Dream About Swimming Against Current
Detailed Interpretation
You swim against the current—the water pushes one way, you push the other. It's exhausting, difficult, maybe futile. Swimming against current represents fighting the flow, struggling against direction.
Why against? The current goes where you don't want. You have destination that requires opposition to flow. What in life do you resist that seems to pull you?
How's the struggle? Making progress despite current suggests capability against odds. Going nowhere suggests futile effort. Being swept back suggests losing battle.
The exhaustion of fighting current is real. Is this fight worth the effort? Is the destination worth the struggle?
Consider going with current. What would happen if you stopped fighting? Where would the flow take you?

- Making progress against current: Succeeding against resistance; overcoming the flow.

- Exhausted by struggle: Worn out fighting; effort depleting.
