Wharf
A platform extending over water for loading and unloading boats — the edge where land transactions meet the sea.
A wharf in a dream is the dream's image of an edge where land transactions meet the sea. The wharf is not the boat and is not the warehouse; the wharf is the surface on which the change of medium happens. The dream brings the wharf when something in your life — a transfer of work, an exchange between two different kinds of people or systems, a moment of crossing from your own setting into someone else's — is happening at a structural meeting point built for exactly this kind of handover. A wharf in active use, with the loading and unloading happening cleanly, is the dream affirming the working transfer. A wharf rotted through, with the boats unable to tie up safely, is the dream noting that the meeting point itself has decayed, and what would ordinarily pass between the two systems is now stalled.
