Dreaming of the Ocean

ocean, deep sea · mixed, depending on the sea

A calm ocean is a good sign; a raging one signals setbacks and storms at home.

What happens in the dream

  • You see or sail a calm ocean: a good sign, with a pleasant voyage, profitable business and happy love
  • You are on shore watching waves crash together: a narrow escape from harm
  • The ocean is so shallow you can wade or see the bottom: prosperity mixed with hardship
  • You are on the ocean with someone: a person close to you is not sincere
  • You swim, walk on or fish in the ocean: a bad sign
  • You are about to travel: the ocean is a good sign, unless it is very rough
  • You are far out and hear waves lashing the ship: business setbacks and stormy times at home

How you felt

  • Vast emotion: the dream often reflects the scale of what you feel
  • A need for open horizons: it may show a longing for freedom and space

Ask yourself

  • Are my emotions calm or stormy right now?
  • Which horizon do I want to explore?
