I didn’t even get to list a single item. Ten minutes after I created my eBay account, it was permanently suspended. The system flagged me as a hacker—just because I logged in from a passkey. No chance to appeal. No warning. Just gone.

The strange part? A few days earlier, I had a dream I couldn’t forget. A dream about giant ships being hit by a tidal wave. They flipped sideways across a calm ocean—huge, clean, powerful vessels—completely overturned but not broken. And somehow, it all felt connected.

The Dream

In the dream, I stood there watching. The ocean was calm except for the impact zone. Suddenly, a massive wave crashed into a line of brand new ships—cargo ships, maybe cruise liners. One by one, they tipped and fell. They didn’t sink. They didn’t even shatter. They just lay there, sideways, unmoving but still intact.

I wasn’t afraid. I was… confused. I remember thinking: Why are there so many? Why do they look untouched? Why do I feel like this means something?

The Meaning

In dream interpretation, ships represent your personal journey—your goals, your business ventures, or your responsibilities. A tidal wave is typically a symbol of emotional shock, overwhelm, or a sudden disruption. The fact that these ships were pristine and large points to new projects, major ambitions, or fresh starts.

And the eBay project? It was exactly that. Something I was truly excited about. Something I had been preparing to launch.

The suspension happened too fast. It didn’t even feel real. But the dream reminded me: even if things fall over, that doesn’t mean they’ve failed. The ships weren’t broken. They were just paused.

Deeper Meaning

That dream might have reflected how I felt underneath it all—hopeful but anxious, ambitious but unsure. The wave could be the emotional impact of putting myself out there, only to be immediately stopped. But none of it means I’m done. If anything, it reminds me that I still care enough to try again.

A Cultural Perspective

In Korean dream interpretation, large ships symbolize great luck, success, or big life shifts. A ship turning over may warn of obstacles or interference. But if the ships stay afloat and remain intact, it can mean unexpected fortune, protection, or resilience under pressure.

So here I am, trying again. Not with the same account, but with the same determination.

If you’ve ever had a project stall before it even began—if you’ve ever dreamed of tidal waves or watched something full of potential fall sideways—remember: not everything that gets knocked over is lost.

Sometimes your dreams are just waiting for the right moment to stand back up.

🧠 I woke up my brain. One more time. Let’s go.

✨ If you’re ready to reset your mind too —
there’s this 7-minute audio I’ve been listening to lately.
It’s called Billionaire Brain Wave,
and it’s based on neuroscience research about activating your brain’s theta state —
that deep mental zone where creativity, clarity, and flow happen naturally.

No effort. Just play it once a day.
It helped me get back on track, so I figured I’d share it here too.
