Dreaming about swimming

Swimming is read as moving through the waters of fortune and emotion — 周公解梦 sees affairs and feeling navigated; the Jungian lens, actively engaging the unconscious rather than being swept by it. You are in the water of your own fortunes.

Strong, easy swimming marks emotional mastery — affairs handled well, deep feeling met with skill. It reads as being in good command of the very thing that could otherwise carry you off.

Struggling to stay afloat is read as a situation harder than expected — the effort of not being overwhelmed. It points to where you feel you are barely keeping your head above what you are in.

Ibn Sirin read swimming as coping with a great matter or authority — to swim and reach shore a difficulty overcome, to flounder a trial that tests you. The question is how you are faring in the deep thing you are in.

Swimming in vast, deep water is read as being in contact with something far larger than yourself — feeling, or a great affair. It asks whether you are navigating the depth or being taken by it.
