Walking on water

Walk on water, Standing on water, Walking on the sea

Stepping onto water and finding it holds you is a dream of the impossible made easy. It often arrives while you're doing something you weren't sure you could, like handling a crisis, starting over or keeping your head while others panic. Walking across the surface may mean you're standing steady above emotions that might otherwise pull you under. For many people it also recalls the Gospel story of Jesus walking on the Sea of Galilee, and of Peter, who began to sink only when fear took over. At its core this dream is about faith, in yourself or in something greater.
