Being on a ferry signifies a transition between two states of existence. The crossing of water marks the passage from one condition to another, and the vessel carries the person through this change. This dream does not indicate a permanent arrival, but rather the state of being in flux.
A transition is a movement that requires a stable ground to depart and a destination to reach. The ferry provides this necessary passage, yet the dream remains a report on the process itself. The journey is the focus, not the shores.
A dream of missing a ferry signifies that a course of action has been halted. The failure to board the vessel marks a moment where the expected change is deferred or blocked.
The motion of riding a ferry shows that the shift from one way of being to another happens with grace. The movement through this period occurs without friction.
The descent of a ferry sinking marks a struggle that has been overtaken by the depths. This descent into the depths implies that the attempt to pass from one way of being to another has failed and been swallowed by the weight of the situation.
For its more general meaning: Dream about a boat
I am in the belly of a big modern ferry. I stand between cars and see trucks. Nobody else is around. I cannot feel the ferry moving. The car deck is still and lit. There are no sounds, smells or sensations.
