Fjord
A deep narrow sea inlet cut into a cliff country — water reaching far inland between tall walls.
A fjord in a dream is the dream's image of water reaching far inland between tall walls of rock. The fjord is calm at the surface and very deep beneath; the cliffs around it are older than anything alive. The dream brings the fjord when something in your life — a feeling, an old quiet truth, a long private relationship — is reaching deep into a place that looks merely scenic on the surface and is, in fact, dropping straight down. A fjord sailed slowly with awareness of the depth is the dream affirming the careful traverse. A fjord crossed casually as if it were a shallow bay is the dream noting that the depth was not respected, and any incident on the surface will be much harder to recover from than the calm water suggests.
