My dream was unexpectedly lucid. Recently I am getting very clear dreams, may be because of cough pills. But the dreams are strange. So yesterday I dream about this massive flood and thunderstorm. I am in a school which is at some height and from where you can see the thunders clearly. Its almost dusk. My friends and my cousin sister stand beside me as I decide to head alone, down the slope. So when I reach down, I see a massive layer of water washing away everything. Their are some girls who are screaming as they wash away. I am their too as I pop up into the wave counting my last breaths. And then I see I am transported back to the school premises. My cousin sister still stands there. Their is no way she is letting me stay and I don't ask her for me to stay. She prepares me to go down again while I ask for a sharp knife which is very much polished as I see it in my hand. I keep it to kill myself because I am afraid of drowning. Then all I do is pray for the flood to subside while the clouds began to clear overhead. (I am not sure though, I think they cleared) The end.

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!
