symbolism of water, biblical, and in literature

Latetly I have noticed How fascinated I am with water, and I was wondering what religios symbolism has been placed in/ about water. Dreams or anything really. IT has the strangest amounts of calming to where i can just see a picture of water and all my anger seems to melt. liek it washes away with rushing of water. so I am wondering if i can get some help.

In Christianity, water symbolizes cleansing and purity. Check out these articles from the Catholic Encyclopedia:
1. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07432a.htm
2. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15564a.htm

Water also symbolizes a return to our original nature (early life began in water) and rebirth. I have the same feeling around water--calming and a sense of freedom. In my case, it is because I was born near the ocean and now live in the mountains some 300 miles away. Were you born near the ocean?

some help: a. Water cannot be destroyed. Jesus said "I am that living water"
St. John 3:00 "Unless a man is born of "water" and spirt he cannot see the kingdom.
I was also born near the ocean.
