Drowning
What it can mean
Drowning dreams often mirror feeling overwhelmed — by emotions, responsibilities or a situation that's over your head. They can be frightening, but they usually reflect stress rather than danger. Being rescued or reaching the surface suggests that help and relief are within reach.
A question to sit with
What feels like too much right now, and who could help you carry it?
