To dream about drowning suggests an anxiety. There is a fear of being overwhelmed by repressed emotions or disturbing feelings in your waking life. If the dream involves someone else it shows your concern for their health.

I dreamed I was sitting in an old fashioned boat, like the ones on the Nile river, where there is a boatman who is poling the boat.
all of a sudden the boat starts to sink and I’m in the water, a crocodile is waiting for me and starts to eat me from the feet up, leaving my head, surrounded by red bubbles, and I’m screaming for help.

I keep dreaming that I’m being saved by the same person. Twice I’ve dreamed that I was drowning and I was saved, and once I dreamed that I nearly got hit by a train and that same person keeps appearing in my dream to save me. What does this mean?

I dreamt that my husband had drowned. Then once I can see his face above the water level. Later, I see that he is wearing green t-shirt & walking up the steps. His back is towards, me but he turns & gives me a smile and then continues walking up the steps.

Ok so this is weird,
In my dream my house is completely submerged inside but it’s sunny and fine outside. I start swimming to the door to let the water out when I see this random girl I’ve never seen before, and as I get to the door and open it, she hits the floor and I wake up… I’m so confused.

I had a dream just yesterday night and in the dream all I remember the most vividly is me standing outside in the front of I guess what was my house and looking up to see a huge tidal wave coming and i rAn into the house and the wave crashed it and I wAs swept away and was being strangled by what looked like a blanket and was drowning. After that I’m not sure what happened that’s just about all I remember of the dream. What could this mean?

I had this one dream that I’ll always remember, I was walking in town with a friend of mine (female) and my ex-fiancee, We came to a flooded part of town and i fell into the water and started drowning, my ex pulled me out but set me close to the water and I started drowning again, again he pulled me out, i was drowning again, FINALLY after that he picked me up and set me on a hill away from the water. He saved me 3 times in this dream and I have no idea what it means!
