Spiritually, wading suggests a cleansing process, which ties in with baptism. Many meditations also use the symbolism of walking through water. Often the feeling associated with wading can be more relevant than the action of wading itself. To recognize that we are not actually in water for example, we are wading through treacle or another substance which impedes our progress can give us a clue to how we feel about ourselves or our circumstances. Dreaming of wading puts us in the position of recognizing what effect our emotions can have on us. If we are impeded by the water then we need to appreciate how our emotions can prevent us from moving forward. If we are enjoying our wading experience, then we may expect our connection with life to bring contentment. Sometimes the depths to which our bodies are immersed can give us information as to how we cope with external circumstances. For instance, if the water is chest high we should consider how much our knowledge of ourselves is being threatened. Consult the entries for Baptism, Emotions and Water for further clarification.
