The Dream Thread

[Horuseus]

I have one recurring dream, that I need to share. It's about a big boat, like one of those cruising ships, that always sails from point A to point B, and then turns back to point A, like cruising ships do.

This boat is huge and contains everything like bars, restaurants, luxury cabins and very simple cabins, and even one water amusement park (which is huge too). I just recently realized that this "boat" is me, my mind/body/spirit complex, and in those dreams where I am inside that boat having my "adventures" there, are clues of what is going on inside of me. So I need to pay more attention to these dreams now!

Anyways, I had this dream now again, and this time it was not so much of what was inside but the trip itself. The boat sailed from point A, my home, to point B, where it turned in order to go back again. But when it had to turn, it by some reasons which I don't remember now, appeared to be on top of one big but narrow waterslide in the harbor, and then it had to slide down from that hill in a very high speed while it was turning. While this was happening, I was scared and thought that we are not going to make it, and that those who are in charge of that boat are crazy for doing this maneuver. I thought that we are going to crash or that boat is going to tip and sink. But it made it! And when that happened I became conscious in that dream remembering that this is not the first time I am dreaming this, and that the boat always makes it.

I believe that there is some big significance to this dream, as it might give me clues to what is happening to me now in regards to my severe dizzyness and anxiety attacks related to this dizzyness.

The sea is the collective mind of our people. The boat is me sailing through this collective consciousness. Point A is perhaps the state of beingness with which I was born which is connectedness with everyone and everything around me. But then due to traumatic events, I lost this connection, but that this was planned pre-incarnatively perhaps, so we arrived to point B. But now have to go back "home" to that state of beingness with which I was born. Any other ideas of interpretation of this event?

What I also don't understand is this high and narrow waterslide, and why the boat needs to slide down from it in that crazy speed? It doesn't tip, but I am still very scared of this maneuver, and wonder, why not turning the boat in a "safer" way.

Any ideas?

I saw that dream somewhat differently Ankh. I'll provide my personal take on it, though as always use your own discernment. Often I find ones intuition and 'gut feeling' about the dream to be most accurate.

The Boat represents your 3D life, with all it's entertainments and distractions, symbolised by the various attractions seen. You are navigating through life from 'Home', which could symbolise some prior native density that you chose to move away from temporarily. The Ocean symbolises emotions, though I consider it to be more the 'Mental ocean', and so the turmoil in the Ocean relates to emotional turmoil you may have experienced as you navigated through life (The sea).

The ocean here could also relate to your unconscious mind, with you (Conscious mind interested in the 3D attractions) hovering on the surface. The 'Home' here would then symbolise the prior comfort your Ego construct/conscious mind experienced prior to going out on the journey of seeking. I prefer this take, though whatever you feel for you.

Now, the main aspect here is challenging conditions of the sea represented by the waterslide and you being scared. That being, which I don't think you're consciously registering, is that even though you may experience stressful events or turmoil/chaos in your life, where you are worried you won't make it, you will always navigate through it safe and sound. It may be necessary, and it could be a response to your Q asking 'Why?', with the takeaway being 'Why not?'.

You mentioned that you thought 'that those who are in charge of that boat are crazy for doing this maneuver', which is quite telling. This to me means there are forces (Higher Self, unconscious mind etc) directing your life, and even though you may take issue with some of the aspects 'they' may have placed on your life path, the point to note is that you make it safe and sound, and that you should place trust, or as A1 stated, have Faith.

Alternatively (and this is why dream interpretation is a headache), if you're questioning the directions, it could mean that you need to take control of the Boat/Your life, if you do not wish to experience those chaotic conditions. In essence don't simply 'go along for the ride', but take charge and steer away from those conditions consciously.

Just bouncing a few ideas out there. Hope it helps!
