Dreams About Boats

When dreaming, various modes of transport can feature as a symbol—planes, trains, buses, vans, cars, bikes. Generally a vehicle will represent your journey and progress in life. The size and shape of the vehicle may indicate your capacity or function.

You may dream of a car overheating which may imply you are stressed and burned out. It could be a passenger plane taking off which may refer to a project or business enterprise about to be launched. Perhaps you’re in a boat heading towards a large wave, saying, “I’ve got to get over this, I have to get over this.” Such a dream may indicate the need to move on from your past. The wave may represent a sizeable problem you are confronted with, a disappointment, a broken relationship or business deal gone wrong—all scenarios that you might wish to ‘get over’.

To dream of a boat may represent your calling and capacity. A large boat may be indicative of a large ministry, business or project. The condition of the water may reflect your emotional response to the circumstances taking place in your life.

Missed The Boat

A dream where you miss the boat may indicate a lost opportunity or anxiety about being too slow to act, or taking too much time to arrive at an answer.

Sinking Boat

You may be overwhelmed with problems in your day-to-day life. That ‘sinking feeling’ might be the awkward moment when you realise something unpleasant has happened or is about to happen.

Rocking Boat

Such a dream could be a pun for ‘don’t rock the boat’. This could suggest we need to avoid ‘making waves’, saying or doing something, which may upset or cause problems. A rocking boat can also imply a sense of emotional and mental instability.

Life Application

Life is a journey and not a destination. It comes with the gifts and talents uniquely tailored for your personality and path of life. Your journey/road will have its ups and downs, heartaches and celebrations. The path will not always be smooth but throughout your life you will encounter opportunities as well as challenges.

Like a seed, you have the privilege of cultivating, watering and nurturing your potential.

Spanish composer-cellist, Pablo Casals, understood the need to keep growing. He was in his final years when a young reporter asked him, “Mr. Casals, you are 95 years old and the greatest cellist that ever lived. Why do you still practice six hours a day?” Casals’ answer: “Because I think I’m making progress.”

As stated above, life is a journey and not a destination, so keep growing, keep learning, keep practising, keep giving. Do this and you will live a satisfied and fulfilled life.

“Stop watering things that were never meant to grow in your life.

Stop wasting water on dead issues, dead relationships, dead people, a dead past.

No matter how much you water concrete, you can’t grow a garden”
