Embarking in a dream can symbolize entering a new phase of life. The ship of your life is sailing. You have a fresh start. You are changing. Another way of looking at it is that the journey relates to a particular project or area of life. For example, setting sail is a way of describing getting married. A project is said to “get off the ground” or “launch.” See: Journeys Or perhaps you’re growing as a person or reaching for new personal destinations. You leave your old ways behind—leave behind the person you were—to become someone new. You’ll never be the same again.
