Dream interpretation of hazrat daniyal (may allah have mercy on him) has said that seeing a boat in a dream is grief, imprisonment, or a task that will cause distress and suffering, especially if the boat is out of the river or the boat is seated in the river. hazrat ibn sirin (may allah have mercy on him) said that if someone sees in a dream that he is in a boat and comes out safely, then it is a sign that he will be saved from distress. god's command is: {fangynah wa-man ma’ahe fi al-fulk al-mashhoon} (ash-shu'ara 26:119) 'we saved him and those with him from the loaded ship.' and if he sees that the boat is destroyed in the river, it is a sign that he will be destroyed by the hands of some people, will be caught in grief and calamity, and will be saved late. and if he sees that the boat has sunk and he has survived, it is a sign that his wealth will be lost, but he will survive. and if he sees that the boat is broken and everything is sunk, it is a sign that a great calamity will come upon him. and if he sees that he is seated on a high place in the boat and the boat is moving in the water, it is a sign that he will attain closeness and rank with the king and chiefs. and if he sees that the boats are stationary and the ships are moving, it is a sign that he will travel. god's command is: {wa-lahul-jawari al-manshat fi al-bahr kal-ulam} (ar-rahman 55:24) 'and for him the ships in the sea are like banners.' and if he sees that the boats are stationary, it is a sign that he will travel and stay for a long time, rather he will reside in that journey, and if he sees that he is seated in the boat and a good wind has come and it is driving the boat well, it is a sign that he will be saved from grief and distress, and if he sees that the boat is stationary and waves are coming from everywhere, it is a sign that he will face hardship and fear of destruction. god's command is: {waja’ahumu al-mouj min kulli makan} (yunus 10:22) 'and waves came upon them from every place.' and if he sees that the boat is going ahead of him and he cannot reach it, it is a sign that he will be involved in a difficult task and will eventually be liberated. {fangynah wa-ashabu assafinah} (al-ankabut 29:15) 'we rescued him and the companions of the ship.' and if he sees that the river is flowing beside the boat, it is a sign that he will travel and gain much benefit. god's command is: {yuzji lokumul-fulk fil-bahr litabtughu min fadlihi} (al-isra 17:66) 'he makes the ship run for you in the sea that you may seek of his bounty.' and if he sees that there is nothing in the boats and they are going empty, it is a sign that the king will send ambassadors somewhere and if he sees the boats have sunk, it's a sign that those ambassadors will be stopped. hazrat jabir maghribi (may allah have mercy on him) said that if he sees that the boat has sunk in the river and knows it was not his property, it is a sign that he has no fear of destruction. and if he sees that he is sitting in the boat and fears the king, it is a sign that he will be close to the king and will gain profit according to the greatness of the boat, and if he sits safely in the boat, it is a sign that he will have fear from the king. and if he sees that boats in the river are adorned with colorful clothes, it is a sign that he will be close to the king, and if he sees the boat has gone to the bottom of the river, it is a sign that he will have great strength from the king and if he sees the boat does not move, its interpretation is contrary. hazrat ismail ashath (may allah have mercy on him) said if he sees he is seated in a small boat and it does not move in the river, it is a sign that his grief and distress will increase, and if he sees the boat is moving in the water, it is a sign that he will travel and return quickly, and if he sees his boat standing on dry land, it is a sign that he will be helpless in some task. hazrat jafar sadiq (may allah have mercy on him) said that seeing a boat in a dream is for eight reasons: (1) child (2) father (3) woman (4) travel (5) happiness (6) safety (7) luxury (8) wealth and prosperity.
