Calm
To dream of feeling calm represents feelings of being aware of yourself waiting, being patient, or not reacting. Feeling good not needing to react. Feeling that nothing currently serious happening while thinking about a problem or uncertain situation. Accepting a situation as it is. Predictability or steadiness during uncertain or dangerous experiences. Feelings about a dangerous or uncertain situation not being a serious problem in the current moment, but that definitely has the potential to be. A general sense that nothing is wrong.
Negatively, dreaming of feeling calm may reflect feelings about how awful it feels to wait or be patient. Not reacting to something dangerous or awful. Feelings about other people being cold, empty, or patient with something very unpleasant or inconvenient for you. A cold all business mindset. Cold decisions that don't need to explain or feel empathy for others. Passive aggression. Noticing an obvious problem and not doing anything about it. Behavior that is "unflappable" to terrible news, embarrassment, or insults. Coldly listening without a reaction. A sign that you are too passive while experiencing a situation that deserves a more assertive reaction. Being completely remorseless or without a conscience while waiting for reactions or consequences to something dishonest you are doing. A general sense that nothing is wrong while overlooking or ignoring something dangerous.

Example: A person dreamed of bear waiting calmly. In waking life they were aware of their nephew being in the hospital on life support with no chance of survival.
Example 2: A woman dreamed of being very paranoid while her roommate was very calm. In waking life her roommate had surprised her with deciding to move out leaving her with needing to find a new accommodation within months. In this case the symbolism of seeing her roommate calm may have reflected her feelings about how easy it was for her roommate to be so cold and "all business" minded about moving out leaving her with a big problem of needing to find a new place.
Example 3: A woman dreamed of seeing calm water while her son drifted off further way from her in the water. In waking life she felt that there was a potential problem with the relationship between her and her husband that might be getting worse without any obvious signals such as anger.
Example 4: A woman dreamed of being calm while watching a tsunami coming towards her. In waking life she was expecting the wife of a man she was have a relationship to confront her. The feelings of calm may have reflected her feelings of remorseless for having an intimate relationship with married man while waiting for the wife to confront her.
Example 5: A woman dreamed of being calm before rain started. In waking life she was waiting for medical lab results and was worried about the results.
