Dreaming About Waterfall
What it means
A waterfall often mirrors a powerful release of emotion — feelings finally moving after being held, with the same force and relief as water pouring over an edge.
In more detail
Standing under a waterfall can feel cleansing — a fresh start after letting something out. Being swept by one may mirror an emotion that feels too big to hold. Either way, the water keeps moving, and so does the feeling; nothing here is meant to stay.
