Dreaming of stepping into deep water and struggling to keep your head above itYou are facing circumstances beyond your depth and ability to handle alone, needing to call out for spiritual help and salvation.

Dreaming of being caught in a raging river during floodsYou are experiencing overwhelming circumstances or catastrophe, yet God's powerful presence and Holy Spirit can deliver you through these waters of trial.

Dreaming of drowning in a river while undergoing spiritual transformationYou are overwhelmed by the spiritual cleansing and deliverance work of God's Holy Spirit, which is removing spiritual blockages and obstacles from your life.

Dreaming of sinking deeper as depression and self-pity increase around youYou are being overcome by circumstances that have led to depression and despair, feeling submerged by hopelessness and self-pity.

Dreaming of deciding to drown yourself or commit suicide by drowning in a riverYou are choosing to give up and abandon the spiritual deliverance process that God is working in your life, refusing to allow His cleansing work to complete its course.
