Dream diagnosis: “Everyone in your dream is an aspect of you,” says Walden. Your dreams are just showing you the areas in your life you need to work on, she adds. Rather than feeling like you’re guilty of a major HR violation, focus on what the dream represents. Water symbolizes emotions and deep feelings, and the boat cruising means you’re on the surface of those feelings, says Walden.
Just like water isn’t really water, your boss isn’t really the dude who was signing your paychecks way back when. “A boss represents your inner authority,” says Walden. “Most of the time, if we have sex in a dream or are intimate in a dream, it’s not a literal thing like, ‘I have feelings for that person.’ It’s more about who the represent."
Here, you’re connecting deeply with the boss inside of you, which means you’re taking charge and moving toward success in real life—or you're getting there.
