Because of their strong association with water, ships are used by dreams to highlight journeys that are especially emotional. Battleships symbolize struggles in your waking life, such as divorce or custody battles.) Cruise ships represent romantic feelings about your love life. A cargo ship is a metaphor for a journey that carries with it a large emotional load. If the ship or boat in your dream is sinking (it feels like you are on the Titanic), you feel as if are “sinking” in your effort to reach a goal. A shipyard in a dream symbolizes the impending journey to a big emotional destination in your waking life.
