Un océan peut évoquer la profondeur, l’ouverture ou le débordement. Commencez par le rivage, la météo et votre perception de son immensité.
Quelle était votre version ?
Un rivage paisible
Où trouvez-vous du recul ?
Une mer agitée
Qu’est-ce qui semble dépasser vos ressources ?
Un horizon ouvert
Quelle possibilité continue à vous attirer vers l’avant ?
Une façon d'y réfléchir
Un horizon lointain peut sembler offrir de l’espace, tandis qu’une mer sombre peut paraître difficile à connaître. Étiez-vous en train de naviguer, de nager ou sur la terre ferme ? Qu’attendiez-vous de l’océan ? Votre réponse peut indiquer un désir d’espace, un sentiment difficile ou le souvenir d’un lieu réel.
Emportez une question dans votre journée.
Gardez-le avant qu'il ne s'efface. Aucun compte nécessaire.

Les récits derrière le symbole
Dans les épopées grecques, la mer accueille les voyages, les obstacles et les retours au foyer. Dans le folklore maritime, elle est à la fois une source de subsistance et une force imprévisible. Ces traditions proposent des façons contrastées de penser le même paysage.

To dream of the ocean when it is calm is propitious. The sailor will have a pleasant and profitable voyage. The business man will enjoy a season of remuneration, and the young man will revel in his sweetheart's charms.
To be far out on the ocean, and hear the waves lash the ship, forebodes disaster in business life, and quarrels and stormy periods in the household.
To be on shore and see the waves of the ocean foaming against each other, foretells your narrow escape from injury and the designs of enemies.
To dream of seeing the ocean so shallow as to allow wading, or a view of the bottom, signifies prosperity and pleasure with a commingling of sorrow and hardships.
To sail on the ocean when it is calm, is always propitious.

To dream of hearing the lonely sighing of the sea, foretells that you will be fated to spend a weary and unfruitful life devoid of love and comradeship.
Dreams of the sea, prognosticate unfulfilled anticipations, while pleasures of a material form are enjoyed, there is an inward craving for pleasure that flesh cannot requite.
For a young woman to dream that she glides swiftly over the sea with her lover, there will come to her sweet fruition of maidenly hopes, and joy will stand guard at the door of the consummation of changeless vows. See Ocean.

To dream of going to sea in a ship or steamer, is a sign that you will be fortunate in money matters: storms and perils at sea foretell difficulties which may be overcome: if you dream you are seasick, it denotes continued health. If a girl dreams of going to sea, and having a pleasant voyage, she will marry rich, and love her husband; but storms and perils point to quarrels with him.

To dream you are on the ocean with a woman, is a sign some female friend is deceitful, or that you are deceitful in some friends. It is unlucky to dream you swim, walk on, or catch fish in the season. But it is nevertheless lucky to dream of the ocean to any person about to go on a journey, unless, indeed, it be very tempestuous.

To dream of walking upon the sea, is good to him that would travel; as also to a servant, and to him that would take a wife, or who hath a lawsuit. To a young man, this dream is love of a beautiful young woman. To a woman, it signifies she leads a desolate life; for the sea is like a harlot, because it hath a fair appearance and show, but in the end brings many to evil. To dream you walk in the sea, or on the shore, or catch fish, is a bad dream.

The ancient symbol of life. In a dream a calm ocean augurs good, a stormy one ill, a smooth ocean denotes accomplishment in love and in life. Offerings and vows to the divinity signify a desire to return to virtue and divine love (Gypsy).
