…Dreaming of this type of boat has a clear meaning, depending on the state of the sail. If a sailboat with open sails is seen in the dream, then it’s indicative of very good future prospects.

…Dreaming of a small boat for recreation or racing, especially an open boat with a mast and sails, or any other boat of this type, only if it is not to for war, indicates hopes, projects, trips, and joys, all depending on how the waters are to know if everything will be happy or tragic. For example, if the waters are turbid and there’s a storm threatening to start, it’s a warning of approaching problems, on the contrary, if the waters are calm and the ship floats smoothly, it indicates that everything will be okay.

This dream is related within the mythic archetypes with death, and therefore some authors suggest it as ominous dream. However it can be interpreted following our role in the dream, in relation to the boat.

The beams of a ship represent religious men, faith, holding fast to one’s religion, or they could mean complications. The sails of a ship in a dream represent its captain. The crew represents servants. The rowing oars, the rudders, or the propellers in a dream represent the movement of the ship, or the children of its owner. The condition of a ship represents the state of the person seeing the dream or his living condition. If one rescues a drowned ship in a dream, it means that he will discover a treasure, or it could mean marriage if one is unwed, or a financial gift for one who works for a governor. If one sees himself as…
