Dreaming of Ocean
In short
What does dreaming of Ocean mean?
Dreaming of the ocean places you before the immensity of the collective unconscious and the vastness of the soul. To dive in or be swallowed reveals how deeply these ancestral forces have been integrated. It also carries the oceanic feeling described by Freud — fusion with the All, nostalgia for the womb, and the dissolution of the ego's boundaries.
Jungian interpretation
The collective unconscious par excellence. The ocean contains every archetype, every layer of ancestral humanity. To dive in or be swallowed reveals the degree to which these forces have been integrated.
Freudian interpretation
The 'oceanic feeling' described by Freud: fusion with the All, nostalgia for the womb, and the dissolution of the ego's boundaries.
Esoteric meaning
Neptune and Pisces, the 12th Arcana (The Hanged Man), and mystical dissolution. The primordial waters of cosmogonies (the Waters Above in Genesis).
