Consider, that quiet and calm ocean demonstrates emotional and spiritual balance, ability to stay focused no matter what kind of circumstances you are surrounded by. Turbulent, stormy ocean represents your inability to control and manage the simplest situation.

I had a dream as if am fearing to go near the sea. i have been getting dreams about sea since a week. Last time i don’t even remember what was it.
I was in the ocean on a sunny day looking for clams and lobster. I caught sight of something in a sand hole, and I was peering in, trying to determine if it was something I could catch.
When I looked up I realized I had wandered too far, and was surrounded by fog. I peered into the fog and became fearful that I had wandered too near to the cliffs. If a big wave suddenly came, I would be crushed.
I peered out to sea through the fog and saw that the tide was low and the waves were far away. I was suddenly very tempted to go into the foggy ocean, looking for clams that I was sure to find. But an overwhelming fear overcame me and I ran away from the cliffs, the waves and the fog.
When the fog began to clear, I looked back. The cliffs were ominous and the fog was thick where I had been. I felt like I had escaped something deadly.
In my dream is was night time about 2 in the morning. I was in a house floating on calm water (the ocean) the mood was so peaceful. I remember going into my room to open up a window and listening to the sound the ocean and seeing the beautiful water and feeling the breeze! Can someone tell me what this dream could mean?
I did not see myself but I was standing in front of what seemed like and endless ocean. The sky was a deep blue and the entire ocean was white and so bright that it made the tips of the waves golden. I could feel the spray on my face and smelled the salt air. But the sun was almost white and the entire picture that I saw were these glowing white waves, no other color, as they raged and crashed, over and over into the surf.
I was at the shore and i see waves and it hit my face… What does my dream means?

I dreamt a big tide like sunamy was coming, i was in a high wood house/tree with a man in a romantic way watching the Tide coming (blue pretty ocean/waters) but never saw the tide hit anything. We went down and the waters were calm and as blue as the big tide. A marriage was taking place before the big tide, they got married and were happy nothing happened to the people on the beach. what this means?
In my dream I was on ocean side property surrounded by the ocean. We would swim in the ocean and try to surf but would have to get out when the tide rose. As I stepped back to watch it the tide was right next to my “home” and rose rapidly and decreased rapidly but it was a calm feeling, no fear.
