Ship

A long passage over deep water

What it often means

A ship in a dream is a vessel for the long emotional crossing — larger and slower than a boat, built to carry you and others over deep water toward a distant shore. It speaks to a major journey of feeling, a shared voyage, and your trust in what holds you above the depths.

When it tends to appear

  • During a long emotional or life passage
  • When you are crossing deep feeling toward a distant goal
  • When a shared, larger journey is underway

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Is the ship steady, sinking, or off course?

    Who else is aboard the journey with you?
