Dr. Michael Lennox Interpretation

Universal Landscape: Your emotional journey.

Dreaming Lens: Were you on a boat? Were you seeing a boat, but not on board? What type of boat was it? Was it moving or docked? Was the boat out of water for building or service? Were you seasick or comfortable?

Personal Focus: Any vehicle in a dream refers to our paths in life. A boat travels over water, the universal symbol for anything that deals with the emotions. The size and type of boat in your dream will illuminate your current ability to navigate emotional issues based on resources and levels of skill. The water itself connects with the nature of the emotional territory in which you currently find yourself. The destination of your trip will offer insight into what may be causing an upsurge of emotion and what you hope the outcome will be if you are successful in arriving at your intended destination.

A slow-moving cruise ship denotes the slow, steady pace of emotional unfolding. However, it travels over the deep waters of the ocean, connecting to a need to exert enormous control over what might be underlying fears about the depths of your emotional unconscious. A speedboat indicates faster processing of emotional turmoil as well as a desire to get through an emotional encounter as quickly as possible. A sailboat connects to the merging of emotion and intellect. The boat itself rides on the water of the emotions, while the sail catches the wind of the intellect and uses that as the power that propels one forward. A canoe might hearken back to more primitive emotions. A rowboat indicates that the emotional issues you are facing require direct effort to get through.

The state the boat is in has great meaning with regard to your effectiveness and the safety of your journey. One that is in disrepair or in danger of sinking indicates overwhelm in your current situation. A boat that is docked represents emotional journeys that are yet to be taken. Consider how protected you feel by the boat. Feelings of danger may indicate resistance about diving into the depths of your unconscious feelings.

Patrica Telesco Interpretation

(see Anchor, Water)

Potential and opportunity-.

The proximity of the ship indicates either how aware you are of the possibilities, or how long it will be before they manifest.

Your health. Like other vehicles (see by type), the condition of the boat may inform you about your physical status.

For example, the lack of wind could equate to lung problems like asthma.

Adventure, and the yearning for same. In Arabia, the Corsairs were people who lived and died by the sea, and reveled in the freedom and challenges the open water offered.

Transitions and movement. This could indicate concern over a forthcoming change in residence or status.

Stagnant or anchored: W brry that your life isn’t moving the way you feel it should.

The feeling that everything is at a standstill.

Sailing without you: Either missed opportunity, or a type of desertion dream.

Life’s voyage and new horizons. Like Columbus locating America, you are embarking on a voyage of self-discovery.

Taking a journey by boat may equate to literal or figurative death, as ferries and boats figure heavily into myths of how the spirit goes from one existence to the next.

Silvana Amar Interpretation

As mentioned in all relevant dream symbols, bodies of water represent your unconscious, your emotions and your accumulated soul experiences. Depending on the content of the dream, several different interpretations could be made.

The boat in your dream could represent you and the manner you navigate through your emotions. It could symbolize the voyage of your life, an adventure and exploration of your unconscious, or a connection to the people in your dream by pointing out something that all of you have in common (in the same boat). When interpreting this dream, consider the kind of voyage and the type of boat. Superstition-based dream interpretation books say that if the voyage is calm, you should go forward with your plans. However, if it is a very stormy voyage, get ready for an emotional upset (or challenge). ...But O the ship, the immortal ship! O ship aboard the ship! Ship of the body, ship of the soul, voyaging, voyaging, voyaging.  -- Walt Whitman

Garuda Interpretation

Symbol: The boat is a symbol of your personality, pan of what you need in order to move forward in the ocean of life!

Vision: Seeing a boat means a trip or a change in life.

If the water is clear, things are destined to go well. Murky water means misfortune or a mishap on a trip or in your life. Getting hit by a storm while riding in a boat—or falling out of a boat: postpone a planned trip or action.

Depth Psychology: Seeing a boat in a dream is a sign that your life is about to change. Since a boat usually is in the water, the dream mean that you feel you’re on “shaky ground.” A boat, like the Auto, Train, or Airplane might be a symbol of your life’s journey.

See Water.

Martha Clarke Interpretation

In ancient times, boats were worshiped in Mesopotamia, Crete, and Egypt, as they were associated with certain deities. In oneiric terms, boats symbolize the ability to communicate with people who, by the way they think, feel, or live, are far from you. So, dreaming that you take a boat trip heralds the beginning of a new phase of your life or a new relationship. By contrast, a sinking ship warns against a breakup. Boats can also represent a journey through your emotions. Depending on the condition and status of the water, the meaning changes.

If it is agitated it means that you feel tense about your feelings.

If it is calm you are working calmly. And in the case you lose the boat you may have lost an exceptional opportunity. (See WATER, SHIP, and SHIPWRECK)

In mythology it is said that boats are the means to go from one world to another. Given its symbolism, this dream shows the passage between personal stages. You may be conducting a decisive change in your life.

Michael and Elizabeth Thiessen Interpretation

The boat is a dream symbol for your life and/or business, and the dreamer must pull together all the aspects of this dream to approximate the meaning, such as: the water, whether it is clear, murky, inland lakes, or oceans, was the boat moving, etc., so look up all the dream symbols you can remember and you should be able to glean the sense of your dream. Don’t forget to consider idioms; don’t rock the boat, we are all in the same boat, and so on.

Nancy Wagaman Interpretation

The means by which you move forward in your life, or the course or direction you take in your life (or in some aspect of it).

Traveling on a boat can represent: change; progress toward a goal; “skimming along the surface” of life but not participating fully; feeling protected from possible threats (as a boat protects you from threats below).

Betty Bethards Interpretation

Your emotional self.

If at the helm you are in control; if your boat is drifting, you are not in charge of your emotional life.

If sinking you are allowing your emotions to pull you under, so take a good look at what is pulling you down in day to day living. Through self-examination, making positive choices, you can change negative emotional trips.

Dream Explanations - Anonymous Interpretation

Dreams of a boat symbolize that you are floating just above the depths of your unconsciousness and the mysterious ocean of your sacred feminine nature.

A boat can also symbolize your ability to flow with the currents of life or can reflect how you handle commitments in relationships. Consider the feeling tone.

See Wave and Ocean.

Gustavus Hindman Miller Interpretation

Boat signals forecast bright prospects, if upon clear water.

If the water is unsettled and turbulent, cares and unhappy changes threaten the dreamer.

Stearn Robinson - Tom Corbett Interpretation

voyage of life, with a broader view of the individual's life than land travel; a boat is the vehicle that takes the dreamer over the depths of the unconscious. Speed boat— skimming over the surface of the unconscious; missing a boat— failure to grasp the deeper implications of events; disembarking— the end of an experience, returning home; drifting helplessly —drifting through life without a purpose.

Georg Fink Interpretation

A boat in a dream is a sign that you will safely reach the shore, where a life of happiness is awaiting you. A boat moving peacefully across the water suggests that you can expect quiet progress in your life. A boat struggling in rough waters indicates a hectic journey and instability in real life. A boat drifting in the dark implies that at the moment you are clueless as to how to proceed. (See also “Ship,” “Traveling,” and “Water.”)

Ian Wallace Interpretation

Ability to navigate complex and unpredictable feelings by using my instincts and experience to maintain my emotional stability

Cathleen Connor Interpretation

Like cars, boats in dreams can come in all sizes, shapes, and degrees of power. If you are rowing or sailing your own boat, you feel in control of a situation or transition. If you are a passenger on a ferry or other boat, you don't feel you can control what happens. Boats traverse water and water in dreams relates to your emotional life. Anytime you dream you are on a boat you are trying to move through an emotional situation, either in your current life or from the past. If the boat is trying to break through ice, your feelings around the issues are old, frozen, and hard to access. If the boat is navigating through rough seas, you are experiencing emotional ups and downs in your life. If you are in a small boat and cannot get to shore, you feel out of control regarding an emotional issue in your daily life.

Mary Summer Interpretation

Strong, Gerard Interpretation

A boat on land means significant financial losses.

Julie Gillentine Interpretation

A boat, or “barque” to the Egyptians, symbolized the soul moving through eternity. What does the boat look like? Are you steering or rowing the boat? Is someone ferrying you across a body of water? What is the body of water like? What are your feelings?

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.
