It is not necessary to go to the country to swim every day to have a I dream of a river. Its flow sails from the top of the mountains to the sea where the fresh water flows to mix with the salty. If you have seen a movie where nature abounds or a photo, the subconscious could send you images while you sleep. In this article you will know what does it mean to dream of a river in detail.
But the most important to discover the exact meaning it is extrapolating the dream together with your personal situation and context (your reactions, the landscape ...). That is, a dirty and cloudy river is not interpreted the same as a crystalline and clear one. Is it plentiful or without water? Are there fish? Does blood or other fluid flow? Let's see step by step what rivers can symbolize.
What is the meaning of dreaming of a river?
The general dream interpretation is as follows: a river represents life In herself. From the beginning to the end, the water flows through the stream, encountering all kinds of obstacles: rocks, plants, curves ... and feeding its fish. The same in life, from birth to death you find yourself with many obstacles that put you in difficulties as a human being.
Dream fish in the river

This will make the water blue and clear again. You may have been unfaithful or feel guilty about a minor argument.
Dream of a river that overflows
There are many catastrophes that nature can overturn on us: a earthquake, a tsunami, a tornado, etc. The overflow of a river like the Ebro, which grows and causes much damage to the surrounding families, is interpreted as a fear of losing everything what you have built in recent years: fear of losing your home, going bankrupt at the company or breaking a relationship with children. It also represents the fear of dying. Explain your concerns to someone close to you to solve the problems and avoid having more nightmares.
Dream of a crystal clear and calm river
Does the river run crystal clear? With peace of mind? When you dream that a crystalline river is calm, its flow does not dry up or overflow, it means that your mood is similar. You feel peace inside, you come home calm and you sleep peacefully at night.
