Tony Crisp Interpretation:
The various environments boats may be in show the condition or feelings surrounding you. For instance, being “at sea”—depending upon calmness or rough seas—shows the dreamer being away from a familiar base or in difficult or uncertain times. Disembarking: leaving a phase of life, such as motherhood, marriage, or a job. Dry dock: necessary changes being made; circumstances not conducive to be actively involved in a project or relationship; delays. Embarking alone: independence or loneliness. Ferry boat: if across a river, end of a relationship; transition from one phase of life to another; the emotional connections in a relationship; death. Journey by night: classic archetype of searching for one’s roots in life; the journey into one’s unconscious experience. Missing a boat: missing opportunity; not grasping significance of events; not “making it” in a relationship. Idioms: burn one’s boats; in the same boat; miss the boat; rock the boat; ships that pass; ship comes in; a tight ship; in a boat without a paddle. See .
