I’ve had three drowning dreams. There was one where my family and I were in some fantastical land and I was living in a tree house, before a tsunami came to wipe us out. We managed to escape by climbing across some weird bridge things. In the second dream, I was in an insane asylum with my ex-boyfriend and there was no one but us. We were both silent. After a while, I went outside and saw my younger sister and father on a boat. The memory got muddled then, but I remember my dad faded from the dream and I was being hunted by mercenaries, so grabbed my sister and pulled her underwater right before I was able to get us to safety. I dove back in, and the dream became really vivid when I was fighting the mercenary underwater and I was holding their arm and they were rapidly kicking me. In the third dream, last night, we were watching the news of a school shooting and how this kid stole the shooters gun, defended his school, and ran back inside. Then it shifted to the shooter, who was still outside with the gun and was now after me, my parents, two strangers, and both my younger and older sisters. I told the strangers to run and somehow, when I covered my parents bodies with my own, the shooter didn’t shoot. We managed to get to the road, which suddenly went underwater, so I led my sisters over a boardwalk. The shooter and my parents disappeared and I led them pretty far over the boardwalk until we reached a dead end. When we turned to double back, the shooter was there and apparently I stole their gun, but I didn’t know how to shoot it. They came at us, and I realized it was a syringe, so I just tried to hit them. They got knocked into the water, we tried to run, but they swam back in front of us and started shaking the walk. I got scared, they taunted me, and then the boardwalk broke. We all fell under and I pushed my older sister to the surface. Someone was sinking, but I didn’t know who it was under my younger sister was screaming, “help,” in a really traumatic way, and the dream ended when I went to save her. Clearly there is a theme between these. What does it mean?

Last night I dreamt I almost drowned. Some of my friends and I were at a pool somewhere. I had something in my hands. I dropped it into the water, and the object was made of a material that sinks. So I swam way down into the water. By the way, this was a very deep pool. I couldn’t see the bottom. I reached the object (it still hadn’t reached the bottom), and started swimming back up to the surface. But I didn’t have much breath left. I struggled to hold my breath. Finally, I gave up. I couldn’t hold it anymore. I inhaled deeply, and of course, this made me swallow a lot of water. I got back up to the surface but I was choking. I couldn’t breathe. I struggled to keep my head above the water. I felt myself going down. Then I saw one of my friends looking at me. He swam over, to help me, I guess. He started pulling me to the edge of the pool (I was in the middle of the pool), but my dream abruptly ended there. So technically no one ever actually saved me. What could this mean?
I dreamed I was on a farm and it had snowed; a beautiful quiet snow.

I remember sinking in the cold water but not being afraid.
