Tidal waves or tsunamis suggest that you may be in a period of emotional upheaval. Anxiety, stress, and unconscious materials may be coming to the surface and affecting your daily moods. Giant tidal waves from your dream may be symbolic of current emotional unhappiness and psychological stress that may be threatening to destroy or uproot you.

The outcome of this dream could reveal to you how much strength you have to “ride out” this storm.

Interpretation 3 — Dream Explanations - Anonymous

Dreams of a tidal wave signify emotional overwhelm, as in extreme sadness or as in falling in love. Your dream is reflecting that you are undergoing great transformation and the message for you is to dive down into the deep end of your emotional ocean where the waters are still, calm, and peaceful. Or, if you prefer, allow yourself the space to cry and release any energy that has been held back.
