An interpretation of beach dreams

An interpretation of beach dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. The beach in a dream can symbolize where two parts of you or your life meet. Most commonly it’s where the unconscious mind and conscious mind meet, but there are other possibilities. For example, the beach can symbolize your rational mind, and the water of the ocean can symbolize emotions. A shoreline can be an analogy for the emotions and feelings that arise out of you. It can symbolize where the masculine (land, yang) and feminine (ocean, yin) meet. No matter what your gender, you have elements of both genders in you, and they are rooted in the foundation of your psyche. See: Vaginas Another analogy is that the ocean represents possibilities, and the shoreline represents reality. The conscious mind emerges from the unconscious the way land rises out of the sea, so a beach or shoreline is a ready-made symbol for newly conscious aspects of yourself. These aspects are often perceived at first as strange, and can take forms in dreams as strange sea creatures or clumps of unrecognizable stuff washed up on the shore. In time, you will get to know these new aspects of yourself and they will become more recognizable. The beach can symbolize a new phase of life. You’ve reach new land, in a sense. The beach is associated with vacations and idle time, so dreaming about a beach can indicate desire for, or thoughts related to, travel and rest. It might indicate a longing for the easy life or, conversely, for adventure, especially if water sports are involved. The shoreline is commonly used in media and advertising to portray times when a person is reminiscing or reflecting on life. Looking into the distance from a beach can symbolize trying to discern what is approaching in the future, or keeping attention on some distant goal, pursuit, or event. If you reach a coast or beach after a voyage, it can symbolize being on firm ground, meaning a more secure place in your life, or feeling ready for whatever comes next. Taking off from a shoreline can symbolize embarking on a new journey in life.
