Water

Water is the most universal dream symbol for the unconscious. Jung returned to it repeatedly: the clarity or murkiness of dream-water maps the dreamer’s current relationship to feeling and intuition. Clear water is access; murky water, material not yet conscious; dark water, the depths of the Self still to be met. Flowing water suggests emotion in motion; still water, a surface available for reflection. The state and kind of water in your dream is often the most diagnostic single detail. Notice whether you are in, on, or beside it.
