Water is a symbol that can crop up in many dreams. It most commonly symbolizes the ebb and flow of life and emotions. But the interpretation of your water dream can mean a different thing depending on how the water appears. For example, dreaming of a river might be a sign of living your life whereas drowning could signify heavy emotional turmoil. Waves might be pent up emotions and walking on water might mean you're feeling in charge. Regardless of how you dream of water, there's a meaning behind it. Most of them are lurking just beneath our surface. After all, the body is 70% water.
