Dream Symbol · Universal Language of Mind
An organization
A 'Ship' in a dream represents an organization. Like a bus, train, or airplane, a ship is a large vehicle that carries many people toward a common destination. In the Universal Language of the Mind, this reflects an organization in your life -- a company, an institution, a community -- that you are part of and using to navigate toward your goals. A ship specifically travels across water -- conscious life experiences. This suggests an organization that helps you navigate the waters of your life experiences. Pay attention to the condition of the ship and whether it is sailing smoothly or in distress. A ship in calm waters reflects a well-functioning organization. A ship in a storm indicates an organization going through turbulent times.
When a ship shows up in your dream, assess the organizations you are part of. Are they seaworthy? Are they taking you where you want to go? Or are they sinking, taking you down with them? Choose your vessels wisely.
