I was swimming in a calm ocean, then a big wave came and I felt overwhelmed.
Dream of wave, whipping
I dreamed where I was at a tennis court at the beach,and in the water they're people swimming, and the waves got bigger, and bigger then it got into a very large wave of water whipping out everyone, and people getting killed. so I hid in a tent and I survived the water wipe out that killed most people, then the sun started to come out and burn everyone, everyone was dying, and burning, while I still was hiding in the tent.

Dream Interpretation Analysis
Meaning of wave in a dream
Dreaming of a tidal wave, or any massive wave, is usually experienced from the viewpoint of watching it approach, either on shore, from a hill or some other near-by vantage point. This dream may often be accompanied by a sense of fear or panic. To understand dreams of this nature, it can help to start by understanding what water and the sea mean to us in dreams (see “Dream Meanings: Water” post.) If we look at water in our dreams as a symbol of our emotions and feelings, part of our inner world, then tidal waves can be like our emotions welling up and getting a little out of control. One of the advantages of being on shore or nearby watching the wave approach in the dream, is that it gives us an opportunity to step outside ourselves and look at what we we are feeling. This is usually a helpful thing to do when our emotions get so strong that they well up into a massive wave! Tidal waves often appear in our dreams when are under a lot of pressure or when significant change is occurring. They may be a an indication that we feel a little overwhelmed, that maybe we fear we won’t be able to cope or adjust with what we see in our own future. They may occur as recurring dreams, with the wave getting bigger or closer over subsequent nights. This may correspond to our increasing anxiety, or the looming date we fear getting closer. It is worth recognising that when we have these dreams there is often an area of our life that we are not looking at clearly, or that we are avoiding. Tidal wave dreams remind us that if we don’t confront and deal with things that are out of balance in our life, then they will confront us first! There are fewer clearer signs of confrontation than standing right before a towering body of surging water!

Meaning of whipping in a dream
To dream of whipping means you had made something bad and you want to redeem yourself. You think of the wrong you have made and how can you fix it now. To see someone else whipping another means you need to do good in the world. To be whipped yourself means you need to fix what's wrong you have made. To whip someone else is to punish yourself on something you haven't done.
