To dream of a raft, denotes that you will go into new locations to engage in enterprises, which will prove successful.
To dream of floating on a raft, denotes uncertain journeys. If you reach your destination, you will surely come into good fortune.
If a raft breaks, or any such mishap befalls it, yourself or some friend will suffer from an accident, or sickness will bear unfortunate results.

To dream of seeing a raft foretells a journey—the longer the raft, the more extensive the line of travel: if you dream of sailing on a raft, it is a sign you will travel, with good success, in distant countries.
