This dream by itself is probably not easy to understand, much of the context from the waking state is needed to clarify it further. At the time, I was working on my novel in search of information that would facilitate understanding the cultural heritage of the Balkan area in a deeper sense. The stones with drawings may have suggested that the area holds secrets even older than what we know of. The peculiar ship has for me the association with the story of Avalon, which brings the question of how the Adriatic Sea relates to the British Isles in the first place. The main idea is that of a myth pointing to supressed ancient knowledge that had to give way to newly forming belief structures. Perhaps other areas in the world have the equivalent of Avalon story in a broader sense. Or, perhaps, there is a missing link to prehistoric old Europe that centres around Balkan, but also stretches farther into the surrounding area, connecting with western tribes at a more profound level; the story which was not widely documented, so now we have to gather other types of clues.

Apart from this dream that seemed to have originated from the collective, I have had various, more personally oriented dreams, featuring ships in all shapes and contexts. To name a few, there were dreams where I paraded in whimsical dresses on a boat gliding along canals, when a splash of water would knock me down at the merriment of others observing the scene. Then there were dreams of travelling on a cruise ship where the background music or discussing an exotic menu with a waiter would suggest if the journey was across the Mediterranean or the Red Sea. Such dreams can prophetically announce such a journey even years in advance or bring back memories of similar trips from the past to reminds us of something that was important at the time. Or they can simply point to neccessity for enjoyment of life.
