Starting with the most morbid of situations, some may dream of a dead body floating in their dream according to Aunty Flo. This experience can be "associated with difficult times ahead" according to the site, as can uncontrollable floating which may suggest that you "need to slow down in waking life."
If the waves are turbulent, Exemplore suggests that "you may be struggling with an issue" at hand or there may be "trying times ahead." And if someone you love is floating away from you, your connection with said person "may be weakening."
However, on the more positive side, if you see yourself floating in a relaxing place like a swimming pool, this is a good sign according to Aunty Flo. This can mean "times are good," and show that you have "a great desire for independence." It can also be a sign to realize "that you need to understand what ties you down in life."
Dreams of floating in general can also be a precursor that you will "viciously overcome some difficult obstacles which are seemingly overwhelming you in life," whether good or bad.
