Backstroke
To dream of doing the backstroke represents a comfortable attitude to navigating an uncertain or negative situation that doesn't think it's serious enough to warrant their full attention or focus. A high degree of confidence navigating uncertain or negative situations on your own. Ease and grace of handling or managing yourself with uncertainty that doesn't think full attention on the directly problem is necessary. A leisurely approach to overcoming a difficulty that doesn't need to look at it because you are listening well enough to handle yourself. Enjoying taking your time getting through a difficulty.
Negatively, the backstroke may being too comfortable with a problem or uncertain situation you are handling yourself with. A sign that you are too confident about your ability to deal with problems or handle difficulties on your own. A tendency to avoid confronting the problem directly or taking it too lightly. It may also reflect a sense that an uncertain situation is too easy to get through. Taking your time or being lazy when serious action is required. Thinking that nothing matter when it actually does. Handling yourself in uncertain situations or arguments with elderly people or people that are too nice to worry about seeing the situation as a problem.
Example: A young man dreamed of swimming the backstroke. In waking life he had experienced conflict with his grandmother of which he felt was mostly resolved. In this case swimming the backstroke may have reflect his feelings of his grandmother being too easy to deal with in an argument to the point focusing on the method" of how to argue rather than the content of the argument itself.
