The water coming over the sea wall

drowning

I was on the front at Weston and the sea came over the wall in one piece, like a lid closing. I got as far as the car park. I have never been in a flood and I do not know why this is the one that keeps coming back.

  • helplessness
  • dread

They would like: Personal thoughts

What the dream brought up for you. Not what it means for them.

    A lid closing is a horrible image and a very good description. I do not have anything useful to add. I just did not want to read it and say nothing.

Before you respond

  • No diagnosing. Not their mental health, not their relationship, not their body.
  • No certainty. "This might connect to…" rather than "this means…"
  • Nothing that predicts a death, an illness or a disaster. Ever.
  • No encouraging paranoia about someone in the dreamer's life.
  • Say which tradition you are drawing on, if you are drawing on one.
  • Content warnings on anything graphic.
  • Personal belief is welcome. Personal belief presented as established fact is not.

Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
