This dream was aprox 8 years ago.
I had it about 3 times that I can say I actually remembered it all.

i remember being on a boat dock trying to find my way across the water ... the water was shimmery clear green color ..very pretty ..but oil boats were near ... i kept walking back and forth ...
a large amount of carpets come in ..like oriental rugs .. and there is a ware house near by ..where they are kept ..i get rolled up inside of a oriental rug I hear a man say ship it out ..its going out on that shipment
its tightly rapped and im feeling squished in ... not to mention i feel all the movement of the boat and can feel being slammed around as they drop the carpet
I can smell oil ... like maybe this isnt a boat I should of been on ..or these carpets are illegally being imported...its feels smells like a oil boat not a cargo boat ...( i have no clue on this area am guessing)

I wake up

Hi Deborah, seeing a boat in your dreams means you have control over your emotions. The carpet represents your way of protecting yourself from life's harsh realities, yet I do not totally agree with this in your case.
I need to think a bit longer on this.....
