One way that people deal with frustrations they feel is through dreams about dams, even if they deny the emotions forefront. These dreams give an outlet for all of these buried emotions without effort or consequences. There is a relief that comes with letting bottled up emotions out in a safe environment.
We often try to put up a tough persona in our waking lives. On the surface, it might seem like we are successful, with nothing holding us back at all. But then there are moments where we realize how difficult it is to ignore feelings and repress them deep within ourselves.
Also, the most popular dream interpretation of seeing a dam is that what is repressed becomes projected: bursting forth to inflict mental and emotional suffering, overwhelming the person and stopping him from resolving his dilemma. What is repressed becomes the fundamental driving principle in dreams about dams.
Be aware that you may have an outburst if you are not able to contain your anger in waking situations after dreaming about dams the night before.
