What does dreaming about water mean in the Bible?

Life, cleansing, and the Spirit God pours out

In Scripture

In Scripture, water is the life God gives — He leads beside still waters, and Jesus offers living water that satisfies the deepest thirst. Calm water often speaks of peace and renewal; deep or troubled water, of seasons God carries us through. If water filled your dream, ask what in your life is thirsty for Him.
