Psychology
A spring reflects ideas and vitality welling up from within. When tired, the wish to recover may appear as spring water. Scooping and drinking means you are beginning to claim that strength.
Folklore and history
Across Japan, legends tell of a traveling monk striking the ground with his staff to bring forth water, many attributed to Kobo Daishi. Springs were revered and protected as sacred water. In dream lore, a spring is a lucky sign of talent and fortune welling up.

This site's view
In this site's view, ask for whom the spring flowed. The monk's legends were about water for people in need. Someone beside the spring means your gifts can help them now; drinking alone means you may put filling yourself first.
Going deeper: our reading
Spring water is explained as rain and snow that soak into mountains, filter slowly through soil and rock, and emerge after a long time. At springs across Japan, local people come with containers to draw water, showing how treasured it is. In this site's reading, people who dream of springs are often at a point where long-accumulated experience and learning finally surface in visible form. Filling a flask at the spring suggests storing strength for what lies ahead; watching fine sand swirl up from the bottom, something quietly beginning to stir deep inside; sharing the water with someone, the ease to share what you have; a spring running dry, a sign you need more rest. This is our speculation, but the dream may teach that today's effort will someday become water that refreshes someone.
What to do on waking
