Dreams are considered to be a way for our subconscious mind to convey messages to us, and a water container is one of the symbols of these messages. This symbol can carry different meanings depending on the content of the dream, the material of the water container, the amount of water and its color. Let's explore these meanings together:
Water Container: Full or Empty?
A water container in a dream often represents our emotions, thoughts, and spiritual state. Whether the water container we see in our dream is full or empty gives us clues about the state of our inner world.
Full Water Container According to Ibn Sirin, seeing a full water container in a dream indicates that the person is materially or spiritually wealthy. It also shows that the person is emotionally satisfied, their mind is full and energetic. Imam Ghazali, on the other hand, interprets the full water container as a sign of blessing, happiness and progress in abundance in life.
Empty Water Container Abdullah bin Abbas interprets an empty water container as a sign that the person has a void in their spirituality, their inner world is impoverished or they are emotionally exhausted. Nablusi, on the other hand, interprets the empty water container as a sign of poverty, lack of money or inability to meet one's needs, materially or spiritually.
Water Container: What is its Material?
The material of the water container is an important detail in interpreting the dream.
Clay Pot Ibn Sirin says that a water container made of clay represents a life bound to traditional and cultural values, strength and durability. Seyyid Süleyman, on the other hand, says that the clay water container expresses a wisdom that comes from the person's past, a connection to their roots, and a life shaped by lessons from the past.
Metal Talim al-Hakim says that a water container made of metal represents the person's effort to achieve their goals, their self-confidence, perseverance and determination. Jung associates the metal water container with the outside world and shows the person's connection to external factors that affect their emotional and spiritual world.
Glass According to Freud, a glass water container represents the person's fragility, emotional sensitivity and vulnerability to external influences. Nablusi, on the other hand, attributes the glass water container to transparency, honesty and the person's spiritual enlightenment.
Water Container: Don't Ignore the Color of the Water!
The color of the water in the water container is also of great importance in interpreting the dream.
Clear Water Ibn Sirin interprets clear water as a symbol of health, happiness, peace and a clean conscience. Imam Ghazali, on the other hand, believes that clear water indicates wisdom, enlightenment and the beginning of a spiritual journey.
Dirty Water Seyyid Süleyman interprets dirty water as a sign of illness, distress, unhappiness and mixed emotions. Jung says that dirty water represents suppressed emotions and subconscious thoughts.
Red Water Freud interprets red water as a reflection of anger, love, passion and excessive emotions. Nablusi, on the other hand, interprets red water as a sign of danger and love.
Don't Forget!
Interpreting dreams is a very subjective matter. What does the water container you saw in your dream mean to you, what emotions does it evoke? Thinking about this will give you a clearer interpretation.
