Whirlpool dream meaning is explained below using 14 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox
Any image involving water relates to an experience of your emotions. In the case of a whirlpool, the implication is that there is a circling back over some focused point again and again until the momentum created pulls you down to your ultimate demise. This is what happens when you perseverate over some challenge that is causing an emotional reaction as a persistent thought or feeling.
The whirlpool in your dream is asking you to consider what you can’t let go of.

(2) If the ‘feel’ of the whirlpool is good, it may mean either that you are in the grip of a negative death-wish or that you are being invited to descend into your unconscious to discover more about yourself.
