River in a dream
Stands for the course of the dreamer's life — their life direction. The river's character and appearance — swift or slow, no more than a stream or running full, clean or dirty, deep or shallow — reveals how the instincts are behaving. The surrounding landscape describes the dreamer's overall situation, along with the personal and social consequences their behavior has produced. A river that runs clear and flows toward the sea speaks of self-realization and of the dreamer approaching the beginning of an integral, onto-vision of the world.
