Dream about a boat or ship: what 5 old dream books say

a boat under full sailgood — Great auspiciousness. (乘船風帆大吉利) · direction from 吉/凶 in the original

a boat piercing through the roof — something hidden and obscure (屋上穿舟有暗昧)

a boat grounded in the shallows — Quarrels and misfortune. (船淺在岸是非厄)

a boat or cart broken to pieces — An inauspicious sign. (船車破碎主不祥)

Boat — Boat signals forecast bright prospects, if upon clear water. If the water is unsettled and turbulent, cares and unhappy changes threaten the dreamer. If with a gay party you board a boat without an accident, many favors will be showered upon you. Unlucky the dreamer who falls overboard while sailing upon stormy waters.

Canoe — To paddle a canoe on a calm stream, denotes your perfect confidence in your own ability to conduct your business in a profitable way. To row with a sweetheart, means an early marriage and fidelity. To row on rough waters you will have to tame a shrew before you attain connubial bliss. Affairs in the business world will prove disappointing after you dream of rowing in muddy waters. If the waters are shallow and swift, a hasty courtship or stolen pleasures, from which there can be no lasting good, are indicated. Shallow, clear and calm waters in rowing, signifies happiness of a pleasing character, but of short duration. Water is typical of futurity in the dream realms. If a pleasant immediate future awaits the dreamer he will come in close proximity with clear water. Or if he emerges from disturbed watery elements into waking life the near future is filled with crosses for him.

Ferry — To wait at a ferry for a boat and see the waters swift and muddy, you will be baffled in your highest wishes and designs by unforeseen circumstances. To cross a ferry while the water is calm and clear, you will be very lucky in carrying out your plans, and fortune will crown you.

Life-boat — To dream of being in a life-boat, denotes escape from threatened evil. To see a life-boat sinking, friends will contribute to your distress. To be lost in a life-boat, you will be overcome with trouble, in which your friends will be included to some extent. If you are saved, you will escape a great calamity.

Man-of-war — To dream of a man-of-war, denotes long journeys and separation from country and friends, dissension in political affairs is portended. If she is crippled, foreign elements will work damage to home interests. If she is sailing upon rough seas, trouble with foreign powers may endanger private affairs. Personal affairs may also go awry.

Packet — To dream of seeing a packet coming in, foretells that some pleasant recreation is in store for you. To see one going out, you will experience slight losses and disappointments.

Shipmixed — To be on one that rocks without storm: joy and secure business; if the sea is rough: the opposite; to be in distress at sea: impending dangers, little secure fortune. If the dreamer is a prisoner, this dream promises coming freedom; the ropes on a ship foretell news from debtors or sea captains. · direction as read by the translator
