What does it mean when you have a dream about being in bowl of water?

Answer 1

Your dream takes a common expression and presents it as a literal picture. There are a number of common expressions about "being in it now," or "she's in deep," or "he's up to his neck." The idea of being "in" something is shown by your being in the bowl of water.

Answer 2

A tub of wate generally suggests cleaning or bathing. Your dream is telling you something needs to be cleaned... forgiven, perhaps? Another possibility, depending on the emotional tone of the dream, could be that you are feeling "washed up," in the sense of being finished with something. The meaning could change depending on whether the water in the tub is fresh and clean itself or dirty and foul.
