SAILOR

It is this image that usually appears in dreams. He represents freedom, both of movement and of spirit, and is a representation of the Tramp (see Archetypes). He suggests someone who is totally in control of his own destiny.

A modern- day sailor would have the added benefit of being in control of his own environment.

2- If a sailor does appear in a dream, particularly in a woman’s, he is usually a somewhat romanticised figure and can represent the Hero (see Archetypes). In a man’s dream he represents the part of himself which seeks freedom, but that needs to be given permission or authority to take that freedom.

3- Spiritually; the sailor can signify communication.

The aspect of freedom links with a quality of Mercury who, having been given a task, then forgets what it is.
