Dreaming of River

A clear river running steady foretells steady gain and dealings with honest people; to drink from it is health. Crossing safely to the far bank denotes a matter concluded well.

A muddy or roaring river warns of a powerful person's anger, or affairs moving too fast for prudence. To be swept off your feet in the crossing signals a venture attempted before its time.

The river is the life current of the psyche, feeling in motion, going somewhere. To swim with it or ride it in a boat is to be in accord with your own unfolding, the direction underneath the days.

A river in flood is the unconscious moving faster than the ego can steer, and a dry riverbed is vitality gone underground. Fighting upstream all night points to a life argued with instead of lived.
