hi tony,
had a stab at interpreting this dream my self,would appreciate your thoughts on it especially something i may have missed or miss interpreted,
i am sailing on the ocean in a yacht,i am a crew member,and the skipper is very capable,the sea gets very rough, we down sail ,and motor on engine only,i feel the boat is well able to cope with anything the sea can throw at it,i also feel the skipper knows what he is doing and that we are in capable hands,
looking out across the ocean,all i can see is water,but out there is our destination,i then realize the skipper knows exactly where he is going ,
i looked up to see a gigantic hood like structure above my head protecting me from the elements,
this to me was a big,vivid adventure filled dream,my own thoughts on it are that,
it represents my journey through mid life,that rather than being at the mercy of the wind,(outside forces)i do have control of sorts ,being driven by unconscious forces,ie the engine which is down below,and some higher aspect of my own psychic makeup (the skipper,old man of the sea)that knows instinctivly where to go,this may be ref to inuition,
the latter part,the giant hood protecting me,reminded of buddha ,when the cobra sheilded him ,as i am not buddha,but mear mortal,would like any thoughts you may on this aspect,
kind regards mikey
