soaring over deep ocean on a flat board and not being able to keep balance and falling into a pit of giant squid-like deadly sea creatures and not being able to swim in any direction and then being underwater and starting to feel my arms get numb by their tentacles and fearing for my life and thinking I’m going to die
Dreams about being unable to keep balance or falling can often reflect feelings of insecurity or instability in your waking life. The deep ocean symbolizes the depths of your emotions or the unknown, and the flat board may represent a lack of control or stability in navigating those emotional depths.
The giant squid-like sea creatures could symbolize overwhelming challenges, fears, or threats that you feel are lurking beneath the surface of your consciousness. The feeling of being paralyzed and unable to swim in any direction suggests a sense of powerlessness or feeling trapped in a difficult situation.
The numbness in your arms could represent a loss of strength or agency in facing these challenges or dealing with your emotions. The fear of death in the dream may be a manifestation of your anxiety about the potential consequences of not being able to overcome these obstacles.
Overall, this dream could be a reflection of your fears, anxieties, and feelings of being overwhelmed by a situation in your waking life that you perceive as threatening or out of your control. It may be helpful to explore these feelings further and consider seeking support or finding ways to regain a sense of empowerment and agency in addressing whatever challenges you are facing.
