Biblical

A symbol of longing for something in your life. The sensation of thirst can symbolize a desire for God, Ps. 42:2

Jungian

Unlike Food, which symbolizes how you find nourishment in what you do, liquid refreshments generally portray emotional needs. Being thirsty can portray how you are recognizing the need to allow your emotions to fulfill you.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

In a dream, thirst represents stagnation of businesses, dullness of the real estate market and unsalability of farm products. Thirst in a dream also means poverty, slump, recession, or yearning for a beloved, desiring to be with him and missing him. Thirst in a dream also could represent religious corruption. If a thirsty person sees himself searching for water but could not find it in a dream, it means that he will escape from a misfortune. If one sees himself standing thirsty before a source of water or a well but cannot drink from it or reach it in a dream, it means that he will fail to reach his goal. Thirst in a dream also means being corrupt, or it could represent one’s need to get married to preserve his chastity.
