What It Means to Dream About the Sea
Dreaming of the sea is read as a dream that represents the breadth of your heart, the depth of your emotions, and the scale of your possibilities.
The Basic Meaning
In dream interpretation, the sea is a symbol of the unconscious and of possibility. The wide, deep sea is read as representing feelings you have not noticed yourself, and possibilities that have not yet been opened. A calm sea represents stability of the heart, and a rough sea represents the size of your emotional waves. Because the sea is also the source of life, it is a dream that also appears in a season when a desire to create something new, or an awareness of motherhood and embracing warmth, is heightened.
What It Means in Different Situations
Seeing a Calm Sea
This represents a state in which your heart is settled. It is also a season when relationships are likely to proceed gently.
Swimming in the Sea
This represents a feeling of moving forward by your own strength. If you can entrust your body to the water, it is a sign that you are adapting well to your environment.
A Rough Sea
This represents a season when your emotions and plans are unsettled. Rather than forcing your way forward, the judgment to wait until the waves settle is also important.
Seeing the Bottom of the Sea
This is a state in which you are turning your eyes toward your true feelings and the wishes that lie deep within. It is a season well suited to quiet reflection.
The Sea in the Morning or at Sunset
This represents a season of beginnings or of turning points. It is a sign that you are likely to shift your feelings well.
Your State of Mind When You Have This Dream
This is a dream you are likely to have in a season when you want to step away from the busyness of everyday life and put your own feelings in order. It can also bring out a wish not to rush for an answer, but to entrust yourself to a larger flow.
How It Differs from Similar Dreams
Whereas a river dream represents "the flow of time and the changes of everyday life," a sea dream represents "the depth of emotions and the breadth of possibilities." Among dreams about water in general, the sea is a dream that deals with themes on a large scale.
The Flow of Your Luck, and Some Advice
Your luck is in a flow like a great swell. It is a season that suits a posture of not rejoicing or worrying over small things, but looking at things over the long term. Time spent by the water, and a habit of steadying your feelings with deep breaths, will calm the waves of your heart.
