I am a mother. My dream started with my children and I looking up at a massive thousand foot tidal wave. It was still and seemed to not move but appeared to just be a wall of water. My daughter held one hand. My son held my other hand. We felt frozen in fear. I said we needed to jump in the base of the wave to survive it. We did, and I woke up.
Dreams involving tidal waves often symbolize overwhelming emotions or situations that feel out of control. In your dream, the massive tidal wave represents a significant challenge or fear that looms large in your life—or perhaps in the lives of your children. The stillness of the wave suggests that while the threat is present, it might not be immediate or actively crashing down on you yet, but it's still a source of anxiety.
Holding your children's hands signifies your role as a protector and your deep connection with them. The act of all three of you wanting to jump into the base of the wave could symbolize a collective decision to face your fears head-on rather than waiting for the wave to crash down. This could reflect your instincts as a mother to lead your children through difficult situations with courage and resilience.
The feelings of fear and being frozen might represent anxiety about the future or uncertainty in your life, possibly concerning your children’s well-being or your own. However, the choice to jump in also reflects bravery and the idea of tackling the challenges together as a family.
Waking up at that moment may suggest that you are in a transitional phase, perhaps waking up to a new reality or understanding in your life, where facing difficulties may be necessary for growth and survival.
Overall, this dream might be emphasizing themes of fear, the importance of family, and the necessity of confronting challenges together.
