I was back where I grew up and I was on the river bank and trapped there. The river started flooding and I was panicking because I was going to drown. I remember the water was very clear unlike in real life. Suddenly I looked over and my grandfather who passed away almost 20 years ago was sitting in a rocking chair smiling at me. He told me to hurry up and find a way out and not to worry about anyone else, they would all be okay. And then I somehow flew up away from all the water.
