![]() ![]() As with dreams of pursuit or being chased, this dream alerts you to areas of your unconscious that are creating conflict and need to be examined with care.įalling and jumping in an attempt to escape from hostile pursuers in a dream is a desperate escape mechanism and suggests that you might have more success if you turn at the last minute to face your enemies, having found the strength to confront them. The Element Encyclopediaĭrowning in deep water suggests floundering in the depths of the unconscious. If, however, the earth in your dream is barren and nothing is growing, this could indicate that you are emotionally and physically exhausted by the demands of waking life. If what you are taking from the earth is vegetables or things to eat, these are the fruits of your past efforts, and suggest benefits arising in your life. A dream of healthy crops may suggest that your waking ventures or family are flourishing. ![]() Then again, planting dreams may refer to your thoughts about starting a family. The dream seeds may refer to the planting of an intellectual or creative concept that has the potential to grow if placed in fertile ground and cared for. If your dream depicted you planting a seed, try to make a connection with your waking life. Anything growing from the earth in your dream shows something that has developed from the possibilities of your life, and who you are. It could also depict your fear of unpalatable hidden truths being exposed in waking life. Is someone having a dig at you in waking life? Did your dream reflect your entrenched, firmly held opinions? Or was your unconscious urging you to adopt a more down-to-earth approach? If you are a gardener, you will know that although the earth is the giver of sustenance, security and new life, each life cycle also has an end, so when earth figures in a dream, it may also indicate the end of a phase in life and the beginning of a new oneĪ dream about digging, watering or feeding the earth may therefore suggest your desire to begin a new phase. If you are trying to bury something, what are you trying to cover up or hide in waking life? Bear in mind the expressions associated with digging, too. So if you are digging in your dream, is there something you need to learn about your past? Or is there something you want to find out, a vital piece of information that will complete the picture? If you are uncovering an object or old bones, then you are probably becoming conscious of long buried memories and feelings from your past. In other words, it is both the physical material from which things grow as well as the overall environment in which something new can grow. It is the womb of the past from which you are born. ![]() It represents the soil, the genetic material, and the background from which you have sprung. Therefore, digging into it will tend to uncover things-most often feelings-you have buried there from your past. Just as the physical earth is made up of past events-the trees and leaves, the plants and creatures that have lived and crumbled into the dust of the soil-so the earth of your dream represents the past on which your present depends and your future is built. The dream can also arise among adults who find themselves not only in a difficult new situation, but in a situation that does not allow them to express their own concerns. It should be seen as a reminder of your ability to survive tough circumstances, even when you feel out of your depth. This kind of dream tends to be outgrown by the time one reaches the age to leave home, but it can and does re-emerge if you are thrown into difficult, new or challenging situations in adult life. It shows that a sense of panic is not only natural but necessary to discover the ability to breathe (survive) in a new environment (underwater). The water theme suggests a sense of being overwhelmed and vulnerable to the situations that surround us. Like the dreams of flying, this dream is also about discovering abilities during times of crisis or when thrown into a particular situation. Then, incredibly, just as they realize they are going to drown, they continue breathing and can breathe underwater in their dream. In this nightmare with a happy ending, a child may dream that they are drowning and unable to reach the surface to breathe. ![]()
