Hidden meaning of tidal wave dreams
To dream of tidal waves or any sort of giant wave implies that the dreamer peace and harmony would be disrupted. These large waves in your dream serve as a purpose to help the dreamer figure out what has now turned their peace 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 in dreams are often caused by earthquakes, whereas larger waves are influenced by the wind or moon.
When it comes to interpreting dreams your unconscious likes to use metaphors in order to help point you in the right direction. Because the tsunami occurs during an earthquake it points towards a powerful unconscious emotional shift after the pressure has built up. The large waves are caused by wind and in dreams this becomes a powerful symbol that leads towards both spiritual and psychological forces.
But the dreamer should carefully pay attention to this unknown powerful force in their lives because it becomes a warning that they might potential drown in their 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.
What you should know about tidal wave dreams!
We know so far being caught up in some large waves in our dreams is a negative omen that implies being consumed by something in your life. Unfortunately, this symbol is quite vague that could represent any sort of turmoil taking place in your life, but what takes place and who you are with will help get you one step closer to the meaning.
Usually the locations, people around you and how much control you have helps narrow down where this issue might be stemming 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.
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 emotional state. So the dreamer must identify where are these overwhelming feelings arising from? Well this why tsunamis are different than tidal wave dreams. Let me explain!
Tidal waves dreams ~ The wind moon hidden meaning
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, yin energy, unconsciousness — so powerful that it can drive the dreamer to lose control. In our dreams the waves warns the dreamer dreams about these changes and shifts and by understanding how you would cope and adapt to them.
Another hidden yet symbolic connection to the tidal wave would be the wind. In our dreams the WIND comes on when you least expect it — 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 will emerge as a metaphor reflecting change or movement coming towards you.
On rare occasions large waves or tidal waves are formed by earthquakes. Earthquakes in our dreams points towards an unconscious shift, repressed feelings, pent emotions that have now been released. Sometimes the dreamer will be met with a force that will shake them up – the big waves connect this movement and their emotional state of mind.
A tsunami dream encourages the dreamer to examine these major emotional changes in one’s life and to make sure you are not consumed by these overwhelming thoughts or feelings that harbor below the surface.
