Water is symbolic of the emotional side of the human experience. To dream of being underwater is about being immersed in the nature of your feelings.

A common dream is to be able to breathe and move with ease underwater; this represents a level of grace and ease with a current emotional situation. Fear of being underwater reflects the opposite.

If it is you that is underwater, then it is your own life experience that is being expressed.

If someone else is underwater, then the aspect of your character that the person represents may be key to what is creating an upheaval of feelings.
