Drowning

[flutterby]

I had a dream that I was standing in the ocean looking at a white sandy shore with pine trees. I could feel the soft sand under my feet and started swimming while still facing the shore. I was about 15ft from the shore when I suddenly felt a strong current pull me toward my left. I tried to put my feet down but it was too deep, I could no longer feel the sand. I started to struggle and panic. I eventually went under. I kept trying to swim to the surface to get air but I was held under and tossed around. I couldn't breath and panicked more. I tried with all my might and finally managed to get my lips above the surface and gasped for air.

I then woke up out of my sleep in the middle of the night and was gasping for air at the same time.

The next morning I was going to tell my mom the dream because it seemed so real. Though i've been a water person all my life and love the ocean, I have never had a dream of drowning. Before I could tell my mom, she told me that she had a dream the night before also. She had a dream that she was looking at me in the ocean when suddenly a bunch of trees, mud and debris started filling the ocean from the her left and cause a strong current to come towards me. She then saw me go under the water and couldn't find me.

I freaked out when she told me and then shared my dream with her. I took it as a warning and didn't go to the beach that week. However, that weekend when I went to church, we had a guest speaker by the name of Jim Mellado from Willow Creek who shared his testimony about him and his son nearly drowning in a riptide in the ocean and how it changed their life.

I still don't know what all of this means.

when did you have this dream? did you see the follding on the amazon? 19 people were killed. do you track your dreams? when you have them when they happen etc... if people would start watching their dreams they would see we can learn alot from them.

It was on Feb. 4th or 5th of this year. I just started writing down my dreams at the beginning of this year.

The "Follding on the Amazon"? Did you mean flooding?

I just googled flooding and amazon and saw the story. I took a look at the pictures and video. I don't know if that's what the dream was about. I think if I saw a picture or video of something that looked like the same things that I saw in my dream, I would be convinced that it was about this event.
