Common meanings
- 01
The scale of what you have not yet examined. Where a lake is a feeling, the ocean is the entire unconscious.
- 02
Possibility and its vertigo. Standing at the edge of an ocean in a dream is standing at the edge of a decision.
- 03
Depth. If you went under, something asked to be met at a level you do not usually go to.
The emotional angle
Awe, mostly — and the smallness that comes with it. Some people wake calm, some wake anxious, and the difference is usually whether they were facing the water or had their back to it.
What it may be asking of you
The ocean dream is the moment to set a bigger intention than you had planned. The subconscious has just shown you that the wish you were nursing is smaller than the space available. Tonight, say the larger version once.
Tonight’s intention
There is more than enough, and I am part of it.
Questions people ask
Peace with the size of things. It often follows a decision you have finally made.
Dreamed of ocean last night?
A dictionary reads the word. The decoder reads your dream — where it was, who was there, what you felt.
