Changes

Water is the symbol of a state of consciousness or a plane.
***
Sea or Ocean
The sea with the sun over it is a plane of consciousness lit by the Truth. To enter into the rays is to be no longer merely lit by it, but in one’s own conscious being to begin to become part of the Truth.
***
A sea in tumult usually indicates a vital upheaval or a period of strain and stress and struggle.
***
The blue ocean is often a symbol of the spiritual consciousness in higher Mind one and indivisible.
***
Normally, the ocean of higher consciousness is above the head (mind) and all below is that of the lower consciousness. Your seeing of the two oceans rather means that in the descent the influence of the higher consciousness reaches down to the heart (emotional being with the psychic behind it), but does not yet reach below in the lower vital and physical—but it is dissolving the knot in the heart centre which prevents the descent into the lower vital and physical centres. The joy in the śānta svarūpa is indeed a sign of the release of the heart centre. But the phrase in the Upanishads refers more particularly to the breaking of the knots of desire, attachment, sanskara, ego in the heart, which stand in the way of spiritual liberation and ascension—not to the knot which prevents the descent. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/water-and-bodies-of-water</ref>
