Dreaming of swimming toward someone - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may hold a wish to share your feelings or grow close to someone again.
You see someone across the water and swim toward them. You may reach them safely, or struggle as the distance barely seems to close.
Korean lore: Traditionally, crossing water to reach someone has sometimes been read as a wish for connection or a meeting. Rather than taking it as a definite prediction of an actual meeting, you can also consider how you felt about that person in the dream. (In folk dream interpretations, crossing water to meet someone is sometimes compared to the course of a relationship or a bond between people.)
Through the mind: You may have something left to say to that person, or a wish to ask them for help. Remembering how you felt when you arrived and how they responded can help you notice what kind of distance you want in the relationship.
