Billy Joel - The River of Dreams Meaning

Song Released: 1993
The River of Dreams Lyrics
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
And even though I know the river...

#3 top rated interpretation:I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind

The message of the song is that reaching one's dream is a long process. There might be challenges to face but all we need to do is to continue what we dream for
-
I think it is all about the struggles that wile need to fight, always remember that we haved God in our life.

Here's my interpretation: Every night... I have dreams... Of me being famous... And other things... I'm soul-searching... For something... But it's hard to understand them... I always try to though... Every night... I have dreams... Of scary things... And other things... I'm soul-searching... For something... That I lost... because of a scarring event... I don't want to have these dreams anymore... I might have them for the rest of my life... Every night... I have dreams... When I dont trust myself... And other things... I'm soul-searching... For something that can't be touched... That can't be seen with eyes... I never beleaved in God... But I hope I go to heaven... Every night... I have dreams... About the truth... And other things... The world is a dream... We start at the begining... Our dreams keep us going...
Another thing. Right before the end, during the chorus, I can hear someone yelling, but I can't hear what she's saying.
