Swapna: Dream MeaningsDreams about water and nature
Rivers, rain, the sea, fire, the moon and the sun
Water, fire and the sky have a long place in the Indian imagination, and dreams of nature are given many readings. The common idea is that clear and calm images are good signs and violent or dark ones are a sign of worry.
