Sailor in a dream
In old dream books, a sailor in a dream announces a trip, news from afar and a wish for wider horizons.
In the folk imagination the sailor is a man of distant harbors, with someone always waiting for him at home. A dream about him is read as longing for travel and change, but also as a faithfulness that lasts in spite of distance. A sailor on a calm sea is believed to mean a safe trip, and one returning to port a meeting soon with someone dear. If the sailor was you, you are said to be ready to set sail toward something new. The dream stirs curiosity and hope.
