Falling into the Well

Scholars have indicated that falling into an unknown well may carry various meanings depending on the dreamer's situation; it could signify death for the ill, damage for a sea traveler, being waylaid or betrayed for a land traveler, imprisonment for one in a dispute, or entering an undesirable place. If the water is murky, it points to dealing with an unjust ruler and suffering from his oppression, while clear water suggests interaction with a righteous person. Conversely, drawing water from an unknown well with a full, sound bucket could foretell good news such as the birth of a boy, the return of a traveler, recovery from illness, marriage for the single, or success in seeking help from authority, and it may also represent seeking knowledge or sustenance. The well itself can symbolize a cheerful woman or a good-natured man.
