Running into a sailor in your dreams often means that your goals will be fulfilled in due time. A dream encounter with a sailor could also mean that you will meet your late love soon or you need someone’s support.
In dreams, a sailor is often either a hero or someone you need to find. If a person dreaming of sailors wants to seek comfort and peace, they might dream of home while if they are facing uncertainty and worry, they might dream of being rescued by a sailor.
In a sailor’s dream, he might be sailing on an endless ocean and moaning about an unknown problem that he has to solve. As he continues on his voyage with nothing but water before him, this might mean and imply the fact that he has nothing in terms of knowledge to help him solve the issues pertaining to everyday worries or problems.
