Big water surfaces, such as oceans and seas, symbolize and reflect feelings and emotions, so waves most often represent some of our emotions at any given moment. Dreams about tsunamis, tidal and huge waves are relatively common and are mostly followed by feelings of agitation and panic. These dreams usually occur when you’re going through a period of major changes in your life.
Dreams about waves could also reflect some internal struggles and turmoil you’re having and are a message to look deep within yourself and try to understand what your subconscious mind is telling you.
