Dream of Crossing a River in Hell - dream meaning with inherited lore

You stand before a dark, deep river in hell and cross the water. You’re tense, afraid the current will sweep you away, but once your feet touch the other side, you let out a deep breath.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of crossing a large body of water have sometimes been interpreted as passing through change or hardship. If you crossed safely, it may reflect a wish to get past a difficult point in your heart. (In folk dream interpretations, rivers and water have often represented the flow of emotions or the boundaries of life, while crossing them can symbolize change.)

Through the mind: You may have this dream when you’re moving from a familiar life into its next stage, through a job change, a move, or marriage. You may feel anxious because you’re not fully prepared yet, while the dream may also reflect that part of you has already begun to move forward.
