Dreaming Lens: Were you on a boat? Were you seeing a boat, but not on board? What type of boat was it? Was it moving or docked? Was the boat out of water for building or service? Were you seasick or comfortable?

Personal Focus: Any vehicle in a dream refers to our paths in life. A boat travels over water, the universal symbol for anything that deals with the emotions. The size and type of boat in your dream will illuminate your current ability to navigate emotional issues based on resources and levels of skill. The water itself connects with the nature of the emotional territory in which you currently find yourself. The destination of your trip will offer insight into what may be causing an upsurge of emotion and what you hope the outcome will be if you are successful in arriving at your intended destination.

A slow-moving cruise ship denotes the slow, steady pace of emotional unfolding. However, it travels over the deep waters of the ocean, connecting to a need to exert enormous control over what might be underlying fears about the depths of your emotional unconscious. A speedboat indicates faster processing of emotional turmoil as well as a desire to get through an emotional encounter as quickly as possible. A sailboat connects to the merging of emotion and intellect. The boat itself rides on the water of the emotions, while the sail catches the wind of the intellect and uses that as the power that propels one forward. A canoe might hearken back to more primitive emotions. A rowboat indicates that the emotional issues you are facing require direct effort to get through.

The state the boat is in has great meaning with regard to your effectiveness and the safety of your journey. One that is in disrepair or in danger of sinking indicates overwhelm in your current situation. A boat that is docked represents emotional journeys that are yet to be taken. Consider how protected you feel by the boat. Feelings of danger may indicate resistance about diving into the depths of your unconscious feelings.

Potential and opportunity-.

The proximity of the ship indicates either how aware you are of the possibilities, or how long it will be before they manifest.

Your health. Like other vehicles (see by type), the condition of the boat may inform you about your physical status.

For example, the lack of wind could equate to lung problems like asthma.

Adventure, and the yearning for same. In Arabia, the Corsairs were people who lived and died by the sea, and reveled in the freedom and challenges the open water offered.

Transitions and movement. This could indicate concern over a forthcoming change in residence or status.

Stagnant or anchored: W brry that your life isn’t moving the way you feel it should.

The feeling that everything is at a standstill.

Sailing without you: Either missed opportunity, or a type of desertion dream.

Life’s voyage and new horizons. Like Columbus locating America, you are embarking on a voyage of self-discovery.

Taking a journey by boat may equate to literal or figurative death, as ferries and boats figure heavily into myths of how the spirit goes from one existence to the next.

The boat in your dream could represent you and the manner you navigate through your emotions. It could symbolize the voyage of your life, an adventure and exploration of your unconscious, or a connection to the people in your dream by pointing out something that all of you have in common (in the same boat). When interpreting this dream, consider the kind of voyage and the type of boat. Superstition-based dream interpretation books say that if the voyage is calm, you should go forward with your plans. However, if it is a very stormy voyage, get ready for an emotional upset (or challenge). ...But O the ship, the immortal ship! O ship aboard the ship! Ship of the body, ship of the soul, voyaging, voyaging, voyaging.  -- Walt Whitman

If it is agitated it means that you feel tense about your feelings.

If it is calm you are working calmly. And in the case you lose the boat you may have lost an exceptional opportunity. (See WATER, SHIP, and SHIPWRECK)

In mythology it is said that boats are the means to go from one world to another. Given its symbolism, this dream shows the passage between personal stages. You may be conducting a decisive change in your life.

Vision: Seeing a boat means a trip or a change in life.

If the water is clear, things are destined to go well. Murky water means misfortune or a mishap on a trip or in your life. Getting hit by a storm while riding in a boat—or falling out of a boat: postpone a planned trip or action.

See Ship.

Depth Psychology: Seeing a boat in a dream is a sign that your life is about to change. Since a boat usually is in the water, the dream mean that you feel you’re on “shaky ground.” A boat, like the Auto, Train, or Airplane might be a symbol of your life’s journey.

The condition of the “transport device” will show you what your actual situation is. In Greek mythology, the boat is a symbol of the journey “to the other side,” to the “dominion of the dead”—or a symbol of your journey into a new phase of life.

See Water.

To sail on an unknown boat or to pilot a boat or to give orders to sailors who are operating it in a dream means marriage to a woman from a country to which the boat belongs, or it could mean doing business in that land.

To ride on a ferryboat in a dream means receiving God’s benevolence and kindness in crossing over danger.

A boat in a dream also represents one’s relatives. Thus, whatever atmospheric conditions the skies exhibits during the crossing or during a journey by boat, they will manifest in one’s family. In a dream, a fireboat means dispelling anxieties, overcoming distress and adversities.

A boat travels over water, the universal symbol for anything that deals with the emotions.

The size and type of boat in your dream will illuminate your current ability to navigate emotional issues based on resources and levels of skill.

The destination of your trip will offer insight into what may be causing an upsurge of emotion and what you hope the outcome will be if you are successful in arriving at your intended destination.

Traveling on a boat can represent: change, progress toward a goal, “skimming along the surface” of life but not participating fully, feeling protected from possible threats (as a boat protects you from threats below).

See Vehicle, Traveling, Driving, Dock, Oar, Propeller

If at the helm you are in control; if your boat is drifting, you are not in charge of your emotional life.

If sinking you are allowing your emotions to pull you under, so take a good look at what is pulling you down in day to day living. Through self-examination, making positive choices, you can change negative emotional trips.

A boat can also symbolize your ability to flow with the currents of life or can reflect how you handle commitments in relationships. Consider the feeling tone.

See Wave and Ocean.

If the water is unsettled and turbulent, cares and unhappy changes threaten the dreamer.

If with a gay party you board a boat without an accident, many favors will be showered upon you. Unlucky the dreamer who falls overboard while sailing upon stormy waters.

To fall into water indicates great peril.
