Dream 3 - Sailing in Pleasant Waters

This is the second time I saw myself sailing pleasantly. I don't remember the first one, which was some time ago, but this one was so beautiful and had a dominant feeling of peace and contentment, that I hope I never forget it.

In my dream, my mother and I are on this medium to small size sailing boat. It is white and very light and simple. It is constructed in such a way that it does not hurt people swimming around them - that was a very dominant part of my dream, that the boat was so safe that you could even swim under it, and it won't hurt you. It is made with some sort of material, that even if you go over a person, it is incredibly safe. You can hold onto the stern and even the propeller would not hurt you. Such a feeling of safety.

At first, my mother leads the boat and I swim around. It is so nice because the speed I swim matches the speed of the boat, so my mother and I never separate, we talk while I swim, very content. At one point she gets into the water as well, and I hold on the stern and play there, like I used to do when I was a little kid. Then I climb up and I sail the boat. It is so easy to lead, I can turn it in any way I want, and my  mother swims alongside, like a dolphin. It is so peaceful. And I realize, we never loose wind. Never.

Even though the boat is the safest thing, I still try to avoid the sides of the boat as much as I can when we swim, and try to avoid running over my mother when I am sailing and she is swimming. The boat is so easy to steer and so agile, that you can't avoid sometimes coming close to the swimming person. I remember once my mother goes under the nose and we brag about what a great boat this is about not harming anyone.

The place we sail is the smaller bay of my hometown. The bay is, unrealistically, not busy. So we can sail and swim the way we want. Our hometown is behind us, and the wide-open sea is ahead of us, we feel safe yet not restricted in the bay. At one point I can even see the islands of the region in the horizon, all of them, including my favorite, within a greenish fog at a distance.

Then I tell my mom maybe we should make a turn and sail the other way for a while, and I make the a big nice turn around my mother, keeping her inside of the turn in the bay by encircling her, and direct ourselves back towards the marina. My mother is still swimming alongside me. And I wake up.

Happily, all these mean good things. Swimming, sailing in pleasant waters is a good omen. It signifies contentment, happiness, prosperity and success. I wish all of these upon my family. I really believe that we all are in the right track to better lives.

Mom, I wish you all the contentment, happiness and safety just like I felt in my dream. I wish you a life that resembles the agile, light, easy-to-steer sailing, always on pleasant waters; beautiful things in the horizon and always a warm home to return to.
