The ocean is the cradle of all life on Earth.
According to Jung, the ocean is a place of creativity, fertility and birth. Humans feel their evolutionary affiliation with the collective forms of life that originated in the ocean. In this, the influence of the ideas of Darwinism can be easily traced. Moreover, such an approach, which is applied by individuals to the interpretation of dreams, is imperfect due to the insufficient number of connecting links between its components.
For many people, the ocean is associated with such types of entertainment as ship cruises, yachts, scuba diving, which were not available to people of the past.
Perhaps a person who sees the ocean in a dream associates it precisely with entertainment and does not perceive it as a source of life and fertility at all.
For some, especially if they can't swim, the ocean carries a tinge of fear and ill omen.
Its endless expanses, combined with the inability to stay afloat, can be a symbol of the struggle with the irresistible that you lead in real life.
