Thanks Sunflower and Tony!
Sunflower-I resonate with your interpretation and appreciate your sharing your perspective.
I can only add that I mentioned the metaphor of the sailing experience as thats what makes my life so dream-like.My entire life experience is becoming more and more vividly and visibily symbolic.When I am in the middle of the ocean in my boat, the beauty,vastness and mystery of eternity is symbolic as the ocean in both my inner and outer world.However the big boats appearing in the picture has brought me out of eternity and back into my human mind.If indeed owning a big boat is one of many possibilities then the question that arises is-do I want to spend my precious time,energy and focus on aquiring a big,fancy boat ? or would I much rather enjoy the mystery of the ocean irrespective of the boat I'm in?
How crazy is it to try and be captain ? ( the desire to be in charge of a boat i.e.my life,in the middle of an impossible-to-be-in-charge-of-ocean).
You hit the nail on the head when you asked "Who is my God?"
Whatever I have created till now based on my earlier faith and beliefs is only a small part of what I have yet to learn of the unknown. The dream indicates that I seem to be keen on investigating and knowing the vast unknown (represented as investigating crystal balls in the dream and as sailing the ocean in waking life.)
The biggest question that arises for me is what Tony pointed out -"whatever existed was and is Unknown - science still can't get a handle on it - yet from that unknown the whole amazing universe came about."
Tony- Is the dream suggesting that I am getting too scientific and trying to understand what can never be understood? That no matter how big the boat is I can never be in charge of the ocean - its as absurd as attempting to investigate the Crystal balls through science.
And yet if I don't learn to sail my boat then how can I navigate through the ocean? A better sailor does have a better chance of sailing through life! Perhaps I can be a better sailor and on a bigger boat too!
