WAVES

Dream Meaning

Waves are the ocean's most expressive language, and when they roll through your dreams, they are translating the rise and fall of your emotional life into something you can see and feel. Gentle, rhythmic waves lapping at the shore carry the subconscious message that your emotions are moving as they should — cycling, releasing, finding their natural level without destroying anything in their passage.

But when waves grow enormous, when they tower above you and block out the sky, the dream is registering emotional intensity that has outgrown your current capacity to process it. These may be feelings about a specific person or situation, or simply the accumulated weight of a life lived with insufficient emotional outlet.

The shore behind you represents safety; whether you reach it matters.
