Breathing underwater

[Orion-]

I vaguely remember having dreams when I was younger about breathing underwater. I can't remember how I ended up underwater, I think sometimes just in the swimming pool or in the sea, and sometimes because of a flood or something like that. At first I would panic in this dream but then find out I could breathe. In later dreams, there was no more panic and I was used to the situation.

I'm not sure why but lately I've been thinking about this again. I can't really recall having similar dreams again, but it came to mind again. Maybe I am having dreams like this again, but I'm not recalling them, but I am remembering that I am again having those dreams. Maybe I just started thinking about them again.

I've thought about the meaning of it, but I wonder what other people think about it as well. What do you think it means?

Who knows.  I've had many dream awareness experiences "underwater"... some expected, some unexpected.  I was always astounded that I could "breath" underwater. 

I've also had a bunch of lucid and astral awareness experiences (mostly lucid though) "underwater"... I believe the same occurred, I was usually astounded that it was happening.  LoL

I've had those. It's like I become "one with the water" or something. Pretty neat.

A lot of dreams can leave you wondering "wth?" Who knows why we dream what we dream though. Either way, a lot of my LD's are interesting lol

I'd have to say, everytime my dreams lead me to me being submerged in water, are the ones that make me lucid.. but i get excited and wake up

Not just underwater breathing but riding and swimming in tsunami sized waves.. and now that I think about it, it is also a time when I become the most lucid, that is when I realise I can breath under water. It is a fairly common theme for me and it usually at a beach I used to go to every year as a child with my family. Being a familiar and comfortable place, I think is why I never get shocked awake from the fear of the wave size or being under water before I take the first breath. I don't recall this experience ever happening at any place other than a beach, even when it's not the exact same beach I am familiar with.. It's never happen in the deep ocean or a lake or whatever.

sounds like a kick to me.. you know the realization that you are breathing under water. that is the kick.. then you go o wow i am dreaming. then it becomes a LD. then on to bigger and better things.. maby its your kick to get you to come to your sences. mine is falling. or being in a place i know. i have had some bad ones were i have been shot in the chest and told wake up dumb dumb. maby just have an afinity for water and its an easy and non scary way to get you to notice..
