Dream
Hi Ian I have a recurring dream of diving into water …. often green and murky …. I dive in perfectly straight so sink to a great depth …. I then start arching my back and begin to turn to rise up to the surface but I do it too quickly and start to rotate in the water …. I begin to turn faster and faster until I am so disorientated that I no longer know which way is up …. I am conscious that I cannot hold my breath for much longer and I panic because I don’t know which way to swim to the surface… Elspeth
Meaning
When you dream of water you are reflecting on your own emotions and experiences. There is probably a romantic situation in your waking life where you have dived straight in and become deeply involved in a very short space of time. The green and murky water indicates that you are unsure about your feelings of jealousy in this situation and so you are keen to bring some clarity to them.
As you try to clarify the nature of your new relationship, you attempt to stand back from it so you can take things more lightly. However, this sends you into a bit of an emotional spin and you are not sure whether to end the relationship or just to continue to go with the flow. Your breath symbolises your rational mind and you are concerned that your deeper instincts are taking over your ability to reason properly.
You are desperate to return to the world of rationality but you are being swamped by your feelings and you are no longer sure what to do. Rather than continuing to completely immerse yourself in this new romance, try standing back a little and firmly deciding what you really want from the relationship.
