We have no control over the content of our dreams. They come to us unbidden and are often strange and surreal. Sometimes we can dream about waves, therefore a question arises: why do we dream of waves and what is the meaning of those dreams?

Because of that, there are some big differences between the meaning of dreams about waves, but at the same time, there are some general meanings that are common for all of them.
