Dreaming of the Sea
sea, seaside · mixed
The sea speaks of deep longings never quite fulfilled; calm, it promises a peaceful life, stormy, hardship.
What happens in the dream
- You hear the lonely sighing of the sea: a weary life without love or companionship
- You dream of the sea: unmet hopes, an inner hunger despite material comforts
- You glide over the sea with your partner: your hopes in love will come true
- You go to sea: luck with money
- You sail on a calm sea: a peaceful life
- You're seasick: lasting good health
- You walk on the sea: good for a journey, a marriage or a lawsuit
- A storm overtakes you: trouble and hardship, though you can come through
How you felt
- Longing: the dream often reflects a lack that's hard to name
- Vastness: it may echo a sense of facing something larger than yourself
Ask yourself
- What am I really missing?
- Does my life feel calm or stormy right now?
