Surfing / Riding The Waves Dream Meaning

Being carried away by emotions (Water), being transported by and giving in to the existing Rhythm.

See also: Sailboat. Here the power of the Winds, as well as the intellect, is used for moving forward. This is also often an expression of fear about going under, in the sense that the Head would be submerged under Water (similar to fear of emotional chaos, as in Swamp). This is also a sexual and virility symbol (“Surfers do it standing up”).
