I had a dream about an aquarium, any understanding?

Question

i have had a dream about being in a aquarium, at night in the dark. and all i could see were huge tanks around me very tall surrounding me, the water was very dark and murky and i knew things were in the water but i couldnt move and i was laying on the ground closing my eyes. i wanted to get out of there, but the only way i could do that was to open my eyes and look and walk out. but i was so afraid so i just lay there.

After that dream i am now afraid of aquariums and deep water.

maybe you just needed to pee  

Answer 2

This is a very direct dream, full of emotion. You didn't mention what you felt as you peered into the aquariums, but I bet it was dread and sadness. The aquariums represent locked away emotions, something you feel responsible for, and the murky water means not being in touch with exact nature of your feelings. Night and in the dark means you feel baffled about how to get in touch with those feeling, you also feel abandoned. You want to escape from these feelings, but you are overwhelmed and so that weighs you down and you can't escape from them. This is symbolized by you saying "I was so afraid, so I just lay there."

There are different reasons people might have this dream:

Depression

Being in denial about being abused

Not feeling equal to a situation in your waking life

I wish I knew more about your waking life, so I could be more exact...

Best Regards

Answer 3

To see an aquarium in your dream, signifies that you have acknowledged your emotions but have not yet confronted them. Thus, it may refer to your unconscious thoughts or repressed sexual desires. Also, you may feel that your life is going no where or that you feel it is going in circles. Alternatively, the aquarium may indicate that you need to calm down and set some time for yourself to relax and unwind.

Answer 4

Dreaming of being in aquariums may symbolize the need for attention seeking. However, due to the fact that your projecting is dark and you couldn't move, that suggest in your life that you may be feeling  helpless about things you want to do.

In translation, you are feeling the need for attention, and the recognition from others you want to get may not reach you expectation and that is why you feel you can't move or lack of control in your dream
