Okay, so I’ve been diving into this whole “dreams about boats” thing lately. It all started a couple weeks ago when I had this super vivid dream.
First, I grabbed a notebook and pen. I figured I needed to write this stuff down as soon as I woke up, otherwise, I’d totally forget the details. You know how dreams are – poof, gone in a flash!
So, that first night, I just jotted down everything I could remember. I was on this big, old wooden sailboat, and the sea was, like, crazy choppy. The waves were huge, and the wind was howling. I was holding onto the railing for dear life!
Then, I decided I needed to be more organized about it. I created a little chart in my notebook:
- Date: To keep track of when I had the dream.
- Type of Boat: Sailboat, motorboat, rowboat, whatever.
- Water Condition: Calm, stormy, clear, murky – all that jazz.
- My Feeling: Was I scared, excited, peaceful? You get the idea.
- Other Details: Anything else that stood out – colors, people, weird creatures, you name it.
I started doing this every morning. Some nights, nothing. But other nights, bam! Boats galore. I’ve had dreams about tiny little dinghies, massive cruise ships, even a submarine once!
The next thing I did was, I tried to look for patterns. Like, did I have more boat dreams when I ate certain foods? Nope, couldn’t find a connection there. Was it related to stress? Maybe, a little. It seemed like whenever I had a really busy day, my dreams got more intense, boat or no boat.
My Current Realization
I realized that most of my dreams is connected to how my mind is trying to process things going on in my life. It’s like, the boat is me, and the water is whatever situation I’m dealing with. Smooth sailing? Things are good. Stormy seas? I’m probably feeling overwhelmed. It’s kind of obvious when you think about it, huh?
I am still recording my dreams, it is kind of fun to see what my subconscious comes up with. Plus, it’s actually helped me be a little more aware of my feelings during the day, which is a bonus.
