Recurring beach dream but "inland".

Hi, I have tried to find some sort of meaning to this recuring dream theme iv had for years but no real luck. Some info about me, I'm male, 26, getting married very soon. Steady full time job. No real stress in my life except some family drama. (I read the sticky so trying to provide enough info).

Basically the recuring dream is I go to the beach but it's never just the beach. It's the beach maybe in the bay where there is still land as you look out to the ocean. Or im staying in a cove or inlet off of the ocean. Or I'm on the beach but theres many small islands from keeping me from the vast openness of the ocean. Basically, there is always something blocking me from the ocean even though I am there and that's what I came for. I always feel excited to be at the beach but then depressed/sad/upset/dissapointed that I'm not truly on the ocean front.

The "story" that goes with the dream is usually different. I really can't recall em, I just recall the recurring them stated above.

But I do remember the dream I had last night, I brought my fresh water fishing equipment to the beach. I also remember thinking I could swim out to one of those islands to fish also, but I needed more appropriate salt water tackle first, so went to the mall but all the stores closed early because it was a holiday, but only at the beach, "clam day".

I'm not sure if the stories have much meaning for the dream, again they are never really the same, just the theme, and I hardly ever remember that part. Iv had these dreams on and off for years now.

I just thought I might reach out to a place like this to maybe get some kind of idea about it. Thanks in advance.
