Dreaming of tidal waves, or any sort of giant wave, implies that your waking life is being disrupted. These large waves appear to help the dreamer figure out what is preventing harmony and turning life upside down.
Unlike Tsunamis that appears in our dreams, the tidal wave are often influenced by other symbols pointing to a different interpretation. For example, tsunamis are often caused by earthquakes, but tidal waves are influenced by the moon or weather.
The large waves associated with the tides are a powerful symbol stemming from both spiritual and psychological forces.
The dreamer should carefully pay attention to these powerful forces because they are also associated with potentially drowning in dreams. In your dream you will either survive, escape or become caught in its mighty power as you wait to get out of this horrible situation.
Dreaming of Big Waves
For the dreamers who are caught up in big waves in your dreams represents a lack of control and fears of not getting out of this current situation in your life. If you think about the feeling of being trapped under a wave seems to reflect a lack of control, unable to move, needing to be grounded and feelings of dread in your life.
Remember the magnitude of large waves invoke is no surprise when you consider that water in dreams most often relates to the dreamer’s emotional state. So the dreamer must identify where are these overwhelming feelings arising from?
Watching waves from a distance would apply differently to someone who is swimming in the water. Being on the land implies you are more grounded in this situation and observing something in the distance that could pose a threat.
Hidden Meaning of Big Waves in Dreams
Did you know that the moon influences the waves’ behavior? The moon’s gravitational pull generates something called the tidal force. The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the moon and the side farthest from the moon.
In dreams the MOON has a very strong connection to the feminine, mother, unconscious emotional state, moods, and yin energy. Dreams about waves warn us about unconscious changes and shifts and so we’ll understanding how to adapt to them.
Another hidden connection to the tidal wave is the wind. In our dreams, the WIND comes when we least expect it. As in life, it’s an invisible force that cannot be seen, but felt. Some say that the wind forms from the spirit (breath), while others suggests it brings change to the dreamer. The wind emerges as a metaphor reflecting change or movement coming towards you, especially when it makes waves.
Tidal Wave Dreams as Warnings
A tidal wave dream may be a huge warning dream that hints at a sudden or unpredictable uprising in your life.
Noticing in your dream that large waves are coming towards you suggests you are seeing something in the distance that has the ability to wreak havoc in your life. This could be a sign to get out of the way or not to put yourself in a dangerous situation that would be hard to get out of.
Sometimes the dreamer will notice that the waves keep rising to a point of evoking fear and panic. Whenever we dream of waves becoming larger it represents a building emotional threat that might consume and take control of you.
Feelings of fear, inability to control, urgency to flee, and sudden impact all hint at something in your life that is about to crash on you.
