What does dreaming about boat & ship mean in the Bible?

Carried through deep water — with Christ aboard

In Scripture

The disciples' boat is one of the Gospels' recurring classrooms: storms rise, Jesus is present, and the crossing is completed. Peter even stepped out of one and walked toward Him. A boat dream often mirrors a passage you are making through uncertain waters — the outcome turns on who is in the boat with you.
