Transformation and rebirth can only be accomplished by a total immersion in spirituality, which is where the symbolism of total immersion in baptism came from, as well as that of being washed clean. To dream of being totally immersed in water generally indicates the way we handle our own emotions, that we are attempting to find the more innocent part of ourselves that does not need to be affected by external circumstances. To be totally immersed totally focused on something in a dream indicates we need to be able to concentrate entirely on one particular thought or idea to help us understand ourselves We are attempting to clarify situations and to cleanse ourselves, perhaps of ideas and attitudes that have been suggested to us by other people.
