Hello OzMeg 
The first part of the dream sure appears to be a symbolic representation of astral flight, especially considering the tether (silver cord?) and the ocean (the unconscious). Does this dream indicate an advance of some sort in your abilities, albeit perhaps unconsciously? (because you knew the ship wouldn't crash)
If this is not the case, then perhaps it indicates that there is more control or security in certain aspects of your life. Or maybe this is a reflection of your desires in life, your progress towards them, and being more "grounded"/connected than in the past as you pursue them.
The second part could also be saying something about being grounded (bare feet) ... perhaps a need to be more grounded, or to not be swayed from being grounded (refuse to put shoes on). I'm not quite sure how to interpret this. The message could be about "wearing someone else's shoes", understanding someone's perspective or situation, or a refusal to do so. Maybe it's about standing your ground, walking your own walk.?
I'm afraid my thoughts and words are not coming out very smoothly.
Do you recognize any portion of this? Does anything strike a chord?
