Exploratory questions
What did the water look like? What stood out about its color, movement, or temperature?
Were you in the water or looking at it? How did that contact or distance feel?
Did the water feel threatening, calming, or something unexpected?
Was there a moment when your relationship with the water changed?
Did the water change during the dream — in amount, speed, or clarity?
Was there a shore, edge, or destination in sight?
Is there something in your life that 'flows' or is 'stagnant'?
Where do you feel overwhelmed or running dry?
⚠️ Note
For drowning dreams: ask yourself about the feeling, not what it 'means'. Seek support if the dream stays with you.
