  • Falling in deep waters:

    Failing into deep waters and not reaching the bottom of it in a dream means prosperity and wealth, for the world is a deep ocean. A sudden fall into water in a dream also means joy and money.

  • Sea:

    (Government) The element of ocean in a dream represents a prison where sea lives are incarcerated, and it means losses, fear, despair, limitless knowledge, a city without walls, or the world, its trials and wonders. An ocean or a sea in a dream also represents a strong ruler who is just, compassionate toward his subjects and whom people revere, have access to, and seek for their daily needs. If a businessman sees an ocean in a dream, it represents his merchandise.

    As for a worker or an apprentice, the ocean in a dream represents his veteran teacher or master. If one sees the ocean in a dream, it means that he will succeed in his goals. If one sees himself entering into the ocean or sea in a dream, it means that he will enter before a ruler, or stand before someone in authority.

    If one sees himself sitting or lounging at the sea shore in a dream, it means that he will work for such a person or a ruler, though he will be observing caution and diplomacy with him. If one sees himself drinking the entire water of the sea though no one sees him except the king in a dream, it means that he will reign and live a long life. Drinking any portion thereof also means equal earnings to what he takes in.

    If one sees himself drinking from it to quench his thirst in the dream, it means riches, strength and longevity. If one sees himself asking for some of its water to drink in a dream, it means that he is seeking to work for such a strong person or ruler. If he pours its water in a pitcher in the dream, it means prosperity, or that he will receive a bounteous gift from God Almighty to encompass a high rank as well as riches.

    If one sees strong waves bringing seawater to his street without causing damages in a dream, it means that a ruler or a great person will enter or visit that locality. Bathing in seawater in a dream means repentance from one’s sins. Seeing the ocean from a distance in a dream means that calamities, temptations and trials are coming to one’s community.

    If one sees the sea receding, whereby he can see the edges of the earth it covers in a dream, it means diminishing of his authority and control, or that the wrath of God Almighty has descended upon that locality. This calamity could be carried by one’s own government, economic tribulations, drought, or one’s enemies. Standing over seawater in a dream means attaining something one did not seek.

    Walking in the air above the seawater in a dream represents the person’s good intentions, his clarity, faith and certitude. If a sick person sees himself taking ablution in seawater in a dream, it means that he will recover from his illness, or it could mean payment of one’s debts and relief from worldly pressures.

Navigating Your Emotional Waters: Practical Tips

• Reflect on Your Current Life Situation

  Take a moment to ponder any areas in your life where you feel a sense of loss or turmoil. Shipwrecks in dreams often mirror our conscious fears or unresolved conflicts. Consider keeping a dream journal, where you can write down your dreams and your thoughts about them.

  This practice not only enhances your memory of dreams but also illuminates recurring themes. Reflect on your emotions upon waking from the dream. Were you anxious, sad, or relieved?

  Such feelings can guide you in understanding your subconscious messages. Additionally, address any real-life situations that may be causing you distress. By confronting challenges head-on, you might find the shipwrecks of your dreams transforming into new journeys of hope and recovery.

• Seek Support from Trusted Friends or Counselors

  Sometimes, navigating the storms of our emotions requires external support. Sharing your dream and associated feelings with a trusted friend or counselor can offer new perspectives. They may help you notice elements you hadn't considered, giving you clarity about your dream's meaning.

  Within a supportive environment, you can explore your emotions and perceptions surrounding the dream. Open conversations may also lead to discovering ways to cope with your anxieties. Remember, it’s okay to seek help during turbulent times; just as ships need maintenance to sail smoothly, we, too, need support when we find ourselves in choppy waters.
