Interpretation 2 — Martha Clarke

This is an emblem of dynamism. To dream of a boat or airplane propeller indicates that you are optimistic, enthusiastic, and impulsive. The faster it turns, the faster you will advance in life. Obviously, this period will not last forever, so you must take advantage of this shot of vitality.
