It is not unusual when we are uncertain or doubtful for some reason to dream about walking along a dried-up river bed, or seeing a spring or well which has dried up, just as we are about to drop dead from thirst. Because it is not a particularly pleasant dream, we wake up, and just as we do so, we hear a distant murmur of water which could save us from the situation. Our subconscious is sounding a brighter, more optimistic note, but we have not given it time to express itself fully.

          Moving water, be it in the sea or in a river, symbolizes particular aspects of your personality. The strength of the soul is represented by running water : the river scours its bed and creates a constant process of renewal, just as our own minds are constantly being refreshed and renewed, and the sea reminds us that there are distant shores signifying rebirth.

           Dreaming about walking towards the sea to bathe has a very clear meaning : it shows a desire to live in the subconscious. Instead of being positive about our lives and making things happen, we want to be freed from responsibility for ourselves and other people.
