Ship in a dream
In folk belief, a ship in a dream means a long voyage, patience and safe sailing toward the harbor you want.
Old dream books read a ship as a big undertaking that takes time. A ship on calm water means things are moving slowly but reliably, and full sails that you have support. In folk belief, coming into harbor speaks of a goal reached and a return home, while a ship on the open sea means you are only halfway there. Even when the ship rocks in your dream, it is said to be just a sign of a lively time in which you hold the helm well.
