Dreaming of falling into deep water - dream meaning with inherited lore
This may be seen as holding the anxiety or pressure of feeling pulled into a situation where you can't see what lies ahead.
The ground gives way beneath you or you slip from an edge and fall into deep water. You can't see the bottom, and don't know how far you'll sink.
Korean lore: Traditionally, falling into deep water has sometimes been interpreted as deepening worries or getting caught up in something hard to escape. If you get out of the water, it may also be seen as those worries easing. (In folk dream interpretation, people often consider both how deep the water is and whether you get out, to understand the weight of worries or difficulties.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream when a responsibility feels heavy or it’s hard to know how things will turn out. If you’re feeling a vague anxiety, it may help to calmly break down what feels most burdensome.
