It may also be seen as a time when you share another person’s burden. (In folk dream interpretations, pulling someone out of the water may be read as a scene representing protection, help, and responsibility within a relationship.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream when you are tense from treating a family member’s, partner’s, or colleague’s problem as your own. Along with your wish to help, it may also show the burden of wondering how far your responsibility should go.
