A dream about a heavier body sinking in water - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may reflect feeling unable to escape because worries or responsibilities have piled up all at once.
Underwater, your body grows as heavy as lead and sinks. Even when you move your arms and legs, you cannot stay afloat until someone reaches out or you barely make it out of the water.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of falling into water or sinking have sometimes been interpreted as being weighed down by worries and difficulties. Coming back out of the water may be seen as a movement toward escaping a blocked situation. (In folk dream interpretation, water has traditionally symbolized emotions and the flow of daily life, while sinking has symbolized burdens.)
Through the mind: You may have something you feel you must handle alone, such as work, money, or family problems. If someone helped you get out, the scene may reflect a real wish to ask for help.
