Imam Ibn Sirin

Dreams and Interpretations (Ibn Sireen, Hathurani tr.) · p. 33

Crossing a river or stream suggests relief from grief, sorrow and fear. But if such a river or stream contains mud, filth or continues to swell, it suggests the observer of the dream will break off his relationship with his neighbour, son or an intimate friend and establish new relations with someone else. In spite of this he will keep contact with the one with whom his relationship is severed.
