I just woke from a rather terrifying dream of drowning. It's the first drowning dream I've ever had....and it had a soundtrack. Well, at least a song. As I was drowning the chorus of the song "Lorelai" by Fleet Foxes played repeatedly. "Old news, old news to you now..." I struggled to rise from the water (which corresponded to me struggling to wake myself). As I was waking/rising, I saw my body below me in the water. Then the shape of my drowned body in the water transformed to that of the light from my window on the wall, and I was awake. Very disorienting. The thing is, when I thought I was drowning - when I gave into it as a reality - I had an expectation of "well, that's over. What's next?"

*blink blink* Hmm. I think I'm glad I rarely remember my dreams! :)
that's fascinating
It was so strange.
The shape transformed into light on the wall is a powerful image.
I've had a suffocating dream before and it can be quite unsettling.
Next time you dream of being underwater, tell your subconscious to insert hunky mermen to aid you.
