Water changes with the environment it is placed in. If under intense winds, it can become a destructive storm or if secluded in a remote mountainous area it becomes a tranquil sanctuary. In our dreams it is no different. If the sky is dark and gloomy with a turbulent sea in the horizon, the water will personify the form of an ominous warning. Yet, if refreshed and lying beside still waters the principles for defining the prophetic meaning of water will take on the form of life and vitality. 

For dreams, to define water properly you must place it in context of the mood and emotion of a dream. Below I illustrate this with a dream I had. 

One night, I was having dream after dream about demons making me do a series of tests. When I would fail or mess up they would torture me as my punishment. To say these dreams were demonic would be an understatement, but after the fourth or fifth one of these dreams I have another dream, but this time about water. In it I am standing in a line and we are all singing in chorus, "Oh Lord, baptize my soul." As we sang, one by one, we would walk up to my pastor who would then pull a lever, making water rain down on each person. 

As I stepped up to him, I could feel the weight of the entire night of demonic encounters which had come against me. I felt heavy, dirty, and undeserving of even the song we were singing. But as the water poured over me I became clean and every fear, doubt, and failure washed away. 

When I awoke, I felt completely different. I went from heavy and terrified to feeling completely light and free. In my dream, water literally washed away all the nights' demonic activity—almost making me completely forget about the bad encounters I had just before this dream. The water represented and personified what Jesus paid for. The water literally transformed me and brought me into "Life abundantly" (John 10:10). 

Water in dreams is amoral—meaning neither good or bad. Water is an object that is used by the one beholding and shaping it. In the Bible, it's taken on the nature of storms or as metaphors for peace and salvation. Therefore, in our dreams it is no different. Take your dream and break it down and focus on the spirit behind it, not just the details and facts in it. The spirit will tell you much more about the meaning of the details then the details can about the spirit. If the emotion/spirit takes on more of the characteristics from Galatians 5, Fruit of the Spirit, then it is most likely good and God. But if the spirit is leading you to hopelessness and to do something sinful then you can easily attribute and define water or whatever other detail you are trying to define as being bad.
