The meaning of the sea varies. It symbolizes the thoughts of the past, mother, uncertain future and one’s own life, life, pregnancy and childbirth, and the afterlife, but it is said to be especially symbolic of the past and mother. A dream of challenging something at sea represents challenges and adventures in one’s life, and the expectation and anxiety that follows. A dream of advancing smoothly on water skiing or succeeding in whaling is a foresight dream that the curtain of life is wide open and fortune is bright. The fisherman’s dream of catching fish is also a dream.
