Dr. Nereida Gonzalez-Berrios, MD, reviewer and certified psychiatrist of ThePleasantDream, commented, “Just as the occupants aboard the sinking boat experience scary sensations, they can represent similar emotions in your waking life.”
She explained that “dreaming of a sinking boat signifies that something is triggering your emotions and it’s becoming too overwhelming for you. Yet, you are fighting your problems.
Besides that, she believes, “a dream reflects your outer and inner emotions. Your dreams have a hidden meaning that you should focus on, introspect what’s troubling you, and devise ways to heal yourself.”
