If you dream of being alone on a rough, murky lake, turbulent times are likely ahead — you may look back on past indulgences with regret and wish you had heeded wiser counsel. If water begins seeping into your boat yet you manage to reach shore through sheer effort, you will face pressure to make poor choices but ultimately resist and rise to a position of respect and accomplishment. This image can also foreshadow illness in someone close to you. If you observe another person navigating the same struggle and reaching safety, a friend who has made a misstep will manage to repair their standing with you. Sailing a clear, calm lake with good company signals abundant happiness and financial ease. A muddy lake with barren, jagged surroundings warns of unhappy endings in both work and love. A muddy lake edged with lush trees suggests your moral compass will outweigh temptation and redirect your energy somewhere worthwhile. A clear lake in a barren landscape points to a prosperous life threatened by unchecked desire. Seeing your own reflection in a still, clear lake is a welcome sign — joy and warm friendships are drawing near. Trees reflected in the water suggest a full and passionate experience of love and deep connection. If dark or threatening creatures rise from the depths and move toward you, you are being warned that time and energy spent on harmful pleasures will bring failure and declining health — a steep price for fleeting gratification.
