Swimming in a river is the brain’s way of working through a powerful influence or a major life course. The dream prepares the mind to navigate a shifting environment where the direction is not set and the surroundings move.
The process of the dream involves a passage through an unsteady realm that requires the dreamer to find a way to maintain direction. Exhaustion can arrive if the movement feels like it is draining the available energy. This tension is the real weight of managing complex circumstances. A certain degree of stability is found in the ability to remain in motion.
Swimming in a clean river suggests that the path currently being traveled is clear and holds an inherent advantage.
The presence of friends while swimming in a river offers fellowship during the passage. This companionship provides a framework of shared experience during the movement through life.
Trouble enters the dream when swimming in a dirty river. The lack of clarity in the stream suggests that the current situation is obscured by complications that make the movement difficult.
The act of taking a bath in a river provides a way to wash away the weight of recent stresses. The flowing water works to lift the mental load that has built up.
A big river changes the scale of the life path. This vastness shows how much of a force the current environment has become.

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.
