Dreaming of walking upstream - dream meaning with inherited lore
Moving against the current can reflect the effort you’re making when things around you aren’t going as you hoped.
You step against the flow of the water. The current slows your steps, or you push forward, holding your ground one step at a time.
Korean lore: Traditionally, struggling against a current can be read as having to work hard because things aren’t going smoothly. How difficult it feels may depend on whether you eventually made headway or got swept back. (This draws on a folk tradition of reading the flow of water as a metaphor for how work or life is going.)
Through the mind: You may feel out of step with others at work, in your studies, or in a relationship, or feel that you’re struggling alone. You might consider whether walking all the way through the dream or stopping along the way resembles how you’ve been holding on lately.
