River delta
The place where a river breaks into many channels before reaching the sea — the spreading-out of a long flow into its end.
A river delta in a dream is the dream's image of the spreading-out of a long flow into its end. The river that was one channel splits into many before meeting the sea; what was directed becomes diffuse. The dream brings the delta when something in your life — a career, a relationship, a long project — is at the phase of breaking out of its single channel into many smaller outcomes. A delta with healthy channels is the dream affirming the spreading-out. A delta in which the channels are silting up, with the river barely reaching the sea, is the dream noting that the long flow has lost the strength to finish, and what should have been arrival has become exhaustion in the mud.
