Ferry crossing
A boat carrying passengers across a stretch of water — a transit you cannot complete by your own movement.
A ferry crossing in a dream is the dream's image of a transit you cannot make by your own movement. The ferry has its own schedule, its own captain, and the passenger's job is to be on the right boat at the right time. The dream brings the ferry when something in your life — a passage between phases, a transition supported by a service larger than you, an immigration of any kind — is going to be made by stepping on and waiting. A ferry boarded at the right hour is the dream affirming the timely passage. A ferry watched leaving the dock with you still on shore is the dream noting that the schedule was real and was missed, and the next boat is not yet known.
