Ocean
What it can mean
The ocean often stands for the vast, deep layers of the mind — feelings and memories larger than everyday thought. A calm sea can suggest openness and peace; stormy waves may point to emotions that feel too big to manage. Many traditions also link the sea to longing, travel and the unknown.
