Dreaming of a Canoe
canoe, dugout, kayak, paddle · mostly positive, depending on the water
A canoe is about steering and love: on calm water it promises success and fidelity; on rough or muddy water, trouble.
What happens in the dream
- Paddling a canoe on a calm stream: complete confidence in your ability to run your affairs profitably
- Paddling with your sweetheart: an early marriage and faithfulness
- Paddling on rough water: you will have to win over a difficult temper before you find happiness together
- Shallow, swift water: a hasty romance or stolen pleasures with no lasting good
- Shallow, clear, calm water: pleasant happiness, but short-lived
- Muddy water: disappointment in business
How you felt
- A sense of control: the dream often mirrors how you are steering your own course
- A need for harmony: it may reflect a wish to move in step with someone
Ask yourself
- Am I steering my course with confidence right now?
- Whom do I want paddling in the same direction as me?
