$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ronin', ' ')I've had dreams of the ocean coming inland since I was very small. Where you in a position of harm in that dream?
Well, I was inland, and since I live in Chicago, that *is* inland, even though we are near the Great Lakes, mine being Lake MIchigan. This was not Lake Michigan cresting, but the Ocean water. I was filled with dread!
I started watching surfing videos on youtube to desensitize, but I still fear "the big wave".
When I was going through a transitory change in my life (parents got ill, passed on, divorce of first marriage, etc.) I started having dreams of myself going down a creek almost, in a little craft, and watching where it went, the craft followed tributaries until I was floating down a river like the Mississippi, the water went from clear and bubbling, to churning and muddy, running rapids, almost. In the dreams, I wasn't afraid, for some reason, I should have been if I were in real time life!
The water there didn't scare me, and I've lived for a bit in Miami, and went snorkeling in the Keys, etc. I've learned how to swim from a very young age, and grew up with an above-ground pool in the backyard, so no, it's not that I am afraid of swimming or water.
This was "ominous" and it dealt with the PLANET, I wasn't as concerned for myself, because I *knew* I was a "goner" when I saw all that water. Maybe I fear this transition? It was overwhelming! It felt like "DOOM" personified.
