Dreaming of going down a steep riverbank - dream meaning with inherited lore

You make your way down along a high, steep riverbank. The ground may crumble beneath your feet, or you may get close to the water, creating a sense of tension.

Korean lore: There isn’t a widely established traditional interpretation of going up or down a riverbank. If you see a river as a flow of change, heading downward may gently suggest moving closer to a situation you’re facing now. (This reading draws on folk interpretations that compare a river to life’s flow, while recognizing that the specific image of going down a riverbank has limited traditional meaning.)

Through the mind: You may have this dream when you feel you can no longer put off a conversation or decision you’d rather avoid. You might recall where you placed your feet and how you felt near the water.
