Diving Dream Meaning

Diving in a dream is a symbol of going down in search of a feeling or a truth hidden deep in your mind. Going under the water means moving past the level of conscious thought toward what lies beneath it, so this dream often comes when you are looking inside yourself for the answer to a question. The meaning depends on how you dived and how it felt.

• Diving fearlessly into deep water

  You have no hesitation right now about entering your world of emotions and thoughts.

• Running out of breath or feeling afraid underwater

  Your mind is not yet ready to face a hard truth.

• Diving from a height

  This scene captures the moment of making a bold new decision.

• Finding something underwater

  Many people have this dream. It stands for a new insight about yourself, or for meeting again with a truth you had forgotten.

A diving dream reminds you that to find answers, you sometimes need the courage to leave the surface and go a little deeper.
