Drowning

Date: 11/28/2019

I ran down the jetty and did a bombie off the end. There was people swimming around me in the lake. The water was well lit and completely clear. Almost as though there was no water at all. I was floating mid way between the ground and the surface struggling to get to the top. I couldn’t breathe. I flayed my arms in an absolute panic trying to get to the surface, hoping someone could help me. A boy about 12 reached down and grabbed my arm. I relaxed, knowing that he could pull me up and I didn’t want to struggle and drown him. ~ I always dream of swimming and I can always breathe underwater. I know that my drowning in the dream means I’m feeling overwhelmed and anxious. Usually it’s a tidal wave coming to kill me. It was interesting to be drowning in still water that I can see clearly in.
