DAM

Dream Meaning

Water in dreams almost always represents emotion, and a dam is the structure you have erected to keep those emotions from flooding the landscape of your life. Dreaming of a dam suggests you are exercising significant self-control, possibly suppressing grief, anger, or desire because the full force of feeling seems dangerous to release.

If the dam holds steady and the water behind it is calm, you have found a workable equilibrium — though it may be fragile. A cracking or overflowing dam is a vivid warning that repression has its limits and a breakthrough, emotional or otherwise, is approaching.

Ask yourself what you have been holding back and whether the time has finally come to let some of it through.
