To dream of deep water in which you cannot clearly see the bottom shows both the unknown potential within you and your fear of activating this power. A deep hole can symbolize feelings of being in a rut at the same time that it can suggest feelings associated with the mother. Whenever the idea of ‘deep’ appears in a dream, it is a good exercise to meditate on the imagery and actively explore what ‘lies below the surface.’ This type of dream is often associated with the activation of unconscious information as it seeks to have expression.
