Dreaming of Thirst

thirst, craving, dehydration, thirsty · mixed, depending on the water

Thirst is about aspiration: quenching it with clear water promises joy and wealth, with murky water, sorrow.

What happens in the dream

  • Others drink their fill: wealthy people will do you favours
  • You drink clear water: a joyful, prosperous life
  • You're thirsty: you're reaching for things still beyond you
  • You quench it with a pleasant drink: you'll get what you wish for
  • You drink murky, warm or dirty water: hard times unless you take care

How you felt

  • Lack: often an emotional need or an unmet longing
  • Desire: an ambition that wants feeding

Ask yourself

  • What am I really thirsting for?
  • Is what I'm reaching for actually good for me?
