The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
Dreaming that you are rowing in turbulent waters is a symbol of emotional confusion. You are consuming your strengths with a passion that does not correspond that may be destructive. If, on the contrary, you row in calm water, the dream is associated—like all with calm water—with an inner state of well-being, confidence, and security.
