Thirst
Thirst often points to a longing that hasn't yet found its name—something you want but may not have let yourself reach for. Whether the thirst is satisfied or left unmet in the dream can help you notice what you're ready to ask for, and what still feels too far away.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for thirst, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of being thirsty, shows that you are aspiring to things beyond your present reach; but if your thirst is quenched with pleasing drinks, you will obtain your wishes.
To see others thirsty and drinking to slake it, you will enjoy many favors at the hands of wealthy people.
Fontaine, 1862
If any one dream of thirst or of drinking water, if the water appear clear and acceptable, he will live joyfully and become wealthy; if the water be troubled, warm, or offensive, it forewarns him that without prudence, he will end his days in affliction.
