Aspects: Ferry · Ferryboat · Fireboat · Fishing boat · Ship · Star

In a dream, a fishing boat represents profits and benefits. To sail on an unknown boat or to pilot a boat or to give orders to sailors who are operating it in a dream means marriage to a woman from a country to which the boat belongs, or it could mean doing business in that land. To ride on a ferryboat in a dream means receiving God's benevolence and kindness in crossing over danger. A boat in a dream also represents one's relatives. Thus, whatever atmospheric conditions the skies exhibits during the crossing or during a journey by boat, they will manifest in one's family. In a dream, a fireboat means dispelling anxieties, overcoming distress and adversities. (Also see Carpenter; Helm; Ship)
