I’m counting grains of sand on a beach but I never finish because the tide gently rolls in and disrupts the counting
This dream could symbolize feelings of being overwhelmed or unable to fully complete a task or goal. Counting grains of sand on a beach represents a seemingly endless and time-consuming process. It may reflect your attempt to find order or control in a particular situation or in life.
However, the gentle rolling tide represents external factors that continuously interfere with your progress. This can suggest that despite your efforts, circumstances beyond your control prevent you from accomplishing what you set out to do. The dream may be highlighting your frustration and the feeling of being unable to achieve closure or reach your desired outcome.
It could also serve as a reminder to be adaptable and flexible in accepting that not everything can be fully controlled or finished. Learning to navigate and find peace within the ever-changing tides of life may be the key to finding contentment.
