I am having trouble interpreting two dreams that I've had?

Question

In the first one there is this huge beautiful waterfall. There is an old woman (who I feel spiritually attached to although we are two different people) swimming right on the edge with an ease and grace that is just frightening, despite the turbulent waters, because it is obviously inhuman.

The second I was in the ocean during a hurricane. All around me I see numerous people who have died in the ocean from greed. One man insisted on trying to swim after one gold coin, another drowned because his boat capsized during a storm, a woman in an 1800's gown because she didn't know how to swim, Yet I am floating easily on top. There were several "deaths" that I reviewed and many I didn't comprehend or I felt sorrow, or remorse for.

I have reviewed all my books, and looked on-line, but both elude me, on what their meaning was. I have even tried meditating on it, but I am no closer to understanding the significance of these two dreams, and I feel that they are actually subconscious answers to some emotional, and mental difficulties that I've been having.

Thankyou, to anyone that can help me with this.

Answer 1

Your really close to interpreting your own dream and in wondering if they are from your subconscious . The old woman that you feel so close to and all of the other people in the ocean are actually you. The waterfall and the ocean represent the spiritual aspects of yourself. The "shortcomings" that the different people died from are the ones that you worry that you have within yourself like greed, impulsiveness, lack of planning, etc. You are having a great spiritual search of yourself to cast out any of the "bad" aspects that could be causing you to feel the way you do right now in real life. The dream is telling you that even though the waters are turbulent and "shortcomings" could cause emotional "death," you are intelligent (the woman) enough to recognize them and overcome them. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

This is just my opinion and I don't know you.

Water in most contexts is about clean and pure.  That the water is turbulent is usually trouble.  The woman may be your spirit guide showing you how easy it really is to deal with trouble if your spiritual house is in order.  (Only you know if she is coaxing or confirming your readiness)

Your second dream may hint at the suggestion that you do have your spiritual house in order.  You are floating trouble free while others are succumbing to greed, lack of knowledge, defiance.  Because of your higher level of being you feel sorrow for those who have yet to attain that level.  Your dream guide may comfort you in the future so you know that some of these 'deaths' are really new beginnings with new chances for attainment.

Work in your waking life should be to help others and not worry so much about 'saving' people at to ease their journey.

Answer 3

There are at least 2 beautiful blonde around you. Hey, which one are you going to choose. Do you want one of the girls mother to tell you?

Answer 4

You are going through a profound change in your life.  Death is never literal in dreams but symbolic for change taking place in you so you can grow spiritually into an enlightened individual.

Water represents emotions and it appears that your emotions are flowing well and the woman is an aspect of your personality.  She represents the wiser part of yourself.  She/you know deep down in your soul that you can flow with the emotional turbulent that life brings about with ease, even though you doubt your ability at times.

Second dream:

The hurricane represents emotional turbulence that causes aspects of your personality to die/change.  I suspect you’re not greedy any longer.

The main that swam to get the gold coin is your animus.  This aspect of your personality dives into the unconscious realms of your mind to find the gold in your personality.

Again the other man who drowned is your animus.  He drowned because that part of you (ship) was not moving forward in life.

The woman is an aspect of you and your identity (gown) was outdated so she had to drown so you can update some issues in your life that are modern and fit the new outlook on your life's journey.

The other deaths are all aspects of your personality that are changing as you are growing spiritually.
