I had a dream where I was driving somewhere and then I totally forgot where I was going. I tried to call my friend who I was meant to be meeting with in the dream, except my phone dialled an overseas phone number by mistake. Because of this, the phone sort of stopped working. I was relying on the phone for navigation, and while it was fussing around trying to dial the number, in my confusion, I had driven into a massive body of water. Really far into it. To my left there was an endless grey wall. To my right, still, lifeless grey water stretching as far as I could see. Above, a vast grey sky.
The phone no longer had reception.
It seemed that there was no way back and no point going forward or outward as no destination could be seen.
I was standing at this point in the water, and the water near the wall was shallow, I looked down at my feet, and saw that there was something underneath and started scratching at it.
The surface was soft and flaky. Kind of a rubbery substance. It was actually kind of easy to dig at.
And I was able to flake away something, that looked like it was uncovering a hole or tunnel, maybe some way to get out. I felt pleased at myself for finding this.
I wasn't sure if this escape route would just fill with water but it seemed promising.
Then I woke up.

So crazy!!! I've always been fascinated with water in dreams. I've had dreams of HUGE bodies of water. Like, huge rolling waves, bigger than anything in real life. It's freaky and I have them every so often, so that has to be a reoccurring dream or something, right? Your's sounds so interesting. And don't you hate when you haven't "finished" the dream and you wake up?
ReplyDeleteHi Risa- I have been recording my dreams a bit lately and have found that water is a recurring theme recently. So is driving - very much so. In my dreams the water is generally still, clear. And it's interesting to notice this after my thoughts on "leaking" (in prev blog post). So I looked up some dream dictionaries and the take on water varies but often signifies emotion. I tend to be a very calm person so often the water in my dreams is calm and clear. Although in this dream I think the water seemed to be sadness. OH and the crazy thing was when I looked up a dream dictionary, one of the first references about water says "Water is a symbol of life and fertility"....
