Life-boat
A life-boat often touches rescue and escape from threatened evil — though a sinking one signals friends adding to your distress. The dream may ask what danger you're trying to get clear of, whether the means of your rescue is sound or failing, and how it feels to stake your safety on a small craft amid waters that nearly overwhelmed you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for life-boat, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of being in a life-boat, denotes escape from threatened evil.
To see a life-boat sinking, friends will contribute to your distress.
To be lost in a life-boat, you will be overcome with trouble, in which your friends will be included to some extent. If you are saved, you will escape a great calamity.
