Dream Interpretation Analysis

Meaning of wave in a dream

Dreaming of a tidal wave, or any massive wave, is usually experienced from the viewpoint of watching it approach, either on shore, from a hill or some other near-by vantage point. This dream may often be accompanied by a sense of fear or panic. To understand dreams of this nature, it can help to start by understanding what water and the sea mean to us in dreams (see “Dream Meanings: Water” post.) If we look at water in our dreams as a symbol of our emotions and feelings, part of our inner world, then tidal waves can be like our emotions welling up and getting a little out of control. One of the advantages of being on shore or nearby watching the wave approach in the dream, is that it gives us an opportunity to step outside ourselves and look at what we we are feeling. This is usually a helpful thing to do when our emotions get so strong that they well up into a massive wave! Tidal waves often appear in our dreams when are under a lot of pressure or when significant change is occurring. They may be a an indication that we feel a little overwhelmed, that maybe we fear we won’t be able to cope or adjust with what we see in our own future. They may occur as recurring dreams, with the wave getting bigger or closer over subsequent nights. This may correspond to our increasing anxiety, or the looming date we fear getting closer. It is worth recognising that when we have these dreams there is often an area of our life that we are not looking at clearly, or that we are avoiding. Tidal wave dreams remind us that if we don’t confront and deal with things that are out of balance in our life, then they will confront us first! There are fewer clearer signs of confrontation than standing right before a towering body of surging water!

I was welcomed into an architects office by two friendly ladies. An Asian man sat at the conference table and was rearranging a model of a building on the table. I wasn't sure if I was really wanted there or if I was going to be fired. But as I made some jokes we all laughed and I became more confident. The ladies seemed to want to hear what I had to share and I made a few more funny comments and it was nice and bright and enjoyable. Then one of the ladies said we were going to be able to leave early, at 2:30pm which I was happy about.

So many portions to this dream. I dreamt that I had a meeting at work for 1:30 and I had already had some time off so I needed to be there Nat was saying she put Sarah in charge of art for her health and that I would have this meeting. I had to drop off balloons for a birthday for one of the kids and I kept being delayed either I just missed the kids and I had to talk with Miss Wolsey one of the kids teachers. I kept feeling like the time was running short. While I was looking for the others I saw lilah and Zoey and all of a sudden there was a clothing fare and they both wanted clothing. Then I was stuck in a board room Where someone on the other side locked the door but unleashed a delicious dog on us. I’m not sure if I got bitten but I jumped out the window and successfully made it out of 3 floors the whole time thinking I’m late for this meeting but this is wild. While looking for my car I ran into an angel up the road. It was terrifying….terrifying but I remember holding onto someone or something and was determined to be brave. It started off as a scary ball of light then formed into a traditional angel with wings but as it got closer to me it became a cloud of smoke. There was also something about a construction company building something like caves and sedem and I having to negotiate

In my dream there was a toddler baby girl inside her home and when she saw me walking past she smiled and waved and I waved back. She then got up and came running outside on the pattio but I got scared as there were stairs and she was looking to descend the stairs. Then another baby girl appeared, she was about 3 years and I recognized her as the daughter of a member in my church, she is called Shiloh. She stood there preventing the other toddler from decending the stairs, but then the toddler threw herself through the side of the railing on the stairs and Shiloh reached out and caught her by the hand and pulled her up using one arm until she was safely on the pattio again.

What did you dream of?
