Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
A leak is a breakdown in the structural integrity of something such that its ability to contain a liquid or gas is compromised. As such, there is a barely noticeable diminution of the contained substance.

The source of a leak can be difficult to find, and unless it is repaired, the leak will continue to do more and more damage. As a symbol, a leak can relate to anything that is slowly robbing you of passion, life force, energy, substance, or some other valuable essence. Look to your life where some persistently challenging person or circumstance is eroding your sense of power little by little.

The Bedside Dream Dictionary

Whether it is a leaky pipe or a bottle of soda, any type of a leak is usually a waste of energy and resources.

If you are dreaming about leaks, you may want to consider where you are wasting energy and resources ( be it in your daily life, emotional life or thinking). Additionally, look carefully at the entire dream and see if information is being “leaked” from the unconscious to the conscious.

The leaking water may represent emotions, thoughts, or insights entering slowly into the conscious experience of the dreamer.
