A large open body of water in a dream, often with a feeling of scale, freedom, or unexplored depth.
The sea in a dream—by superstition: calm—means peace, stormy—means worries. The sea is an expanded symbol of the unconscious, even larger in scale than a river or a lake—a collective, boundless psychic depth. The condition of the sea (calm, stormy, clear) in a dream often reflects one's current emotional state on its broadest scale.
Awe, freedom, sometimes a reverent fear of the scale
Often arrives when a person comes into contact with something larger than everyday life—existential questions, massive changes. Perhaps the state of the sea in this dream is an accurate reflection of the scale of emotions you are currently encountering.
Find an opportunity to be near a large body of water (if there is one nearby) or just look at a video or photo of the ocean for a few minutes in silence.
