Sailing

Sailboat, Sailing boat, Setting sail

Sailing means working with the wind instead of a motor. You can't control the weather, but you can adjust your course as you go, and that skill is what this dream is about. It often appears when you're steering through a situation shaped by forces bigger than you, like other people's moods or the season of life you're in. Gliding along on a steady breeze suggests you've found a good balance between effort and going with the flow. Leaning hard into a strong wind is exciting, maybe a bit more than you bargained for.
