What does it mean when you dream about sea/water?

Dreams are usually about something that happened to you recently, or could be something you have thought about. Did you recently watch a movie about sailing, or the ocean, or something along those lines?
In the water, do you drown, or are you swimming, or just looking at it from a beach?

In dreams, water is usually a symbol of inner feelings and thoughts. The ocean represents the larger intensity of these inner feelings and thoughts. If the ocean is peaceful and calm, it could mean that good things are in store for the dreamer. On the other hand, a stormy sea may represent some inner turmoil the dreamer is experiencing.
