　　A dream of a boat sinking to the bottom of the water is a very ominous sign. Yet, some dreams of this can be auspicious. Why? Whose boat is it? It signifies more misfortune than good fortune. What kind of water is it? It reflects on oneself and others. Those who dream this will find both going and coming difficult; like drifting wood on water, it brings misfortune. Clear water revealing the bottom signifies good fortune. Being in a boat means the boat sinks and one dies. Being on shore means there is no one at the bottom of the water, but one sees the bottom of the boat in the waves, almost capsizing first. Being pulled ashore by the capsized boat signifies escape; acting righteously and benevolently brings good fortune. (From *Dream Interpretation of the Forest*)

　　A dream of a boat carrying gold, wood, earth, and stones. The boat represents wood, its hexagram is Zhen (震), and the boat in water is Xun (巽) and Kan (坎), signifying dispersal. The Book of Changes says, "Wind moves on water, dispersal." This is the ultimate expression of the universe. A dream of a boat carrying wood is "Wind and Thunder Benefit," signifying benefiting the lower by diminishing the upper. If the lower benefits, the upper prospers; if the upper diminishes itself, the lower will exert its utmost effort—this is called benefit. Wood tied to the boat is Zhen and Xun, signifying constancy. Constancy means permanence, and this dream indicates obtaining stable property. A dream of a boat carrying stones represents mountains, which are represented by Gen (艮), and its hexagram is "Mountain and Thunder Nourishment" (山雷颐). This signifies going against the current, saying, "Flushing Nourishment, inauspicious, seeking sustenance." One should be cautious in speech and moderate in drinking for good fortune. Going with the current is "Xun following above," meaning one should not cross great rivers and should be cautious and guarded. A dream of a boat carrying earth is very auspicious, signifying joyous events. Chen and Xu represent earth, signifying nobility; Mao and You signify wealth. A dream of a boat carrying gold and silver is auspicious with the wind and water, but inauspicious against them. A dream of carrying gold and silver is auspicious on Ren and Gui days. A dream of carrying lead and tin is auspicious on Chen, Si, Shen, and You days; all are auspicious if the dream proceeds smoothly, and inauspicious if it goes against one's wishes. A dream of carrying iron hidden in the hold is very auspicious; if it is exposed, it signifies financial loss. For those who dream of boats, interpret their appearance and movement based on what they have seen in their daily lives and what they dreamt of, to inquire about good or bad fortune. (From *Menglin Xuanjie*)

　　To dream of shooting and fishing from a boat. To dream of shooting a flying bird from a boat signifies fame in a water-rich land. To dream of catching a large fish while fishing from a boat signifies profit in a foreign land. To dream of fishing from a boat into a city signifies flooding that year. To dream of catching fish leaping into a palace signifies danger from flooding your dwelling. If your mind is not on the fish, this dream will be safe; if your mind is on catching them, this dream will bring good fortune. (From *Dream Interpretation*)
