| Dream Interpretation | 1: To paddle a canoe on a calm stream, denotes your perfect confidence in your own ability to conduct your business in a profitable way. 2: To row with a sweetheart, means an early marriage and fidelity. To row on rough waters you will have to tame a shrew before you attain connubial bliss. Affairs in the business world will prove disappointing after you dream of rowing in muddy waters. If the waters are shallow and swift, a hasty courtship or stolen pleasures, from which there can be no lasting good, are indicated. 3: Shallow, clear and calm waters in rowing, signifies happiness of a pleasing character, but of short duration. 4: Water is typical of futurity in the dream realms. If a pleasant immediate future awaits the dreamer he will come in close proximity with clear water. Or if he emerges from disturbed watery elements into waking life the near future is filled with crosses for him. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... | ||
