I recently had this dream and I really cant shake it off. I’ve been thinking about what it means and what to do with that meaning.

In this dream my family, boyfriend and I were having dinner. We all knew a dustater was coming, but we didn’t know what yet. Moments later there was a knock on the door. It was an officer telling us to evacuate as soon as possible because a flood was coming. we all rushed out of the house and started walking to the end of the block. it wasn’t till we reached the end that I realized i had forgotten my phone and it was necessary for me to have it because i needed to tell my friend the flood was near and she needed to leave immediately. my boyfriend voluntary said he’s get it because he was a fast runner. As we were waiting we saw the flood come our way. My boyfriend hadn’t returned and i was extremely worried because i knew i was going to die. mainly because i couldn’t swim. i knew my time was up, and all i wanted was to die with him, but he was nowhere near. the flood took me and my family wasn’t near me anymore either. i was alone and then my location changed and i was in a big solid box filled with water. I was unable to survive because there were no air hole or even a little are above with air. it was completely filled with water,but i wasn’t alone. I was with 3 other spread out people. And that’s when i saw my boyfriend again. I tried to reach out to him and call him but i couldn’t because he was too far for me to reach. I wasn’t sure if he saw me or chose to ignore me but he swam past me and i had drowned.

Emily – The disaster coming was the feelings you are trying to work out about your boyfriend. The dream paints an awful picture of you being left in the lurch by him – leaving you to drown.

That might be so, but dreams often are just showing what you feel is happening, but when you think about a lover, a friend or a person you know, you are only taking in your thoughts, impressions and feelings about them. So many people do not realise that they have an inner person equally as powerful as the external person you know. You have taken in millions of bits of memory, lessons learnt, life experiences along with all the feelings or problems met by meeting or living with them, and they change you and make you the person you are. The memories and experience we gather unconsciously change us and are not lost. It is part of you and is symbolised in dreams as a person or event. Such an inner person can appear in dreams because you still carry the memories or impressions of them, and so they influenced what you hold within you.

But your dream shows you ‘going under’ emotionally, which is bad news. If that is so you are caught in a bad position, largely because we are born as mammals, and mammals are prone to react with immense emotions when any threatening situation occurs. But as human mammals we are in an even worse situation, because wild mammals quickly lose their intense reaction, but as humans we hold on to it for ages because we think about it, which triggers the awful emotions again and again and again.
