Personal symbolism
A man-of-war places travel and separation beside political strain, giving the dream a broad, unsettled atmosphere. A long voyage can mean distance from country and friends, while a crippled ship points toward damage to home interests from foreign elements. Rough seas bring the possibility that trouble between foreign powers could spill into private affairs. The final note extends the concern to personal matters generally. Consider whether the ship was sound or struggling, and whether the strongest feeling was distance, danger, or disruption.
Questions to reflect on
- Was the ship sailing smoothly, crippled, or on rough seas?
