Ocean
To dream of an ocean represents powerful uncertainty in your life. Uncertainty about the rest of your life. Confrontation with negative situations or negative emotions. Your biggest struggles or most baffling challenges. Feeling that a problem is too enormous.
To travel across the ocean represents navigating through a phase of your life that's filled with powerful uncertainty or enormous challenges. You are getting through a problematic situation.
To dream of a calm or pleasant ocean view represents stability and emotional balance. Issues have been confronted or accepted. You are handling yourself well or have taken control of a difficult situation. Feelings about having no problems for the rest of your life. Feelings about enjoying a stable working romantic relationship for the rest of your life.
To dream of rough waters on the ocean represents emotional turbulence, uncertainty, and feeling overwhelmed by unresolved problems you are unsure you will ever be able to fix. Feeling lost. Instability, anxiety, conflict, or rapidly changing circumstances that feel unpredictable or hard to control.
To swim in the ocean represents feelings about your attempt to navigate or handle yourself in a situation with enormous uncertainty. Your effort to cope with powerful uncertainty on your own without guaranteed support or a clear path. Self-reliance amid risk. Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or afraid you�ll "go under" if pressures keep increasing. You are "up to your neck" in a problem.
To fall into the ocean represents feelings about a loss of control, an unexpected setback, or being "thrown" into an enormously uncertain situation that you are not prepared for. Panic, fear of being consumed by problems, or worry that you won't resurface if pressures keep rising. A confrontation or struggle with uncertainty. You may feel overwhelmed by a problem or challenge.
To dream of a pink ocean may reflect feelings about having a serious problem overcoming lust or sexual attraction for someone. Sexual attraction that you feel could become a serious problem.
Example: A woman dreamed of floating in the middle of the ocean with no land, boats, or airplanes in sight. In waking life, her husband filed for divorce and she was so powerfully affected by it that she couldn't work or do anything except think about how terrible her life was now. She felt overwhelmed by the uncertainty of thinking about the rest of her life.
Example 2: A man dreamed of floating in a boat in the middle of a stormy ocean. In waking life, he was having enormous difficulty keeping his life stable as he experienced major health and financial issues simultaneously. In this case, the stormy ocean may have reflected his feelings about the powerful uncertainty and chaos of multiple crises while feeling forced to "stay afloat" on his own.
Example 3: A woman dreamed of swimming in the ocean trying to get to shore. In waking life, she was heavily pregnant and concerned with safely getting through the pregnancy. In this case, swimming in the ocean and trying to get to shore may have reflected her feelings about steadily working through the unpredictable challenges of late pregnancy while aiming for the "shore" as a symbol of safety, support, and a successful delivery.
Example 4: A woman dreamed of her very young son getting washed away into the ocean. In waking life, she was pregnant with her second child and felt that all the attention the pregnancy was getting was forcing her to neglect her son to the point where he risked getting kicked off the soccer team if he didn't pass a test at school. In this case, seeing her son being washed away into the ocean may have reflected her oversensitive feelings of uncertainty about her son being neglected for the rest of his life due to her pregnancy.
Example 5: A woman dreamed of a pink ocean that she was warned to avoid. In waking life, she had just taken a restraining order off her ex-boyfriend. They made up, but she felt that his sexual attraction to her was too powerful with the potential to create problems that may restart all the trouble that led to the original restraining order. In this case, the pink ocean may have reflected her feelings of uncertainty about being raped due to her ex-boyfriend wanting to have sex with her for the rest of her life.
Example 6: A woman dreamed of falling into the ocean. In waking life, she got involved in a lawsuit directed towards her mother from other family members. In this case, falling into the ocean may have reflected her feelings about being suddenly pulled into an enormous, stressful, and uncertain family conflict that she wasn�t prepared for.
