Dreaming of sea
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of A calm sea is the augury of safe ventures and good return.
Drawn down, it warns of A stormy sea foretells turmoil in affairs, particularly trade and travel.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of The vast ocean is the collective unconscious. To swim well in it is to have access to deep cultural and ancestral material.
Drawn down, it warns of Being tossed by waves is being acted on by archetypal forces you have not yet identified.

Did you dream this?
Keep it before it fades
Write the dream down in your journal and the cards will name its symbols for you, or have the whole dream read in full.
