My Dreams About Drowning
My dreams about drowning go back to when I was a young child. There are several elements that I associate with this dream; the realization that one is in a river is one of them. If you have ever tried to enter a river, you know that there is no room to negotiate. You will just get pushed back into the water. For some reason, this appears to be the main theme of my dreams about drowning, even though there are many other things in my life that I don’t experience dream about drowning.
My dream about drowning comes when I am in bed, fast asleep. The thoughts of what is going to happen to keep coming into my mind. Everything is going to go wrong. I’m not alone. I will drown. As the realization sets in, I wake up and start crying. It seems as if the tears are coming from nowhere, yet they feel so real.
My dreams about drowning were a warning to not do what I believe to be wrong. When I realized that I was going to drown, I felt a panic starts to set in. I felt like I couldn’t breathe or I was going to die. The thoughts kept intruding. Yet I still tried to make it to the edge of the river. I guess I just didn’t want to go under water. This is the reason why I get caught in the water before I realize what is happening.
