> I would add that what something represents in a dream depends on what it means to you. To me it seems that it might represent one's life in general. This is because it is a good analogy for the struggles of life. If you think about it you can sink or float in water. Water can be calm, peaceful, relaxing, or it can be dangeerous with big waves or currents. You can swim through the water getting to where you want to. You can be rescued or helped if you are in difficulty. See what I mean?

I do see what you mean about water possibly representing one's life. Each time I've had a dream about water, it's been at a crossroad in my life or my therapy life. It seems even when I don't quite realize my life is changing, my dreams kind of let me know something's going on.
Thanks for the response, lookdownfish! It made a lot of sense to me.
