Air-Sea Rescue

To be rescued from the sea depicts a situation in which you are at the mercy of powerful natural forces – perhaps strong spontaneous emotions or fear – that you are not dealing with well, otherwise you would not need to be rescued.

Even if it is someone else rescued in most cases it still points to an aspect of you that needs help. This may refer to a difficulty in dealing with the demands of life generally, and a dangerous attraction to giving up, losing your identity as you withdraw inwardly. If you are seeing or actively helping in an air sea rescue, this suggests an action to deal with feelings that might otherwise engulf you or someone else. In this case it is showing what strengths or techniques you use to deal with difficulties and challenges. See: Sea.
