Dream symbol · S
Sinking Ship
A warning about losing control or the failure of an important project.
Dream interpretation
Dreaming of a sinking ship often means you feel overwhelmed by depressive thoughts or that a certain situation (relationship, job) is coming to an end. It is a powerful symbol of surrender. If you are trying to save the ship, you still have the will to fight. However, if you jump into the water, you are ready to leave the old behind and seek a new shore. Sinking isn't always bad; it often marks the end of illusions and the start of a more humble, truthful phase.
