Drowning in a river is a dream that surfaces when the mind is processing the overwhelming momentum of a life path or the influence of a powerful force. The brain uses this image to work through the feeling of being pulled under by events that move faster than any effort to stop them.
The dreamer faces a time when the course of life feels too strong to steer. Such a process often occurs when a person is attempting to reconcile their own will with a current that moves toward a destination they did not choose. There is a weight to this experience, as the dreamer faces the reality of being overtaken by a force that cannot be reasoned with or halted. This dream leaves room for the recognition that some currents are simply larger than the individual.
Being swept away in a river indicates a dream where the dreamer experiences a direct surrender to a momentum that has moved beyond their ability to resist.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
