Waterfall in Dreams

Dreaming about a waterfall may be reflective of the current state you are in. It symbolizes that your mind is full of great imagination and vitality. Eventually, this would lead to an outburst of creative energy.

However, if you envision yourself on a boat in your dream going over the waterfall, it means that you feel like you lack control. It may also mean that there are too many things in your life which are overwhelming you and consuming all your time and effort. A waterfall in your dream may be representative of the fact that you are letting go of something. No matter how hard you try to hold onto water in your hands, it will always slip through your grasp. Therefore, a waterfall in dream is symbolic of letting go.

Waterfalls can also be a symbol of cleansing, spiritual renewal, and removal of sin. The dream effect is to signify a time for oneself where one is able to wash away all negative emotional issues or events that have been plaguing them.

  1. hi. hope that my dream will be answered. I dreamt about my late mom coming to me asking to write some numbers for her. I still was physically writing the numbers on a piece of paper.
    Again she came to me asking me to call someone on my cell phone , also I physically call the number, when the male voice answered I apologize as if it was dialed mistakenly.

  2. Hello, I hope someone can help me with this dream. I dreamt I was with someone then we were being chased by waves. The waves were strong, its like a high tide kind of wave. We were driving a car at this point. Then suddenly, it changed into I’m seeing waterfalls. Like in my dream, they were very beautiful and I thought this is a tourist destination. The water is clear and i was in awe. Then suddenly, we got out from an underground. The waterfall was hidden in an underground. It was so amazing.

    I don’t know if this means something but if anyone can help me shed light to my dream, it would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

  3. I had two super realistic waterfall dreams two days in a row.

    The first dream was me staring down a famous waterfall, as big of an accomplishment as climbing Mt Everest, and I was at the bottom about to climb it. It was huge. Going up it with the water splashing down was grueling, and it seemed endless. Finally i made it to the top, there were a few climbers there but no one extended a hand. They tell you you have to hoist yourself up over it for it to count. Even though i was so tired i did it. I felt so accomplished.

    The next dream (the next night) was being in a very clear large waterfall on the top. A friend went over it and i got in to try to help save them from falling but couldn’t get a grip and did the same. The fall was so vivid – just seconds of silence. It was a really high fall, and below was water not rocks so i felt relaxed. I looked around with awe and curiosity.

  4. I dreamed I was walking down a path with a metal push cart, like the kind you’d carry laundry. As I go down this path, it starts to turn into a river with waves. Ahead of me I see a group of people washed away from a wave into the river. I decide to turn around and walk back up the path. I make a turn and the path turns into a river again and all of a sudden a huge waterfall is ahead of me. Before I see it, it is there, and my push cart falls over. I am about to fall over it and am grappling with the edge trying to hold on. Then I wake up, slight adreniline in my body.

  5. I was standing at the edge of a mountain looking far off ahead of me and I could see this humongous mountain with a beautiful waterfall falling off of it. Water was beautiful. Very long waterfall. But then I noticed a second waterfall falling on top of the one that was on the mountain. I started following the other waterfall with my eye’s and as i was looking up i saw that the other water fall was coming from high in the sky coming out of these white puffy clouds falling onto the waterfall that was already on the mountain. It was an awe inspiring image. I’ve never had a dream like this before.

  6. I was in a boat and on a water fall moving very fast with rocky bottom but the boat didn’t crash because the water was always subsiding the rocks. Suddenly, the water fall entered a very big and quite river which looks like a new world with strange people.

  7. I saw in my dream that i am on a plane or helicopter, and i am riding over the niagara falls and i am admiring the waterfall from a very less distance. The pilot is also getting the plane very close to the falls and then up again in a funny and enjoyable way. What does that mean?

  9. The dream started in a large area of water, not sure if a river or lake. I think there were about 4 others with me and we we treading water in murky water and supporting ourselves on debris, logs, branches etc. We then stared to form a circle and began to swirl as we gained momentum, trying to get to more substantial ground. However, we then started to gain forward momentum as the flow increased. The next I recall seeing only myself going over the edge of a waterfall skimming along the edge/rocks as I splashed into the first pool of water. Upon reaching the surface I then started again with the flow of water to the next waterfall. Going over the edge and seeing that the height of the drop was substantial did put fear in me. However, I continued to fall and then went into the deep water, surfacing a short time later. It was at this point I awoke..

  11. I was going through a dark cave/tunnel, it was beautiful. I was being pushed through it by just swaying through the water. As I got further I began to see a light and I thought it was pretty but it got brighter as I went on. Soon I figured out that if I’m swaying through water and there’s a bright light at the end of this cave there has to be a drop off but before I knew I was trying my best to hold on but I fell down stories down of a water fall. I felt a huge pit in my stomach like it was real and I hit the water and came up with the most amazing feeling ever.

  12. I dreamt I was in a very large pond. There where 3 waterfalls that where wide, rushing smoothly but with great strength into the pond. I was very close to one and could feel the force of the water. It pushed me to the other waterfalls and so on.

  13. I dreamt I was in a inflatable boat with a close friend and a waterfall was coming up. We were both scared out of our minds, then I saw a tree trunk and grabbed ahold of it, I grabbed my friends hand she held on for as long as she could but went over anyway. I looked down and she was ok. So I mustered enough courage and took the plunge, I was ok too. In fact it was a little bit too much fun.

  14. I dreamt I was on a boat with my brother and he accidentally while in reverse in calm water did not see the waterfall he was backing near. My other brother was on another boat yelling out to him but we went over. I remember thinking there’s nothing I can do and I saw how high up we were and knew I would not survive the fall.
