Dream Interpretation - The River of Life

A client recently sent me a dream for interpretation and has graciously allowed me to share it today. (*I have tweaked a bit of the story however the general details have not been changed)

"I had a dream last night where I was floating down the river. The river was flowing very quickly and strongly and the landscape on the riverbanks was going by quickly.  I felt quite stationary in the river and so the only way that I knew the river was flowing strongly was by looking around and noticing that the landscape was changing rapidly.  I was also noticing that there were other people in the river with me, some I floated by quickly, some slowly, some were travelling at a similar pace and others went by me quite quickly.
As I continued to travel along I had some 'near misses' with bumping into logs or boats and once I even narrowly missed pinning myself up against the foundation for legs of an enormous bridge however, I managed to flow away from it. As time passed, I found that I could have an easier time of it if I relaxed and floated not straight up and down but eased back a little on my back. I started to move with the flow of the river and instead of spinning around and around in the water trying to see forward and back and judging just how fast I was moving, in general and then in comparison with others, I was just going along.
 I also found that if I reached my hand down into the water below me I was able to pick up things along the way that I needed on my journey. I didn't want to dig down too far because sometimes while what I found eventually was even more useful than the surface stuff, I often had to reach through layers of 'goo and slime' to get these items.  Once I found out this was the pattern however I became quite used to 'digging deep' to get to where I wanted or needed to get to. I also found it easier as time passed to continue to relax and float along while I trusted my Self that when I needed to, I would automatically reach down and get what I needed to get to help me along. Previously I would have scheduled times and patterns for this.
When I woke, I was still travelling along the river."

Dream Interpretation

The river is a dream symbol (and life symbol) for the flow of life. Currently, life is moving quickly. Even though sometimes we feel like things aren't moving at all - the stage is continually being changed (added and deleted) for us by our Angels and guides. Go with the flow! Do not concern your Self with who is moving at what pace or necessarily what pace you are moving....relax and enjoy the show!

From time to time you will need to have certain items, thoughts, actions, circumstances available to you that will enhance your life journey. If you reach around (figuratively or literally) those things are provided for you. Sometimes you will need to reach a little further for these items, sometimes you will need to reach through some layers of 'goo and slime' however IF YOU KEEP SEARCHING AND BELIEVE THAT ANYTHING YOU NEED WILL BE PROVIDED FOR YOU, you will surface with exactly what it is that you need.  Trust your Self and trust your Angels that when you need to reach forward you will be guided to do so and until then....gently flow along and enjoy the view!
