Water and Nature Dreams

What Does It Mean to Dream About a Waterfall?

Waterfalls are breathtaking displays of power and gravity. In dreams, they represent an unstoppable force of emotion or change.

Standing under a waterfall signifies a profound emotional or spiritual cleansing—washing away the old to make way for the new. Falling down a waterfall, however, points to a terrifying loss of control over a rapidly changing situation.

Questions to Ask Yourself

  • Were you admiring the waterfall, washing in it, or falling down it?
  • What massive emotional release have you recently experienced?
