Lake in a dream
By tradition, a lake in a dream is read as inner peace and a silence in which you hear your own thoughts more clearly.
Old dream books read the lake as the still water of the soul: it does not flow or hurry, it keeps whatever is mirrored in it. A smooth surface is read as serenity and settled thoughts, and ripples as small excitements. A mountain lake is believed to speak of a wish for quiet, and a lake with swans of tenderness. If the water was dark, people only say that it is deep, like your own reflections. The dream is an invitation to rest.
The most common dreams
Dreaming of a calm lake
In folk belief, you are entering quiet days in which you can put your thoughts in order. The dream is read as a serenity you have earned for yourself.
Dreaming of swimming in a lake
You find your way well in your own feelings, as the old folks read this dream. They say you know what suits you and are not ashamed of it.
Dreaming of a boat on a lake
Folk belief says calm time for two, or with an old friend, may be waiting. Row slowly, the dream says, there is no rush to get anywhere.
Dreaming of a frozen lake
Old dream books say some matter is resting for the time being. It has not vanished, it is only waiting for warmer days to move again.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
