Biblical Meaning Of Fetching Water In A Dream


The Bible says so much about water, but one thing that stands out in all of these is that, water can either be beneficial or destructive. We see a clear picture of this in the following verse:

Isaiah 43:2 NIV
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.

There are waters that God needs to protect us from, and there are waters God wants us to have or experience—because they are necessary for our survival. 

Psalm 23:2 ESV
He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 

For instance, seeing oneself caught in flooding water in a dream is often a bad omen, whereas, bathing clean water in dream is often a good omen. 

Fetching water in a dream can sometimes be pleasing, and some other times, it can be disturbing. Dreams about water in general should not be taken lightly, as such dreams can have serious impacts on the dreamer's waking life. 

We can put out the biblical meaning of fetching water in a dream as follows:

Water is one of the major necessities of life; it is very crucial for the wellbeing of every living thing God created on earth. But there are healthy and unhealthy water; clean and unclean water. God doesn't give us water that is not good for us. 

Therefore, fetching the right kind of water from the right source in your dream is truly a good omen. But if the water we see in our dreams is not in good condition, then this could symbolize problems in our waking life. 

John 4:14 KJV 
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 

According to the above scripture, God gives us water springing up into everlasting life, but delivers us from troubling waters. This tells us that not all waters are the same. 

Dream of fetching clean water from a tap, fetching water from a well in a dream, fetching water from the river in the dream can symbolize wholesomeness, cleansing, blessing, restoration or prosperity. The condition here is that the water has to be clean

When the water that is being fetched in the dream is not clean, this is often an indication that such is not a good dream, andtthat there are things the dreamer needs to pray against when they wake up. 

Spiritual Meaning Of Fetching Water In The Dream


We can as well say that the spiritual meaning of fetching water in the dream has a connection with the Holy Spirit. On several occasions in scriptures, our Lord Jesus always used the word 'living water' to refer to the Holy Spirit filling us up to the brim:  

Isaiah 44:3 NLT
For I will pour out water to quench your thirst and to irrigate your parched fields. And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your children.

With that being said, dreams about fetching clean and clear water often symbolizes the following:

  1. Spiritual cleansing
  2. Fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit
  3. Blessings
  4. Financial Breakthrough
  5. Prosperity and Progress
 
As you can see, if you found yourself fetching clean water in the dream, such is often a good omen. 

Ezekiel 36:25-26 KJV  
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. [26] A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.   

Note that, if you saw someone else fetching your water in a dream, this could symbolize a serious spiritual attack against all that God has in store for you. 

Fetching Water From The River In The Dream


Fetching clean water from a river in a dream is a sign of walking in the blessings of God. See the river as a vast supply of God's physical and spiritual provision for His children. It is a privilege to be a benefactor of God's blessings. 

Psalm 1:3 NIV
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.

In the book of Isaiah 44:3, we see something very spectacular said about rivers. The Lord said that He will pour out water like a river on the thirsty land, and His blessings upon His people. Therefore, fetching clean water from the river is a very positive dream, symbolizing that God's blessings have been enormously released for the dreamer. 

Carrying Water Dream Meaning


Carrying clean water in a dream symbolizes efforts; positive efforts or investments that a person is giving into their job, purpose, destiny or relationships with others. And such efforts are suppose to yield positive results in return. 

If you experienced problems while carrying water in the dream, this is not a good omen. If the water you carried about in your dream was dirty and muddy, this is also not a good dream. 

Another instance is that, there are people or see themselves slip and fall while carrying water in their dream. This points to wasteful efforts and investments. The dreamer is likely devoted to something that will fail to yield the required results. May that not be your portion, in the Name of Jesus Christ! 

Fetching Water From Tap In Dream


Fetching water from a tap in a dream can either be a good or bad omen. Fetching unclean water from a tap is not something anyone would love to do, even in their waking life. 

Proverbs 5:15-16 KJV 
Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. [16] Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.  

In our modern world, tap water is currently the cleanest source of water. Tap water is more preferable because it's purer and somewhat superior to water gotten from a well. 

To dream of fetching water from a tap or well is a sign of great prosperity, progress, breakthrough, restoration and blessings. 

1. Tap Water Overflowing Dream Meaning


To dream of tap water overflowing symbolizes enjoying the overflow of God's blessings. Just be sure that the tap water you saw in your dream was clean. 

This dream can also reveal that the dreamer will soon be filled with the Holy Spirit to the overflow. 

Another side to this dream is wastefulness. Be sure that you are not wasting the resources and blessings God has committed to you, because He expects you to be a good steward of the same. 

Fetching Dirty Water In A Dream


If water you fetched on your dream is unclean, this possibly speaks of the presence of sin in the dreamer's life—which requires they confesses it and receive the cleansing of the Blood and of the Holy Spirit. 

If the water gotten from the tap or well is dirty, it is a pointer to the presence of sin, demonic attacks, difficulties and disappointments in the dreamer's waking life. 

This should be prayed against and cancelled. Sins should be confessed and forsaken.

Finding It Difficult Fetching Water In A Dream


To experience difficulty fetching water in a  dream is a sign of the presence of obstacles on the dreamer's path to success and progress
It points to the presence of a hindrance to receiving and walking in the blessings of God. 

Much prayers should be made in order to cancel and avert the effects of this sort of dreams. 

Dream Of Someone Fetching Water For Me


If you dream about someone fetching water for you, this is a good omen. But you have to be sure that this person was helping to fetch the water for you (not for their self). 

This dream often indicates that you are not without help. You have God's help and you have good friends and family who are willing to help you become the person God destined you to be. You have divine connections. 

The person who fetches water for you in the dream is often a destiny helper. That can either be God Himself or divinely ordained destiny helpers that God assigned to you. 

No One To Help You Fetch Water In Dream


When you dream about struggling to fetch water from a tap, well or river while there are people around looking at you and refusing to help, it is a warning for the dreamer to be careful with the kind of people he/she associates with. 

If people are discouraging you from fetching the water, it is an indication there are many enemies against your progress and there is the need to be more prayerful and careful with those in your circle. 

Such dreams should also teach us to look up to God and trust Him alone for help, not humans. 

Dream About Someone Fetching Your Water


There are people who constantly see dreams of someone fetching their water and taking it away. This dream is similar to someone stealing from you in a dream

Such a dream is often a serious spiritual attack against the dreamer’s destiny. If you saw a dream of a strange person fetching water from the water source in your family, this shows that the great destinies of the family members are under serious demonic bondage and manipulation. 

To dream about someone fetching water from your own tap or well or taking the clean water you fetched without your permission is a sign of stolen glory. A demonic spiritual thief has been assigned to rob you of your spiritual blessings and prosperity. This must be dealt with through serious prayers and fasting.

Prayers Against Someone Fetching Your Water 


  1. By the authority of Jesus Christ, I come against every demonic dream manipulation against my destiny. I command them to be destroyed now, in the Name of Jesus Christ! 
  2. Powers of darkness fighting hard to steal my blessings, be arrested now, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ! 
  3. By the power of the Holy Ghost, I take back what the enemy has stolen from me through demonic dreams, in the Name of Jesus Christ! 
  4. Every stolen glory, blessings and breakthrough, I declare them restored now, in the Name of Jesus Christ! 
  5. Powers fighting hard to divert my breakthrough and prevent the manifestion of my destiny, be frustrated now, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ! 
  6. Every dream manipulation against the things that God has blessed me with, I command you to cease now, in the Name of Jesus Christ! 
  7. Father, arise and fight for me. You gave me a great destiny and not the enemy. The devil and his cohorts shall not be able to hinder it from coming to pass, in the Name of Jesus Christ!
