Boat

Boats are quite symbolic showing us our journey across life; therefore, a boat can be seen like any vehicle that enables us to make such a journey. On your life journey you it may be spiritual, education, desire, curiosity, or any other such motivation. However one main symbol that is connected with the boat is the water as it holds it up. The metaphor to links us to the emotional unconscious part of the dreamer. The condition of the boat the location and the description of the water can change up the meaning entirely. If you encounter smooth sailing or waves depending on upcoming events in your life. If you are fishing as opposed to falling off a the boat lets us know how you are maneuvering in your life at the moment. If you are noticing your boat sinking it could imply you will be consumed by your emotions. Crashing the boat brings your attention to a lack of control in your life and you are heading for an emotional difficulty.

To sail in a boat or ship on smooth waters is lucky. On rough waters, it is unlucky. To fall into water indicates great peril.

Symbolic of a vehicle for ministry or the way someone lives their life

Traveling by boat brings forward the idea of 'emotional passages.' Water represents your current feelings and how the water is portrayed will suggest the condition of your emotions. If the water is turbid, there may be past hurts that need to be processed and released. Choppy water can portray emotional difficulty as you move through changes. Often the passage will become calm after a difficult transition, when you are feeling more peaceful. If the boat is in peril, you may feel like your emotions have become overwhelming. Boats, buses and trains, in which you are a 'passenger,' suggest how you are following a course that is not self-directed and not easily changed. Travel over water is indicative of emotions and how the 'flow of events' or 'current' is leading you forward into the future, and often represent uncertainty and a lack of trust.
