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.

When it appears with another

Sea in company

  • sea + bird

    Spirit over the depths. The intuition is reading something the conscious mind hasn't named yet; trust the gut before the argument.

  • sea + storm

    Emotion meeting the unconscious at full force. A great feeling is breaking; let it pass through rather than damming it.

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.
