Why do you dream about the frozen sea? When the Black Sea froze A dream about a sea with dirty water promises the dreamer

The dream book claims that night dreams about the sea indicate: a time comes in a person’s life when he depends not only on his own strengths, but also on other circumstances. Interpretations are also based on the plots of the vision, on the image of the elements themselves: gentle or menacing. But all astrologers agree on one thing: a dream about the sea is an important warning.

There is a version that our expectations and dreams come true in dreams about sea beauties: the quiet surface of the water means wonderful changes in life, and raging waves mean trouble. Such stereotypes have been created for centuries, because people have always not only respected this element, but also feared it, trying to appease the sea gods. Times have changed, but the attitude towards visions has remained. Dream books give several explanations for why you dreamed of a sea in which the water is clean and clear:

to fulfill aspirations and desires;
to successful resolution of problems;
to a stable and calm life;
to ideal relationships with loved ones;
to the need to reassess values.

Some predictors see in a calm sea also disturbing notes for the dreamer, such as:

Alienation in relationships. If in the near future you manage to refrain from quarrels, then the cooling will disappear on its own.
Resolution of important issues may stall; calm seas are associated with stagnation in business.
It's time to think about reassessing values, not to drive away sad thoughts, but to analyze them.

Why do you dream of a dirty sea?

See in a dream dirty water is considered a bad sign, the same applies to the sea. A muddy sea in a dream is a signal of a possible quarrel with friends, relatives or colleagues. Some dream books advise preparing for the dangers that may lurk in reality. Astrologers give several interpretations of such a dream:

being in the water is a warning about gossip around you;
seeing a calm, dirty sea from the outside means witnessing unpleasant events;
watching large muddy waves - problems will directly affect the dreamer.

Why do you dream about the blue sea?

The most beautiful and pleasant dream - azure to the very horizon, gentle sun and surf. Why do you dream about the blue sea? It has long been known that calm, blue sea water represented a rich catch for our ancestors - for good. Today it is associated with the best impressions summer holiday. Therefore, the interpretation of the dream is very rosy:

to a pleasant, long-awaited meeting;
to wonderful surprises;
to finding spiritual harmony;
to a calm period in life.

If small waves are visible on the surface of the water, this indicates creative inspiration; to see a light storm of the blue sea in a dream means an explosion of pleasant emotions. And seeing fish in the sea means your wish will come true. According to the dream book, the sea has other interpretations, less pleasant, which depend on the actions of the dreamer:

seeing the blue sea from a boat, far from the shore - a warning against wrong decisions;
if you can’t get to land, you will soon need the help of friends;
if you accidentally fell into a calm, blue-tinged sea, your superiors may call you.

Why do you dream of a green sea?

The hue of sea water plays an important role; some people dream of emerald waves. What does it mean to see a green sea in a dream? For some reason, most dream books note an unpleasant sign:

health problems may arise;
unpleasant events are coming when you will have to defend your point of view;
wandering in the greenish waves of the surf - hopes will not come true, but bad consequences will be avoided;
quarrels with relatives are not excluded in the near future;
for business people - to financial problems in business.

Why do you dream about the cold sea?

But if you suddenly see the icy waters of Antarctica, it’s time to be wary. Everything related to cold weather is always interpreted not very positively by astrologers, and such a dream is no exception. Why do you dream about the frozen sea? The stars say that the sea covered with ice confirms the unfulfillment of strong desires. If the ice binds the surface only near the shore, some of the plans will still come true. Regarding the dreamer's actions:

Collide with an iceberg - expect unpleasant news about your loved one.
Dive under the ice - you will have to risk yourself for the sake of your family;
Walking on the frozen sea - you will soon be the center of attention;
Seeing the ice on the sea breaking up means you will cause the collapse of someone’s plans.

It happens that the dreamer encounters a cold sea, without ice. If you dare to swim in this, you will be able to overcome your fear of obstacles. The water is clean - the obstacles will be small, if it is muddy and dirty - it may not be possible. When you dream of a morning beach with still unheated sea water, this suggests that a situation will soon arise where subordination in relationships will come first.

Why do you dream about a holiday at sea?

The most pleasant dream is about relaxing on sea coast, it’s just a pity that waking up will be a little sad. But we can take comfort in the favorable forecasts. Why do you dream of relaxing at sea?

You should expect fun surprises and entertainment.
If you dream of a family vacation, then you will soon have to take care of your loved ones.
If on vacation there is warm sun, clear water and a soft breeze on the beach, then you can safely count on complete well-being in the future.

Why do you dream of swimming in the sea?

Another pleasant vision is sea swimming, provided that the water is gentle and warm, and since in most cases people dream of a resort version of swimming, astrologers call such a dream a pleasant omen. Why do you dream of swimming in the sea? The interpretation also depends on the actions of the participants in the dreams:

Seeing someone bathing means you can help a friend cope with a difficult problem.
Splash in it yourself sea waves- all plans are being implemented successfully, you can expect monetary profit.
Swimming in a calm sea means quick travels or important changes in fate.
Cutting through the waves in a storm is a sign of a romantic adventure.
Swimming in the sea with someone in a dream means a faithful, like-minded person will appear. For a girl to frolic in the waves with a man, she will soon enter into a spiritually compatible marriage.
If you saw a lot of people swimming in a dream, you will be able to successfully use your talents.

Why do you dream of drowning in the sea?

Drowning in the sea in a dream or seeing others drown is no less unpleasant a sight than in reality. Therefore, one cannot expect positive omens here, but astrologers warn: we are not talking about imminent death, but about important warning, which plays a special role. So it’s worth remembering carefully both the details of the dream and its plot. The dream book “sea” gives the following interpretations:

Seeing yourself drowning from the outside means big financial troubles; large loans are not excluded.
At work, you can expect an unscheduled emergency situation.
Drowning in troubled waters, but swimming out at the last moment means difficulties that will be overcome.
If you throw a lifeline, you will have to go into debt, but your friends will help you pay off.
If in a dream you dreamed of going to the bottom, it means an accident or illness.

Why do you dream about the tide at sea?

Seeing a sea with waves in a dream means hectic events in life; the higher the waves, the more difficult the troubles will be. If the water is cloudy, you cannot do without gossip; you should be careful in conversations with colleagues. If the waves are transparent, then routine problems will make themselves felt. And what does the sea mean in a dream during high tide: when the water rises, this is the peak of luck in business, favorable new circumstances will appear. If the sea level rises quickly, with foam, you should expect emotional distress and troubles are possible. A gentle, soft tide promises a pleasant rest.

Why do you dream of a calm sea?

Seeing a calm sea in a dream is a good omen. Some astrologers explain this vision by the need to bring a little excitement and adrenaline into your life. But most predictors agree that the surface of the sea without waves is a symbol happy life. Or evidence that a white streak will soon appear in business, things will go well. You may receive long-awaited news. But plunging into the water during a calm period already indicates future changes in life.

Why do you dream of a storm at sea?

A storm at sea was an alarming sign for our ancestors; in reality, this phenomenon promised a lot of troubles for residents of coastal villages and those who were far from the coast. Therefore, deciphering such a vision remains unpleasant. Why do you dream of a sea with waves:

to loss and failure in business;
to difficult trials;
to a serious illness - one’s own or those of loved ones.

The interpretation also depends on the plot and time of sleep:

Seeing someone die during a storm means the death of relatives.
If there are waves with huge caps of foam, this means false hopes.
I dreamed of a sea storm from Thursday to Friday - to sad news from afar, and from Friday to Saturday - to a quarrel with a friend.
The dreamer is on the shore during a storm - evidence that troubles will pass by.
A storm has destroyed your home - this means big troubles; moreover, friends are unlikely to be able to provide support and help.
Seeing a sea storm sink a ship means significant financial losses.

Why do you dream of a dried up sea?

The dream book of stories about the sea contains many different interpretations. If you look at sea water - to news from distant relatives, then look at the surf - to the expected solution to problems that will happen by itself. It is extremely rare for people to dream of a dried up sea; this is considered a very unfavorable sign. Astrologers agree on the omen that the dreamer will face difficult times, perhaps in all areas of life. Such a dream about the sea can foreshadow financial difficulties, the collapse of a career, and problems in the family. But if you heed this warning and take action, troubles can be completely avoided.

Severe frosts also reached the Black Sea coast. In the areas of Kerch, Evpatoria, and Odessa, the water turned to ice. On the beaches, crumbs of ice float in the water, and small icebergs can be seen 100 meters from the shore.

Due to the current situation, maritime traffic in Ukrainian ports is closed until February 15. The Romanian port of Constanta is closed, and ice thickness on the beaches reaches 40 centimeters. Both Romania and Bulgaria announced a “yellow” and “orange” danger code.

However, the inhabitants of these countries do not despair: they use frozen water as an ice skating rink and build sculptures from ice and snow. The last time such weather anomalies occurred was in 1977, when the Black Sea off the coast of Odessa completely froze.

According to the Hydrometeorological Center of the Black and Azov Seas. “This winter has been marked by sharp and prolonged cold, which has led to the freezing of water near the coast. This phenomenon occurs extremely rarely. The last time the sea froze completely off the coast of Odessa was in 1977.”

For the third time since the beginning of winter, the Azov Sea also became icy. The ice thickness in some places reaches 20 cm; ice blocks up to 5-10 m high washed up to the village of Sedovo, Novoazovsky district, and lined up along the entire coastline. Due to strong winds, ferry flights from Crimea to Russia are temporarily limited.

The thickness of the ice in the coastal zone is about 20 cm. It can easily support the weight of an adult, but there are no people willing to walk on the ice in such weather.

Well, if 1977 is still preserved in the memory of old-timers, then archival and literary sources say that over the past two millennia, more than 20 “cruel” winters have been observed in the Black Sea region with an average interval of 78 years (from 60 to 90 years ). The first information about an unusually harsh winter, in particular that the Black Sea was partially frozen, is found in the letters of Ovid, a poet of ancient times, exiled at the beginning of the 1st century. BC e. in the lower Danube. Ovid writes: “...Thrice the Ister (Danube) became cold from the cold, and three times the wave of the sea became hard.”

There are other more recent reports of unusual cold in the Black Sea region. So, for example, in the winter of 400-401. “...the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits and most of the Black Sea froze for 20 days. In the spring, mountains of ice flowed through the streets of Constantinople for 30 days.”

In the winter of 557-558. “...The Black Sea was covered with ice over a large area.”
Byzantine, Arab and Western European chronicles indicate that in 763-764. “...winter is brutal. From the beginning of October there was a great, cruel cold not only in our land (Byzantium), but also in the east, north, west, so that the northern part of the Pontic (Black) Sea, 100 miles from the coast, turned into stone... And the same thing happened from Zikkhia (Taman Peninsula) to the Danube, from the Kufis River (Kuban) to the Dniester and Dnieper, from all other banks to Media. When the snow fell on such thick ice, its thickness increased further, and the sea took on the appearance of dry land. And they walked along it as if on dry land from the Crimea to Thrace and from Constantinople to Scutari.”

The winter of 1233-1234 was extremely severe throughout the Mediterranean. According to Arago, “... loaded carts moved on ice across the Adriatic Sea near Venice.” A number of other authors confirm that many lagoons of the Mediterranean and the northern part of the Black Sea have frozen.
Two hundred years earlier in 1010 - 1011. frosts shackled the current Turkish coast of the Black Sea. Terrible cold reached Africa (!), the lower reaches of the Nile were frozen in ice.

Winter 1543-1544 It was also exceptionally cold for many European countries - Germany, France, and the countries of the Northern Black Sea region. The north of the Black Sea is covered with ice. In France it was so cold that it was necessary to “chop” wine frozen in large barrels.

In the chronicles of 1708-1709 we read: “...An unusually harsh, snowy and prolonged winter throughout Europe,” the bays completely froze Adriatic Sea, in Venice the air temperature dropped to -20C, “many thousands of people died from the cold, orange trees cracked.” In the same year, the winter in France and Switzerland was unusually cold; strong ice cover was observed on the Thames, Seine, and Rhone. In the Baltic Sea, the ice thickness reached 80 cm.

At the end of the 18th century. in Rus' “there was great snow and a severe winter with frosts, from which many Swedes died,” the northern part of the Black Sea froze. Chroniclers call the winter of 1788-1789 “Great”. There was severe cold throughout Europe: in France (-21C), in Italy (-15C), “severe frosts and snowfalls” in Switzerland, cold weather in Germany, the Vistula froze a month earlier and opened up a month later than usual. In Crimea, frosts reached -25C - in the Northern Black Sea region, “the winter was cruel, full of frost, people crawled out of their huts through the roofs because of the great snow,” and the northern part of the Black Sea froze.

The winter of 1875-1876 was exceptionally harsh, long and heavy with snow in Central and Eastern Europe. The number of snow avalanches has sharply increased in the mountains of Switzerland. Almost all southern rivers were covered with ice much earlier than usual, catastrophic drifts were observed on Caucasian roads, and the Black Sea froze again.

The harshest winter of the twentieth century. the winter of 1953-1954 is considered. Severe, unprecedented cold from November to April stood over a vast territory from Spain and France to Ural ridge. On South Coast In Crimea, the frosts lasted for three months in a row, average monthly temperature February was 10-12C below normal, in Yalta the snow depth exceeded 30 cm, in the Caspian Sea floating ice reached the Absheron Peninsula. The Azov Sea froze completely, stable road traffic was opened through the Kerch Strait, and the northern part of the Black Sea froze.

By the way, the winter of 1962-1963 is remembered for its bitter frosts and fierce snowstorms. Ice bound the usually unfrozen Danish Strait, and the canals of Venice and the rivers of France froze again. The season of 1968-1969 was also named “Winter of Furious Frosts”.

In 2002, due to frost in Germany, ship traffic along the Main-Danube Canal, an important European waterway, was completely stopped. The thickness of the ice in which more than 20 ships were frozen reached 70 cm in some places.

At the same time, due to severe cold, the Venice lagoon froze and the gondolas were frozen into ice. The same frosts occurred in Venice in 1985.

At the end of 2005, most countries in Central and Western Europe were also hit by heavy snowfalls. In Germany and the Netherlands, unusually cold temperatures for this time of year led to icing and downed power lines. In Paris, the Eiffel Tower, France's main attraction, was closed for several hours due to icing.

As for the current situation, according to forecasters, ice in the coastal zone Sea of Azov will last until the second decade of March. In the Odessa region, the sea will clear in the coming days.

frozen sea

The familiar coastline was cluttered with flat, rather thick ice floes, glowing in the place of breakages with the green-blue glass of the Black Sea water; on top they were sugar-white, and one could walk on them without slipping; but it was difficult to climb from one uplifted ice floe to another; sometimes I had to sit on the raised edge of one ice floe, lowering my legs to another, or jump, resting one hand on the broken edge, which looked fragile, but in fact was as strong as granite. It was necessary to walk through this chaos for quite a long time before one’s foot set foot on a flat field of sea frozen to the very horizon. However, it was not easy to walk along this seemingly flat ice expanse: every now and then on the way there were adhesions between individual ice floes, small hummocks and ripples of a wave suddenly captured by frost and turned into an ice floe.

All the way to the horizon, under the bright, cold sun, shining like Captain Hatteras’s mercury bullet, the untouched whiteness of the salty, coarsely frosted ice shone, and only on the very horizon was a blue-black stripe visible open sea and the silhouette of a foreign coal mining steamship frozen in the ice.

The ice thundered under my feet, making it clear that beneath me was a echoing, dangerous expanse of very deep water and that I was walking, as it were, along the echoing vault of a cellar, the gloomy darkness of which could be discerned beneath me in the depths.

I remember clusters of white air bubbles embedded in the ice, resembling lilies of the valley.

To the right and left, lighthouses brightly illuminated by the January sun bulged white - one port, the other Bolshefontansky - and a small icebreaker smoking at the entrance to the Practical Harbor, reminiscent of the famous "Fram" of Fridtjof Nansen, worn down to the very masts in arctic ice, under the organ hanging over him northern lights. Above all this there was such a bright blue sky and there was such a high, unnatural silence and the shore of Dofinovka was painted with such a soft pink winter color, impeccably clearly visible through the burning, crystal air, from which the breath spiraled and shaggy frost grew on the edges of the camel’s cap that was my head was wrapped over a school cap, so that fourteen degrees below zero according to Reaumur seemed like a temperature that was unthinkable for any living creature to withstand.

However, in the distance, moving human figures could be seen here and there on the ice field. These were townspeople taking their Sunday walk on the frozen sea in order to take a close look at the foreign steamer.

An azure shadow stretched from each person, and my shadow was especially dazzling and large, shimmering in front of me over the unevenness of the ice field and jumping over hummocks.

Finally I reached the edge of the ice, behind which, in the almost black steaming water, stood the huge dark red hull of an Italian coal miner with a white monogram on a dirty black chimney, a monogram consisting of crossed Latin letters, which gave the steamer a strangely alluring, almost magical attractive force.

Very high on the deck stood an Italian sailor in a thick sweater, with a canvas bucket in his hand and smoking a long cheap Italian cigar with a straw at the end, and from a round hole - a Kingston from the height of a three-story building - water from the engine room continuously poured like a waterfall, leaving The old iron casing is already quite covered in ice icicles.

The Italian sailor was waving to someone, and I saw two figures moving towards the shore, who sometimes stopped and, in turn, waved to the Italian sailor. Behind them was the double azure trail of the sleds they were dragging behind them.

After walking along the edge of the ice and admiring the Italian coal miner, I headed back. The sun has already noticeably inclined to the west, beyond the city, beyond the white roofs with columns of smoke, beyond the blue dome of the city theater, beyond the monument to Duke.

The frost intensified every minute.

I mechanically walked along the long double trail of the sled and suddenly, quite close to the shore, I saw on the surface of an obliquely reared ice floe with a green break some kind of inscription, deeply and coarsely carved with something sharp, perhaps the end of an iron cane from one of those that people liked to take take our artisans and factory workers along for a Sunday walk.

Maybe they made these iron canes with a round handle for themselves.

For the first time in my life, I read on an ice floe a combination of words that were not entirely clear to me:

“Proletarians of all countries, unite!”

There was something menacing and full of some secret meaning in this azure luminous phrase, which subsequently spread so widely and powerfully throughout our entire land.

What could this spell mean, which in an instant seemed to bring me closer to the people of all countries? - I thought with inexplicable anxiety.

Jumping from the last ice floe onto the icy stones of the shore, I saw three border soldiers in hoods and caps with green bands, climbing along sharp hummocks, heading towards the Italian steamer. The pink sun glittered on the tips of their blued tetrahedral bayonets with hollows for blood drainage.

They looked like people who were late.

What could all this mean and what did it have to do with the word “Spark”, which was carved on the last ice floe, probably with the same homemade iron cane by one of those who were carrying something on their sled, wrapped in matting.

And ten more times a nightmare

THE SEA I saw the sea for the first time almost half a century ago. I remember the train took us for a long time from north to south to my mother’s new place of work - to the Black Sea.

As a rule, the Black Sea does not freeze in winter. But it happens that winter temperatures drop so low that the sea off the coast in the northwestern part freezes for a short time. The climate of the Black Sea is mainly continental.

The weather over the Black Sea is significantly influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, over which most of the cyclones originate, bringing bad weather and storms to the sea.

Sea water is a natural aqueous solution of various salts, in which the bulk of the ions are sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, chlorine, sulfur, and also contains suspended solids, dissolved gases, and some organic compounds.

The presence of dissolved salts in seawater affects the freezing point of water. Sea water, which has an average salinity for the oceans (3.5%), freezes at -1.9 degrees Celsius. So we note that the waters of the Black Sea, as a rule, are not subject to freezing.

But in history there are cases when the Black Sea froze.

Let's look at them:
The first information about an unusually harsh winter and that the Black Sea was partially frozen is found in the letters of Ovid, a poet of ancient times, exiled at the beginning of the 1st century BC. e. in the lower Danube. He writes: “...Thrice the Istr (Danube) became cold from the cold, and three times the wave of the sea became hard.”
From other, more recent reports about unusual cold weather in the Black Sea region, we learn a lot of interesting things:

-In winter 400-401. “...the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits and most of the Black Sea froze for 20 days. In the spring, mountains of ice flowed through the streets of Constantinople for 30 days.”

-In the winter of 557-558.“...The Black Sea was covered with ice over a large area.”

Byzantine, Arab and Western European chronicles indicate that in 763-764“...winter is brutal. From the beginning of October, a great, cruel cold began not only in our land (Byzantium), but also in the east, north, west, so that the northern part of the Pontic (Black) Sea, 100 miles from the coast, turned into stone... And the same happened from Zikkhia ( Taman Peninsula) to the Danube, from the Kufis River (Kuban) to the Dniester and Dnieper, from all other banks to Media. When the snow fell on such thick ice, its thickness increased further, and the sea took on the appearance of dry land. And they walked along it as if on dry land from the Crimea to Thrace and from Constantinople to Scutari.” In February, the ice split into pieces, like great mountains. There were so many crystal blocks rushing from the Black Sea that they formed a huge ice bridge in the Bosphorus.

The winter was extremely strong 1233-34. A number of authors confirm that the northern part of the Black Sea is frozen.

Winter 1543-44 was exceptionally cold for many European countries - Germany, France, and the countries of the Northern Black Sea region. The north of the Black Sea is covered with ice.

According to the South Russian Chronicle, in Rus' “there was great snow and a severe winter with frosts, from which many Swedes died,” and the northern part of the Black Sea froze.

-They call winter “Great” 1788-89 In Crimea, frosts reached -25 degrees, in the Northern Black Sea region “the winter was cruel, full of frosts, people crawled out of their huts through the roofs because of the great snow,” and the northern part of the Black Sea froze. It was this winter, on December 6, in the bitter cold, that the Russian army stormed the Ochakov fortress.

winter 1953-54. is rightly called the “winter of the century.” On the southern coast of Crimea, frosts lasted for three months in a row; the average monthly temperature in February was 10-12 degrees below normal; in Yalta, the depth of snow cover during this period exceeded 30 centimeters. The Azov Sea froze completely, stable road traffic was opened through the Kerch Strait, and the northern part of the Black Sea froze.

So, over the past 2 thousand years, more than 20 “strong” winters have been recorded in the Black Sea region. The time interval between them is on average 75 years (in most cases from 60 to 90 years).
