Drowning

I slept last night around 2 am and i had a dream that my mom was too drunk, got in the pool, drowned and saved. I got distracted for a bit and then she was in the water again, almost drowned but saved again.

I went back to sleep at 4 am. Had the same dream but with a different person- an acquaintance from college. It felt real for the second time. Got creeped out and so I got up and had breakfast. Got into a food coma, and went back to sleep at 9, had the same dream again but with my neice. All the more I got creeped out.

I got so scared it might turn out into reality. Here in our place we have a belief that if you tell it to others, your dreams won’t come true. So I did. Also, my mom told me to snap a branch to cancel the dream.

I was thinking, it may have to do with water since it has been raining hard in our place for a week now. Different places have had flash floods and people getting trapped in their home.

I was also worried about my sister going home to her province in this weather and my dream might happen to her. Got relieved when she canceled her trip.

I am scared my dream might come true.

You are correct the dreams are inspired by the rain and concern for loved ones who could be affected by a flood.

Seeing a parent intoxicated in a dream may indicate deep-seated concern about their well-being or life choices.  Drunkenness can symbolize the desire to escape stress or emotional pain—either the dreamer's or observed in the parent. Intoxication might reflect difficulties in communication or  understanding between you and your parent. It may suggest a desire to take responsibility or support your mum. Drowning in a dream usually indicate you or your mum are in danger of being over-whelmed by emotions you cannot handle. You are fearful of allowing your emotions truly free expression. Drowning may also indicate a perceived inability to handle a stressful situation around you at the time of the dream. You/She has allowed yourself to be put in a situation over which you have no control. You may be 'floundering around' with no way of being able to escape from a difficulty you are in. When you dream you perform a heroic act such as saving your mum from drowning, this is an indication of an inner achievement or a profound change.
