I’ve never been able to submerge into the depths of water. I even dreamed about my mother falling through a trapdoor attached to the seabed and I couldn’t do anything about it. I can swim and walk on it but I can’t immerse myself into it.

    I can’t remember where I heard it, maybe some publication with either a vague or semi direct association with Jung, but water can often symbolize emotion in dreams. With oceans in particular, it can symbolize one’s struggle with emotional regulation.

      I didn’t know that but it checks out for me. In fact I struggle with identifying my emotions. I am very empathetic and I get what others are feeling but when it comes to understand what I’m feeling I’m lost.
