What does it mean to dream of a stream

The current appears in dreams to speak of the constant flow of transformations in our lives - a flow that does not attend to our will and that is impossible to contain, no matter how much we may fight against it. So, if you dreamed of a current, you are having trouble accepting or following transformations that have already happened, are happening or are yet to happen in your life.

In general, there is a lot of anxiety involved in dreams like this, rhythms can get a little frantic and tempers quite altered. In this article, you will see how some details of your dream can add to or modify the meanings of it.

To dream of streams in various intensities

The strength of the current in your dream is a very important element for the analysis of its meaning. See below the difference between dreaming of strong current and weak current.

To dream of a strong current

The strong current in your dream represents a set of profound and radical changes that has occurred in your life, is occurring or may occur soon. To dream of a strong current involves many feelings and it is quite common that one or some of them are still present after you have awakened.

Try to slow down a little and distance yourself as much as possible from the situations in which you are most deeply involved. An outside look or a little more care may clarify the whole situation or even resolve insecurities and other unfounded doubts. Take a deep breath and don't make impulsive decisions, wait for things to calm down.

To dream of a weak current

A dream of a weak current usually expresses frustration over some project or situation that you expected much more of, and that had everything to go right. Certainly the circumstances and people involved are not contributing much, but still, it is quite possible that you yourself are responsible for things not going as expected.

When you dream of a weak current, make a sincere self-evaluation before pointing fingers or demanding changes in attitude. Above all, ask yourself about your real motivations and goals. From there, you can reformulate strategies or at least reduce the effects of your own frustrated expectations.

To dream of streams in different places

The place where the stream is in your dream gives an idea of where transformations take place in your life and add other important elements to the interpretation of the dream - as you can check from now on.

To dream of flowing waterfalls

To dream of a stream in a waterfall points to profound and unexpected changes that may have marked your past or that your unconscious has anticipated and are about to happen very soon. The good news is that, in this case, it is more likely to be positive changes than negative ones.

Observe the feelings evoked in the dream. If they were good, then there is really nothing to worry about, and you may even be surprised by a rather pleasant novelty. If they were bad feelings, try first of all to relax and get rid of any evident traces of anxiety.

Then, as you see fit, talk to people you trust and share your doubts or regrets. Sometimes saying out loud what's bothering you takes away almost all of its power and importance.

To dream of a current at sea

The current of the sea appears in dreams to express the feelings of helplessness in knowing that nothing is ever entirely under control. To dream of a current at sea indicates a beginning of anxiety about it.

Depending on the intensity of the current or its effects on your dream, they eventually lead to awakening or to the permanence of unpleasant feelings even after waking up. Do relaxation exercises and assess the need to intervene to control your anxiety.

Seek the expression of poets and thinkers regarding the fact that everything in the world is constantly changing and, if you feel comfortable with someone for this, get it off your chest yourself. The only "cure" for this case is to accept and try to adapt to the transformations that escape our will.

To dream of stream in the city

Generally, the current in the city appears in dreams as an expression of anxiety and confusion in the face of the great amount of information and stimuli of modern life. This excess in our society generates a lot of insecurity and the feeling that "there is nowhere to hold on to," that nothing and no one is trustworthy.

When you dream of streams in the city, practice meditation and relaxation exercises, preferably outdoors and in contact with nature. Take a deep breath and drink plenty of water. As much as possible, slow down the pace, get away from the rush of everyday life and try to enjoy more of the amenities that only the city has to offer.

To dream of stream with water in several states

The quality of the flowing water in your dream brings fundamental information to the understanding of the dream. Below, see what the currents of dirty water, clear and clean water or muddy water mean.

To dream of running dirty water

Dirty water current appears in dreams symbolizing the most stressful and painful transformations in your life, whether they be future, present, or past. It usually functions as an expression of your fatigue and emotional exhaustion in the face of uncontrollable changes that are deeply contrary to your desires.

Take time to take care of yourself, with attention and, above all, compassion for the human condition, fragile and powerless in the face of life. None of this is "cool" or unimportant, wounds need care and only you truly know yours. Seek help among those you trust, you will find that many share your fatigue and can offer good support.

To dream of a clear, clean stream

If you dreamed of clear, clean current, perhaps you are a little apprehensive about changes that are underway in your life, challenges that really consume you, but are located in or very close to your comfort zone or area of dominance. Probably the current in your dream was not too strong, and eventually you may have even gotten to swim in these waters.

There is not much to do when dreaming of a clear, clean current other than trust yourself and give yourself some time. Keep anxiety under control as you follow or even lead the changes that are taking place. There is no way to accurately predict their outcome, but there is a way to calculate how far you have been from offering your best.

To dream of a muddy current

To dream of a muddy current expresses great concern about changes and transformations triggered by something which was most likely of your own choosing, or at the very least supported by you. It probably refers to a fear about other people involved, either because they are at some real risk, or because the relationship between you is seriously threatened by these transformations.

Talk to the people you are worried about, try to listen to them carefully and get to know their real interests and motivations. As much as possible, express your worries yourself and listen to what they have to say about them. Breathe slowly and deeply, keep your anxiety under control.

To dream that something or someone is carried away by the current

The people and situations involved in dreams of a stream change or add new meanings to the dream. Check below to see what some specific and more common situations in such dreams may be trying to tell you.

To dream that you are carried away by a current

To dream that you are carried away by the current reveals anxiety and anguish, and it is very common to wake up in the middle of such a dream. Usually, it is just the expression of these feelings in their raw state, but eventually it is also connected to insecurity in the face of the instability of things in the world and the impossibility of controlling changes.

Take a deep breath and, as difficult as it may seem, try to make peace with the principle of impermanence of reality, the fact that everything in the world is constantly changing. There is a lot of poetic material in this regard, or reflections offered by great thinkers and professionals who study the human soul: they all have a lot to offer, and may have just the words you are needinglisten.

To dream that someone is carried away by the current

Understanding the meaning of a dream in which someone is carried away by the current depends absolutely on the feelings experienced in the dream. Neutral and positive feelings indicate a desire to get away from this person, perhaps even a beginning of anger towards them, whereas negative feelings point to your insecurity about the relationship between you.

If you dream that someone is carried away by the current, identify what your feelings are towards this person and, as far as possible, move away or approach them according to the will of your heart. On the one hand, there is no reason to insist on relationships that do you harm; on the other hand, it is a waste to see someone important leave without knowing the whole truth about their feelings.

To dream that you swim against the current

When someone swims upstream in dreams, they are usually facing difficulties in personal projects or situations in the sense of not finding support or achieving satisfactory results. However, there is a good possibility that such difficulties are more imaginary than real, mere fruits of their anxiety-fueled imagination.

Try meditation and relaxation exercises, breathe deeply and try to bring all your attention to your body and the present moment. Try to differentiate between real and imaginary threats, and don't hesitate to enlist all the help you have available for this. Trust in yourself, you have all the resources you need at your fingertips.

Does dreaming of a stream mean that something will be taken away from me?

Dreams with a current, in general, refer to things that are taken away against our will, but this process can either be about to happen in the near future or be happening now or have already happened. In many cases, the transformation symbolized by the current is not even real or possible, but only a possibility that is causing apprehension and doubts to your spirit.

First and foremost, take some time out for yourself and empty your head a bit from the daily worries and pressures. Breathe deeply and try to relax, the simple fact of taking a break can ward off the threats and bad feelings caused by the current.

If this is unable to prevent real and unwanted changes, it can at least prepare you to face the situation safely and with your head held high. Remember: you are not responsible for the things that happen to you, only for the way you react to them.
