FERRY

1- To dream of being on a ferry indicates that we are making some movement towards change. Because the ferry carries large numbers of people it may also represent a group to which we belong needing to make changcs, needing to change its way of working and take responsibility for moving as a group rather than as individuals.

2- The ferry is one of the oldest symbols that is associated with death.

The old idea of being ferried across the River Styx, the boundary between life and death, gives an image of making major change.

3- A spiritual ‘death’ or change of some kind.

The dreamer needs to be aware that lie may, spiritually, be moving on from his present knowledge.

(1) This may symbolize moving from one phase of your life to another; or a resolve to leave the past behind for a new and better future.

(3) Going across a river or other narrow stretch of water in a ferryboat may symbolize death. (This symbolism occurs in Greek, Egyptian and other mythology.) See also Dead / Death, for literal and figurative understandings.

FIGHT(ING)

Symbol: A ferry, like a bridge, is a connection between two shores.

Vision: Being on a ferry crossing a lake or river: pay attention to the depth and width of the water, but in general the dream is not a good omen for your journey into maturity.

Depth Psychology: The ferry is an expression of your search for a new spiritual dimension. You have decided—if not, do so now—to let go of past emotional reactions and habits.
